Be warned, you can only walk one way through this aquarium, so see what you want to see before moving on. Nice aquarium, but I thought it was pretty pricey.

For the price it is an average to good visit, one of the better indoor things to do for young children (3-12years). Many small aquariums with small fishes that you see in all such similar places in the world. But there are some nice extra's:
Many aquariums are open, so you can touch the water and on ground level which...

The Aquarium is really average until you get to the end of your tour - in the basement. The moving walkaway with sharks swimming around you is really unique and nicely done. Also jellyfish display with colorful lights makes a memorable impression. Worth a visit, especially with the kids.
This aquarian ranks at or near the top of all I have visited. The most unforgettable rooms, in my opinion, was the one with the jellyfish, which was among the most moving artistic presentations I can recall outside an art gallery. In addition, the moving walkway under a tube with sharks, rays and other giant fish left me with my...

Hungry for fish (and chips)...then this is the place to be for a few hours. Upon paying an adult entrance fee of RMB190 (there are concession rates) and passing the entrance shops selling goods the aquarium is really an interesting few hours. Yes, it may not be as big as some in the world but we had fun. There is...

We apparently went on the worst day to go- a Thursday morning. About 20 school buses pulled up right after we bought our tickets. With the big crowds, it was stressful and rooms at the beginning were awkward, so people crammed in and just kind of lingered. The flow was bad, I guess. BUT about half way through theres an...

Nice but not cheap visit to do with kids, some aquariums in the region might be better (Taiwan, KL) but there is enough to see for kids to enjoy and it's a nice break from the concrete jungle for them. More English descriptions/explanations would have been nice.
Claims to be the biggest in the region. It is indeed nice, but pretty expensive with a family, perhaps therefore also not so busy. After 2 hours we were out again. I believe the one in Kenting in Taiwan is bigger.
Hypocamps, pinguins, sharks, gellyfish... They re all here!
It´s a great place
Kids love it and adults too
It´s a bit expensive but really really worth it
A great place
Be careful when going with your kids that the exit is in the souvenir shop, full of cute stuffed animals. When I go with mine, I always warn them in...

Recently took my son and one of his friends on a play date here. It was perfect for that type of thing. Took us about two hours to go through the entire thing. I found the aquarium to be above expected China standards. It was clean, the aquatic life looked healthy. As we were going through the moving walkway part...
