Surprising good and enjoyable, ended up spending more than 2 hours in there. There are huge carps and sturgeon in there along with some prairie dogs, beaver, crocodile and turtle/tortoise.

If I only have one word to describe this aquarium, it is, unbelievable!

I've visited a lot of aquariums in a lot of different places but never been to one quite like the Coex. This aquarium is just very well maintained, clean, huge (for being an aquarium inside the mall), has loads of different breeds fishes, has a lot, I mean A LOT of sharks, and it's actually quite easy to find once your inside the mall already.

The moment you enter, you are already welcomed with real fishes and aquariums above your head, a very good touch!!

I've been telling my friends to visit this aquarium if they can as it's properly impressive!

Probably one of the best aquariums we have been too. We didn’t have much expectation since it’s inside a mall but it was really awesome. There were so much sharks too. Lol.

Great aquarium with a huge range of animals and even some Lego. However they lose a star as (like so many places in Korea) they don't accept cash which can make it tricky for some foreigners.
Though if you have an Asiana boarding pass, you get 30% off the ticket price.

It's a really nice Aquarium. Not too big, not too small either. Plenty of sea life to see. The beluga is the highlight, definitely spend some time there, if it's playing hide and seek, wait for it on the benches. The aquarium consists of a couple of floors, so be mindful of that. We spent on average a couple of minutes per tank and it took us about 1:30 hours to go through it all.

Very good spot to go to with little kids. A lot of sea creatures inside. We love the sharks the seals and the penguins. And theres a lot more. You will spend a good 2 hrs or more inside. My boys had a lot of fun.

Very nice aquarium that's a lot bigger then expected.

There were a variety of different aquatic creatures. I recommend going during the week days so you can see the penguins and otters.

There is a very big emphasis on it being a children's attraction so bear that in mind.

Wow. This was such a great aquarium. Clean and not stuffy and humid like most I’ve been to. Even all the little creatures seemed so happy and lively!!
