Aqua Planet Ilsan seems promising at first glance, but the reality inside is pretty disappointing. For an aquarium this size, there’s surprisingly little to see, and the enclosures are honestly too small. Take the five raccoons, for example—they’re in a limited space that doesn’t give them room to move or play freely. It’s unsettling to see.

The seals, otters, and walruses all look cute, but there’s this deep sadness in their eyes, almost like they’ve lost that spark animals should have. They just sit there, lacking emotion, like they’re not even engaged with their surroundings.

The enclosures are clean, and the animals seem well-fed, but it’s hard to leave without feeling sad. It’s clear the animals deserve more space, stimulation, and a better environment to thrive. Aqua Planet Ilsan really needs to consider these animals' quality of life over aesthetics.
