A wonderful educational and entertainment center for both children and adults. There is a swimming pool with live penguins, almost all water areas are represented, you can admire the corals, colorful fish of the Red Sea, as well as the majestic inhabitants of the Mediterranean and Black Seas for a long time. Did you know that the Black Sea is called Karadeniz in Turkish?
It's a beautiful aquarium, not very big. The entire main place for moving fish and minnows is located in the very center, and visitors simply enter from one side or the other. The coolest thing is the balcony with access to the Marmara Sea! That's the real beauty! And funny little fish with the strange name Spotted garden eel)). The maze is complete nonsense..
But the ticket price for a Russian is 2700. Very and unreasonably expensive. It is twice cheaper for Turks.
We were the whole family. Very interesting. A must-visit. It is very large, there are many locations, the child is happy. I was very impressed by the rainforest. It is better to visit in the late afternoon so that later, at the exit from the shopping center towards the sea, you can enjoy the sunset.
It's a wonderful place!
I was most impressed by the Amazon forest area, a real jungle!
Interesting aquariums, it's great that along the route there is an opportunity to explore the water spaces at different levels.
I was amazed by the terrace overlooking the Marmara Sea! December, sun and sea! Fabulous ✨
A very beautiful place....interesting.... informative...a large area.....It is located in a shopping center and has access to the sea..you can see on the concert site and admire the sailboats....a delightful place..
A cool place to visit. The main thing is to try to find a day when there will be few children) we were so unlucky on our trip.
There is an interesting Tropic zone in the aquarium, where it is aphigenic)
It's not a bad aquarium, but I expected more from Istanbul. If children love fish, go here. There is a good shopping center nearby.
One of the disadvantages is difficult parking
A must-visit, a separate delight from the Amazon zone. The variety of animals is amazing, the aquariums are clean, the animals look healthy, there are many locations for beautiful photos. Tip: take a basic ticket, everything else is nonsense!!
Definitely not an ordinary tour. Be sure to visit and take photos. Take your time, go to a cafe - both adults and children will get guaranteed pleasure.
A separate work of art, I recommend you to visit. There are a lot of fish and marine life, beautifully done, interesting, there are places to relax with large aquarium frames and beautiful fish, I would sit for hours and watch.
June 2024 admission 900 lira adult, cheapest ticket
Of course, I expected a little more, but for a change, you can go. If with children, then I think they will really like it.
And yes, do not spend 80 lire on a mirror maze, it's better to eat durum on the pier for this money)
I really, really, really liked it! A huge territory, we happened to be there in the summer of 2020, during the pandemic, there were few visitors, we managed to explore everything. Expositions of fish and marine life from all parts of the world. We recommend you to visit, we dream of repeating it.
If you manage to approach the discovery, then you can enjoy watching the underwater world. Our Masha loves this place very much, we are happy to spend time with her there
It was beautiful, it was interesting to watch the fish, sharks and rays. You can sit down and watch the fish, it is forbidden to shoot with a flash, because of this, photos are obtained in poor quality, there are toilets and an "elevator" for disabled people and strollers for children, but sometimes they do not work. there are penguins, cafes and snack bars too. It's a bit expensive for foreigners. in the end, there is a souvenir shop after the aquarium. In general, I liked the aquarium, I recommend it.
We visited the aquarium for the first time. It is fascinating, the large volume of the aquarium. Children and adults will like it. Fish, sharks, penguins, stingrays.
A very good aquarium, many different marine habitats. The child liked everything very much, but it is better to take a ticket without a helicopter and a mirror maze. It will be cheaper.
The underwater world of several seas and the Amazon is presented. Everything is done very efficiently and makes a strong impression. It is mandatory to watch with children!
11.12.23 The cost is 650 rubles per person, it's not worth the money and lost time at all,a bunch of small aquariums mostly built into walls and stained glass, as if they are not wiped at all, I was not impressed at all,the free aquarium in dubai mall looks a hundred times more spectacular!!!
They were at the end of August 2022. Of the advantages, we were there from the opening, we got to fish feeding, we were impressed. It's very atmospheric. Three steps from the subway.
One of the disadvantages is the price! For locals it is 144 lira, and for tourists it is already 350!!! The deeper you go, the more it stinks of rotten fish.... The echo from screaming children is simply unreal, which prevents you from standing up and admiring the underwater life. And yes, there are quite a lot of people.... Go once to check the box.
It's a great place I would love for every child to be able to visit and see, so the prices should be suitable for everyone, unfortunately a little too much
So-so, if there is something to compare it with, then there will be disappointment. I liked the penguins. They dived and swam, followed by air bubbles.
The aquarium is SUPER. I've been to many, but I was amazed by this.Everything is clear, even without knowing the language.

A very interesting place, a lot of beautiful fish and other marine life. I really liked the room with the jungle, it's just a pity that not all of these animals were there

Overall, I liked it. This is our first trip to the aquarium in principle. I was impressed by stingrays and sharks
It's a beautiful place. I am very glad that they do not keep large animals (dolphins, killer whales) here, which find it difficult to live outside nature.
For such money, it is not even worth walking At the time of visiting 500 liras.There's not much to see.It's clean, there are a lot of fish in the pictures and that's about it.It will be interesting only for small children
It's good with the children, we visited them for a reason.

To a greater extent, a family aquarium, a lot of children (very noisy).
A huge number of fish that are divided into seas and habitats from the Black Sea and forward to the ocean to the west. There is a lot of social orientation (do not throw garbage, take care of nature, penguins sent to the North Pole ... 0_o??)
Well, the main advantage of this place, in addition to seeing something other than the palaces of Istanbul, is of course sharks, huge stingrays, penguins and capybara (lonely)
It is beautiful, there are few fish, well-groomed, clean, but not impressed. They paid 350 lire for one. It's not worth your money, of course, it's enough to go once.
