It was a really great aquarium and conveniently located by the beach (walking distance from subway station too). I enjoyed the visit and money was well spent but I do think families with children will enjoy it even more. More

This is not an aquarium by international standards. It is small with very few attractions. A big disappointment. More

However, I found myself bored pretty much up until the shark tank. During peak times during the weekends, it gets pretty pack and this can be a... More

It's very small compared to other aquariums I've visited. When all else fails and you're really bored then stop by. More

It is claimed to be the biggest aquarium in korea. However, I am seriously not impressed. It is rather small and the entrance tix is quite pricy. 35000 won per pax More

It cost KRW20,000 per pax and I think the fishes there are disappointment. Not a very big range of collection. Recommended to visit the aquarium in the day as there will be more shows and events happening. More

Busan has so many attraction. It will take a weeks time to enjoy it completely. We went for a 3 day trip starting from Suwon. Busan is well connected to Seoul with high-speed train called KTX in Korea. Frequency is every 15-20 minutes from Seoul. Busan Aquarium is situated at Hongede beach. You can take either City Tour bus starting... More
