Traveler reviews
A&J Chua
★★★★★2 months agoLotte Aquarium was an awesome experience. I especially loved the interactive feeding activity, where visitors can feed some of the fish using capsule food purchased from the machines. There were many fascinating marine creatures to explore, and the exhibits were well-maintained and engaging. It is a great place to spend quality time with family and create wonderful memories. Highly recommended! 🐠🐟👍

★★★★★7 months agoThe aquarium is beautifully designed, offering a wide variety of marine life from all over the world. The tanks are spacious and well-maintained, giving visitors a clear view of the animals in their natural-like habitats. The educational displays were informative and easy to understand, making it a great place for both kids and adults. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. One thing to note is that weekends can get crowded, so visiting on a weekday might be better for a more peaceful experience. The ticket price is reasonable considering the quality and size of the aquarium.
