Underwater World Pattaya is a popular marine-themed aquarium that offers visitors an immersive experience into the fascinating underwater world of Thailand and beyond. It showcases a diverse range of marine life and aquatic ecosystems, providing both entertainment and education. The aquarium is designed with interactive exhibits, feeding shows, and walk-through tunnels that allow guests to get up close and personal with a wide variety of sea creatures.
Enjoy the live feeding shows and watch real-time action as you progress down the 100-metre acrylic tunnel, with all the brilliantly coloured creatures plying the waters above and all around you. Discover the riches of the world’s deep ocean, and you will be amazed at how much you learn in one entertaining hour.
Underwater World features some 2,500 marine animals, comprising more than 200 species from the region as well as overseas, including sharks, sea otters, stingray and rare shovelnose ray – a hybrid between a shark and stingray. The journey begins at the ‘Touch Pool’, where you can feel the skin of bamboo sharks, sea cucumbers, turtles, blue-spotted stingrays, starfish and lobsters.
The reef tank showcases colourful reefs, corals and the symbiosis of undersea plants, anemones and fish. From here, the underground water tunnel opens into the depths of the marine world. Meet the sharks, stingrays, hovelnose rays, giant groupers and a host of predators and prays that inhabit the ocean’s depths. The Ship Wreck Tank at the end of the tunnel houses a collection of fish found just off Pattaya’s shores.
Apart from the aquarium section, the live feeding shows are great fun, especially for children. The shark and ray feeding draws the biggest crowd, so does the otter tank. Check the feeding schedule if you don’t want to miss out on the fun.
Visiting Underwater World Pattaya is a journey into the beauty and mystery of the ocean, offering a fascinating glimpse into marine life that you might not otherwise encounter. It’s an ideal destination for families, marine life enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning more about the aquatic world. The interactive elements, coupled with the variety of marine zones and stunning walk-through tunnel, make it one of Pattaya’s most popular attractions.
