Phuket

Phuket’s premier aquarium, hidden beneath a shopping hub, is a cool world of ocean wonders. It’s the largest in Thailand, offering family fun and a gentle touch of marine education.<br/>
Cool, dim galleries bathed in blue light surround you, with sharks and rays gliding silently behind the glass. Children gasp and point as soft music and the gentle gurgle of water create a calm, underwater escape.<br/>
- Thailand’s largest aquarium (top-ranked nationwide)
- Rated 4.4★ by over 3,000 visitors
- Families praise the interactive shows and clean, spacious exhibits

Did You Know?

Explore Deeper

Andasi Underwater Restaurant: For a truly special meal, this fine-dining restaurant inside Aquaria lets you dine with views into the main tank (advance reservation recommended for this unique experience).

Central Phuket Food Hall: Just upstairs in the mall, you’ll find an extensive food court and cafes – perfect for grabbing local Thai dishes, coffee, or desserts once you finish your aquarium tour.

Food & Coffee Shops

Best Time: Weekday mornings right after opening (11 AM) are quietest – you’ll encounter fewer tour groups and can get unobstructed views of exhibits.

Hack: Book your tickets online or via a travel app beforehand. Online prices are often cheaper than buying at the door, and you can sometimes find family bundles or discounts.

Hidden Gem: Don’t skip the Station Aquarius zone at the end – there’s an interactive touch pool where kids (and adults) can gently hold starfish and sea cucumbers. It’s not obvious at first, but it’s a highlight for many families.

Optional tip: The aquarium is kept quite cool to comfort the animals, so bring a light sweater if you tend to get chilly. It makes your visit more comfortable, especially for young children.

Insider Tips

Internal Navigation

Know Before You Go

- Aquaria is located on the B1 basement level of Central Phuket Floresta mall. It’s about a 10-minute drive from Phuket Old Town; taxis or Grab cars are the easiest way to get there.
- If you’re driving, use the Central Phuket parking garage (free parking). Once inside the mall, take the elevator or escalator down to the basement (B1) and follow signs for Aquaria Phuket.
- The entrance to Aquaria is within the mall, near the food court area on the ground floor of Floresta. Look for the aquarium’s ticket counter and a giant manta ray statue marking the entry. Show your tickets at the gate to enter the aquarium exhibits.

Getting There & Entrances

- Washrooms/lockers/ATMs/cafés: Restrooms are available at the aquarium entrance and inside. No dedicated lockers inside (as it’s within a mall), but the environment is secure. A small café inside offers drinks and snacks, and the mall’s large food court and ATMs are just upstairs.
- Baby care/prayer/relaxation: Strollers are welcome and elevators connect all levels, making it easy for those with wheelchairs or strollers. Parents can find baby changing facilities in the mall’s restrooms nearby. There isn’t a specific prayer room in the aquarium, but the mall complex may have one in another section if needed.
- Notable missing or unexpected amenities: The aquarium is entirely indoors and air-conditioned, which is great on a hot or rainy day. One thing to note is that there’s a gift shop at the exit, but no large dining facility inside – plan to eat at the mall’s restaurants after your visit.

What it is

Once You Reach

Persona Fit

Flash photography is prohibited (to protect the creatures), so use your camera’s Night Mode or a high ISO setting for clearer images in low light.

To avoid reflections when photographing tanks, hold your camera or phone lens directly against the glass. This gives you a clear shot of the fish without catching glare from the lights or other visitors.

In the underwater tunnel, try shooting from a low angle aiming up, to capture silhouettes of sharks and rays swimming overhead – it creates a dramatic effect.

Be patient for the perfect shot: wait a moment for fast-moving fish to swim closer or for crowds to move on. The exhibits like the jellyfish and coral reefs are great for vibrant photos if you steady your hand.

Photography Tips

Most visitors spend about 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the aquarium. This gives you time to watch a feeding show or two and stroll through all the zones without rushing. If you also plan to visit the Trick Eye Museum (next door), add another hour — so roughly 3 hours total for both.

How much time should I allocate for Aquaria Phuket?

Yes, Aquaria hosts daily presentations like shark feedings, penguin feeding times, and diver shows. The exact schedule is posted at the entrance each day (for example, penguin feeding might be at 11:00 and 15:00). It’s a good idea to check the timings when you arrive so you can be at the right exhibit a few minutes beforehand for a good view.

Are there daily feeding shows or presentations at the aquarium?

Pro Tips

Phuket Trick Eye Museum — An interactive 3D art gallery located next to the aquarium (in the same mall complex), where you can take fun illusion photos – a great add-on with kids.

Phuket Old Town — A short drive away, explore the charming Old Town’s Sino-Portuguese architecture, street murals, and night market food. It’s an ideal cultural stroll after an afternoon at the aquarium.
