★★★★★3 months agoSingapore Oceanarium was a really well put together experience. The exhibits are beautifully designed, with a wide variety of marine life and large viewing panels that make the underwater world feel very immersive. The flow through the different zones is smooth, and there’s a good balance of education and visual impact. The visit took around 3 hours. Overall, enjoyable experience — one of the best I had. Worth going at least once.

★★★★★6 months agoVery fun and informative. There were interactive stations scattered throughout the journey, which was engaging and fun. Luckily, it wasn't very crowded when I visited and I got to take a lot of photos of the fish. Some fish were hard to take photos of, and others were easy to take photos of. I'm quite happy with my photos. There were also toilets and water fountains at frequent intervals. The food is expansive, but pretty alright. I loved sitting down and watching the fish swim at the big tank, the music and atmosphere were very relaxing. The sharks were very chill.
