The Phuket Aquarium is a nice place to visit, especially with kids. The marine life displays are interesting and well presented, and the staff are friendly. At the moment, one of the main buildings is closed for renovation, so the experience feels a bit shorter than expected. Still, it’s worth going for a relaxed and educational stop during your stay in Phuket.

Looking for a relaxing stop before or after your beach time at Panwa Cape? This aquarium is the perfect spot! The entrance fee is very affordable, making it a great budget-friendly activity. It’s not a huge place, but that’s the charm you can explore at your own pace without feeling rushed. Inside, you’ll find a variety of colorful fish, turtles and a calm atmosphere that makes you feel closer to...

A great place to learn about local marine life! Lots of native fish species and different zones to explore. The fish tunnel was super cool, and there’s even a marine breeding and conservation center out back, which was a nice surprise. Really enjoyed my visit fun, educational, and relaxing. Some display areas could use a bit more life (a few tanks felt a bit empty), but overall it’s a lovely spot....
Kasemsan Predaboon
Amazing government aquarium, it is bigger than what I imagined and take half day to complete all. The ticket includes aquarium, fish foster and turtle foster, all three places are scattered but still walkable distance.

As a foreigner I have to 300 Baht. Looks empty and quiet. The fishes on display were not a lot. It was hot and the aircon were in short supply and therefore they use fans as well. If you have been to better aquariums like Osaka or Singapore, don’t bother to come here. Not worth your time and money. It’s a bit run down and not many exhibits and fishes. Cash only. No credit cards or digital paymen...
Visit in the morning to avoid afternoon monsoon showers and crowds.
