What it is
Aquaria Phuket is the biggest oceanarium in Thailand, occupying the entire basement level (B1) of Central Phuket Floresta mall in the Wichit district. The attraction spans 10,000 square meters and houses more than 6,000 creatures across roughly 300 species — from giant Mekong River fish and reef sharks to Humboldt penguins and giant turtles. Nine themed zones take visitors on a journey inspired by Thai mythology and Southeast Asian ecosystems: Mystic Forest (Mekong freshwater giants), Coastal Haven (penguins and otters), Ray Bay (interactive stingray feeding), the USS Lagarto WWII submarine wreck display, and the flagship South China Sea zone with the largest saltwater tank in Thailand. Live feeding shows for sharks, rays, penguins, and otters run multiple times daily, and a signature Mermaid Show — featuring performers diving without breathing gear — plays twice a day. Because it's fully indoors and air-conditioned, Aquaria Phuket is an excellent option on rainy or hot afternoons.
Highlights
- 40-meter underwater tunnel (South China Sea zone): walk through a curved acrylic tunnel as reef sharks, giant stingrays, and tropical fish glide directly overhead — the centerpiece of the visit.
- South China Sea tank: Thailand's largest saltwater tank, reportedly holding around 3.5 million liters of water and hosting over 100,000 marine creatures including multiple shark species and large rays.
- Mystic Forest zone: showcases freshwater giants of the Mekong River — arapaima, Mekong giant catfish, and gourami — displayed in a richly planted freshwater tank, with reptiles and jungle insects on the upper level.
- Coastal Haven with Humboldt penguins and otters: watch Humboldt penguins queue to dive and Asian small-clawed otters perform during feeding sessions; both species are crowd favorites for kids.
- Ray Bay interactive feeding: visitors can pay a small fee to hand-feed stingrays directly from the tank edge — one of the few hands-on animal encounters in the aquarium.
- Daily Mermaid Show: professional performers dive into the South China Sea tank without scuba equipment and interact with fish and rays — typically staged twice a day at around 11:00 and 15:00 (schedule may vary).
Good to know
- Typical visit duration is 1.5 to 2 hours; families with young children who want to catch all feeding shows and the Mermaid Show should budget around 2 to 2.5 hours.
Frequently asked
- What is included in the standard Aquaria Phuket ticket?
- The standard ticket covers full access to all 9 themed zones, the 40-meter underwater tunnel, the South China Sea tank, and all daily feeding and show sessions including the Mermaid Show. A combo ticket is also available that adds entry to the 3D AR Trick Eye Museum on the same floor.
- How long does a visit to Aquaria Phuket take?
- Most visitors spend around 1.5 to 2 hours. If you want to catch the Mermaid Show (held twice daily, typically around 11:00 and 15:00), the penguin and otter feedings, and the shark and ray feeds, plan for closer to 2 to 2.5 hours. Re-entry is not usually allowed, so time your arrival accordingly.
- How do I get to Aquaria Phuket from the main beach areas?
- Aquaria Phuket is located on the B1 floor of Central Phuket Floresta mall at 199 Moo 4, Wichit — roughly 20 to 30 minutes by taxi or Grab from beaches like Patong, Kata, or Karon. There is no dedicated hotel shuttle, so rideshare apps or negotiated taxis are the most convenient options.
