☆LOTS TO SEE BUT LITTLE TO DO: piscophiles, mermaids, and wannabe marine biologists will enjoy this peaceful underwater world, but adrenaline junkies should pass and head up to the parasailing at the head of Danyang Valley.☆ 10 thousand won for adults, 7 for youth/teen, 5 for child. This aquarium is mostly stocked with Korean and Asian varieties of fish, a small reptile display, and bonus chipmunk tube and otter pond. Well signed in Korean and English. Huge central tank with plenty of viewing spots and the de rigeur walk through tube so you can be underwater with the sharks. A fish petting pool has handwash stations and a dryer, considerately. Piranhas up close, polka dot sting rays, the huge 'dragon turtle' and the giant *Arapaima gigas* were highlights for my teen. The fishing exhibits and vintage fishing gear, rods, reels, hooks, and tied flies may seem a little out of place unless you are familiar with the national passion for angling. If you get enjoyment out of watching beautiful fish in immaculately maintained and designed tanks, absolutely go for it! If you have small ones who need to be entertained with activities, shows, and interactive displays, give it a miss. Parents, also be aware that there is no gift shop, or food/drink concessions: a coin operated dispenser at the very end of the tour offers 10 thousand won plushie fish, bunnies, chipmunks, etc. and 2 buck keyrings.

We came here only because it was raining, but we actually had a pretty great time. The gift shop was cute and there was a cool cleaning robot at the entrance. Although it was an aquarium, there were chipmunks, which were SOOOO cute! The otters were also soo adorable!

The aquarium primarily features freshwater fish endemic to Korea, but it was great to see a variety of other fish, including species from the Amazon and Mekong river basins, as well as endangered and albino species rarely seen in the wild. …
