Superb aquarium!
Very impressive aquarium! Exceeded expectations and the largest tanks I have ever laid eyes on. Great family activity, we travelled down from Nantou county for this and well worth the trip! Highlight for me would be the humungous Coral Kingdom tank with a shipwreck and various underwater tunnels passing through for spectators to get a real feel for being underwater with marinelife. Also the Beluga whales and scuba diver feeding was impressive. Such a variety of different marine ecologies in each section of the museum. If I had to find fault it would be that the touch and feel session for the kids was rather strcit; not even allowed to pick up the starfish. All in all a great day out and well worth the entrance fee. Will return! :-D

Nice place to spend a day with family & kids
It is located in a bit remote. The public transportation is limited. The admission is NT$250 each for senior. You can see the design and layout is excellent. The various aquarium is well maintained. If you are not a marine biologist you might find those swimming in the tank not that special except the penguins show are very outstanding.

Nicely planned, family friendly
Thankfully it was the week before the holidays here. There weren’t as many people so we can really relax and enjoy each exhibit. I was impressed with the amount of thought and funds to go into each display. There were many interactive exhibits for young and old which in a joyful way taught as well. The restaurants offered were relaxing as well as quick it’s available. Walking out to the water was connective to whole ambience of the park. Well done. I would recommend it.
