Located in Phuket's Wichit district, this massive aquatic centre houses everything from playful penguins and curious otters to graceful stingrays and sharks in its impressive 3.5-million-litre South China Sea exhibit.
Your visit takes you through thoughtfully designed zones that recreate different aquatic environments. The Mystic Forest welcomes you with lush rainforest surroundings where otters splash about and turtles bask. Coastal Haven offers hands-on experiences with touch pools where you can gently handle horseshoe crabs and sea cucumbers.
