I recently visited Underwater World Pattaya, and I must say it was an incredible experience! From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the sheer beauty and wonder of the marine world. It truly felt like stepping into another realm. The variety of marine life on display is simply astonishing. From vibrant tropical fish to majestic sharks and graceful manta rays, every corner of this aquarium was teeming with fascinating creatures. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the marine inhabitants without compromising their safety. One of the highlights of my visit was the mesmerizing walk-through tunnel. It felt like being surrounded by an underwater paradise as colorful fish and majestic sea turtles swam gracefully above me. The immersive experience was truly unforgettable. The staff at Underwater World Pattaya were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about marine conservation. They were always ready to answer questions and provide interesting facts about the various species. It was evident that they genuinely cared about the well-being of the animals and the importance of educating visitors about marine ecosystems. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and conveniently organized. The signage and information boards were clear and informative, enhancing the educational aspect of the visit. There were also interactive exhibits and feeding sessions that added an extra layer of excitement to the experience. Whether you're a marine enthusiast, a family with kids, or simply looking for a unique and awe-inspiring experience, I highly recommend visiting Underwater World Pattaya. It's a fantastic place to learn, appreciate the beauty of marine life, and gain a deeper understanding of our oceans. My visit to Underwater World Pattaya left me with lasting memories and a renewed appreciation for the incredible biodiversity that exists beneath the waves. It's an absolute gem of an attraction and definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Pattaya.

Visiting Underwater World in Pattaya, Thailand, was an experience that left me both enchanted and reflective. This modern aquarium, nestled along Sukhumvit Road, promises a glimpse into the ocean’s depths, and it delivers—especially through its captivating fish feeding live shows, which are the undeniable highlight of the trip. The feeding shows are a meticulously timed spectacle, drawing crowds to witness the underwater ballet of marine life. At the Coral Reef Zone (10:30 AM and 3:00 PM), I watched divers hand-feed vibrant schools of fish darting among colorful corals. The precision and grace were mesmerizing, as the fish swarmed in a kaleidoscope of motion, their scales glinting under the aquarium lights. Next, the Open Ocean Zone (11:00 AM and 4:00 PM) showcased the raw power of sharks and manta rays. Seeing a diver calmly offer food to these majestic predators through the 100-meter acrylic tunnel felt surreal—sharks gliding overhead, jaws opening with calculated ease, while rays flapped like underwater birds. The Giant of Siam Zone (11:30 AM and 3:30 PM) added a local twist, with massive freshwater fish like the arapaima gulping down their meals amid a shipwreck-themed tank. Each show lasted about 15-20 minutes, but the energy lingered, amplified by the staff’s educational commentary on marine behavior and conservation. Beyond the shows, the aquarium’s 5,000+ animals across zones like the Jellyfish and Touch Pool areas were impressive, though some tanks appeared cramped and murky, hinting at maintenance struggles. At 500 baht for foreigners (versus 250 for locals), it’s a bit steep for the hour-long visit, but the feeding shows alone justify the cost. They’re a thrilling blend of nature and theater—perfect for families or anyone curious about the sea. Despite some upkeep concerns, Underwater World’s live feeding events make it a standout in Pattaya’s crowded attraction scene.

**Review of Underwater World Pattaya** ⭐️⭐️ I recently visited Underwater World Pattaya, hoping for a vibrant and engaging experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling quite disappointed. Upon entering, I was expecting the immersive underwater atmosphere that the name promises. However, I was struck by the complete lack of the robust, salty smell of the ocean that typically envelops such attractions. Instead, there was an odd, stale scent throughout the facility that detracted from the experience. It felt more like an aquarium exhibit than a journey into an underwater world. As for the marine life, I was genuinely surprised by the lack of colorful fish in the tanks. I had anticipated a dazzling display of biodiversity, but many of the tanks appeared sparse and uninspiring. The few fish that were present seemed dull and unremarkable, lacking the vibrant colors and lively movements that one might expect in a venue dedicated to oceanic life. It was disheartening to see so few species represented, and the overall atmosphere felt rather subdued. Furthermore, some of the tanks were not well-maintained. A few appeared cloudy, which only amplified the lack of vibrancy in the exhibits. The overall layout of the underwater tunnels and tanks also felt somewhat cramped, making it difficult to fully appreciate the few fish that were present. In summary, while Underwater World Pattaya has potential, it fell short of my expectations for an underwater adventure. It’s in dire need of improvements in both the sensory experience and the diversity of marine life showcased. I would recommend seeking out alternative attractions in Pattaya that offer a more authentic and colorful encounter with marine life.

Underwater World Pattaya is home to marine life from the Gulf of Thailand, including colorful coral and sea animals. Not only is a place to enjoy at your leisure time, this aquarium in Pattaya is also a sea life learning center, a great choice for a family trip. Get a fascinating experience of an underwater world by walking though the 105-meter long glass tunnel with sea fish and other marine species gliding above you. The exhibition is divided into the following zones: Coral Zone: Watch rare beautiful sea fish swimming through vivid coral reefs. Shark and Ray Zone: See sharks, rays, and other big marine life. Visitors can also dive in the tank with a diving instructor to get a close up experience with the fish or watch how the fish is fed by the staff, with five feeding times a day. Giant of Siam Zone: Observe an artificial ship wreck which is a shelter for marine animals and see rare freshwater fish and economic fish of Thailand. Jellyfish Zone: The biggest collection of jellyfish species in Thailand. Reptile Zone: Watch a great variety of reptile species from all over the world. Other interesting activities include seeing an amazing anti-gravity fish tank, feeding carp and sea turtles, watching an otter show (four times a day), and shopping for souvenirs. When thinking of things to do in Pattaya, don’t forget Underwater World Pattaya!

Underwater World Pattaya - это океанариум в Паттайе. Его стоит посетить, если вы не равнодушны к красотам подводного мира и морским обитателям. Океанариум впервые распахнул свои двери для гостей в 2003 году. В нём проживает более 2500 представителей морской фауны (200 видов), обитающих в Южно-Китайском море, Сиамском заливе и завезённых из-за границы. Однако он может не произвести должного впечатления на тех, кому довелось посещать другие подобные места (например, в Бангкоке). Неискушённым же путешественникам гарантированы новые впечатления и яркие эмоции. Отдыхающим с детьми рекомендуем обязательно посетить. Что интересного можно увидеть 1) Специальный мелководный бассейн Touch pool. Бассейн расположен на входе в океанариум, здесь можно посмотреть и даже потрогать руками безопасных обитателей подводного мира. Морские звезды, голубые скаты, огромные черепахи, кошачьи акулы, множество ярких рыбёшек, кораллы, водоросли – со всеми жителями бассейна можно познакомиться поближе и пообщаться. Очень мило и необычно! Единственное ограничение – доставать из воды никого нельзя. Бассейн на входе 2) Красивый водопад с ярко-оранжевыми карпами. Их очень много, и они совсем ручные. За небольшую плату (20 бат) карпов можно собственноручно покормить из бутылочки с соской. Очень интересный и забавный аттракцион – жадные рыбки изо всех сил стараются выхватить лакомство из рук. Возле карпов царит оживление и смех: брызги летят в разные стороны, детишки – в восторге, взрослые радуются ничуть не меньше. 3) Вольер с выдрами. Забавные водоплавающие зверьки – полноправные обитатели. Несколько раз в день в Океанариуме проходит шоу с выдрами. 4) Аквариумы. Большие аквариумы в с морскими коньками, лобстерами, муренами, черепахами, мелкими красочными экзотическими рыбками. Подводный туннель Океанариум - это, в первую очередь, подводный туннель длиной чуть более 100 метров. Он изготовлен из толстого (6,5 см) и прозрачного стекла. Прогуливаясь по извилистому туннелю, туристы могут ощутить себя на морском дне. Вокруг посетителей вовсю кипит подводная жизнь: рыбы спешат по делам, иногда удостаивая своим вниманием. Они проплывают совсем рядом, с обеих сторон и сверху, отделяемые от любопытных гостей лишь стеклом. Туннель в океанариуме в Паттайе Весь туннель разделён на зоны: 1) Зона рифов. Здесь, среди коралловых рифов причудливых форм, обитают красивые экзотические, яркие рыбки (среди них – рыба-бабочка, рыба-клоун, рыба-ангел). Царит умиротворение и спокойствие. И сразу вспоминается известный мультфильм «В поисках Немо» - ощущение, что его снимали где-то поблизости. 2) Зона хрящевых рыб. Огромные свирепые акулы и машущие плавниками, словно крыльями, скаты – самые яркие представители этой зоны. Опасных хищников можно в подро Часы работы Океанариума – 9-18 часов. Билетная касса закрывается в 17 часов. В 17:30 – самый поздний вход. Кормление крупных рыб, на которое по возможности стоит попасть – в 11:00, 11:30 и 15:30, 16:00. Время кормления обитателей Океанариума В Океанариум рекомендуем отправляться в будни – в выходные дни там значительно больше посетителей. Самостоятельный визит вряд ли даст возможность существенно сэкономить (разве что тем туристам, отели которых находятся поблизости), но позволит пробыть здесь ровно столько, сколько захочется. При этом у вас получится осмотреть «Подводный мир Паттайи» более основательно, не торопясь, сделать красивые фото- и видеозаписи. На выходе расположен магазин сувениров, где можно приобрести симпатичные вещицы морской тематики. Стоимость билетов в Океанариум Паттайи в кассах на входе: 500 бат - взрослый, 300 бат - детский. бесплатно - малыши ростом до 90 см. Билеты со скидками можно купить здесь. Также в Океанариум можно отправиться с экскурсией, которая кроме входных билетов включает трансфер. В среднем цена в уличном турагентстве - 700 бат для взрослого и 500 бат для детей

First off, if you're a resident and have proof (e.g. driving licence, school ID (for kids)) take it as this halves the price, which really isn't cheap for this part of Thailand and what's on offer. The aquariums all seem clean and the animals in good condition but there isn't a lot of information in English (which is fine, names, both English and scientific is adequate). The standout feature for me was the hands on tank so you can touch some of the animals. As with a lot of these places there are pay for extras that vary in their worthiness. 60 baht to feed the turtles, 50 baht to feed the fish, 100-400 baht to have your photograph taken with a snake, etc. All this you can choose to do or not and the cheaper items seem to be genuinely worthwhile. There are three walk through tunnels with different fish in each and these did impress me. You have a great opportunity for photographs. The downside was the staff who keep on taking your picture even when you ask them not to. They are trying to sell you the pictures at the end but it's more than a little annoying. Also, if you've been to Rayong aquarium you'll be astonished at the price mark up with so little that's any better. It is a good enough aquarium but the experience is marred by the staff and the price.
