The Coex Aquarium, located within the massive Coex Mall in Seoul, is a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. Despite being housed inside a shopping mall—one of the largest in South Korea—the aquarium itself is impressively spacious and immersive. It offers a diverse range of marine life exhibits, each organized into captivating themes. Among these are displays featuring Korean local fish and a research center that provides insight into aquatic ecosystems.

During my visit during the holiday season, I was delighted to see festive touches, like Christmas decorations adorning the tanks, which added a unique and cheerful atmosphere to the experience. As with other major aquariums, Coex boasts a variety of marine species, including sharks and stingrays, but what truly sets it apart is its signature Mermaid Show. This enchanting performance features divers dressed as mermaids gracefully swimming inside the tanks, creating a magical and unforgettable spectacle for visitors of all ages.

Overall, the Coex Aquarium offers not just an educational and entertaining glimpse into marine life but also a few delightful surprises that make it stand out. Whether you’re a marine enthusiast, a family with kids, or someone looking to add a special experience to your trip, this aquarium is well...

My wife and I visited the Coex Aquarium a few years back, eager to see the penguins and other marine creatures. The moment we stepped inside, we were transported into a vibrant underwater world, teeming with life and color. The gentle sounds of water flowing and fish swimming created a serene atmosphere that enveloped us.

As we wandered through the exhibits, each one more captivating than the last, we finally arrived at the penguin zone. Watching the penguins waddle and glide through the water with such grace brought sheer delight to both of us. Their playful antics and curious nature were a joy to observe.

Then, there were the mesmerizing jellyfish, floating like ethereal dancers in their illuminated tanks, and the majestic sharks gliding effortlessly through the water, commanding respect and awe.

We spent hours exploring each corner of the aquarium, fascinated by the diversity of marine life.

Our visit to the Coex Aquarium was not just a glimpse into the lives of these incredible creatures, but also a reminder of the beauty and wonder that exists beneath the ocean's surface. It was an experience we cherished and often reminisced about, sparking a deeper appreciation for the natural world and its...

I had the opportunity to visit COEX Aquarium during my trip to South Korea with my family, and overall, it was a great experience. However, there were a few minor issues, so I decided to give it 4 stars instead of 5. The biggest highlight of COEX Aquarium is its incredible variety of marine life. I was really impressed by the number of species on display, from majestic sharks and giant stingrays to colorful tropical fish. The aquarium also has several themed zones, such as the underwater tunnel, the rainforest area, and an adorable otter exhibit. The layout is well-designed, making it easy for visitors to explore and enjoy the experience fully. However, on the day I visited, I noticed that the water in some tanks wasn’t as clear as I expected, and some of the glass panels were a bit dirty, which slightly affected the viewing experience. While it wasn’t a major issue, better maintenance would definitely enhance the overall experience. Overall, COEX Aquarium is still a fantastic place to visit, especially for families with children or anyone who loves marine life. If they improve the cleanliness of the tanks and glass panels, I would definitely consider giving it 5 stars next time!
