Ingresso do Aquário Kaiyukan de Osaka

Awesome experience, went at 5pm and it wasnt too busy. Some exhibits were quite dark and i think it was to help the animals adjust to the time so people going later should be understanding of that, instead of using flash for photographs, etc. awesome set up of the aquarium where you are slowly brought deeper and deeper into the building, representing the depth at which the marine animals live at. Theres also a cafe mid way through the exhibit who do cute icecreams, icecream floats, ginormous hot dogs and whale latte art. Lots of areas to take a break and use the rest room throughout the exhibit. Also were coin lockers available at the start

Enjoyed our visit at Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. The Aquarium is very clean and well-maintained. Tickets are easily redeemed. Definitely worth the visit!

You can directly purchase adult and child tickets on Klook, which is very convenient. You can use them immediately after purchase! The Kaiyukan Aquarium is a lot of fun; children can spend several hours there. The Kaiyukan has over 15 large tanks, each recreating a specific area of the Pacific Rim. The journey, which takes about 2.5 hours, follows a spiral ramp from the 8th floor down to the 4th, as if gradually entering the sea and seabed from land. You can also get up close and touch starfish and sea cucumbers! The children were very happy!

Osaka Port - Kaiyukan Aquarium There are often long queues to buy tickets on-site, so it's best to purchase them online in advance. However, you must enter within your designated time slot and cannot enter early. (Online tickets seem to be available from 3:00 PM onwards at the earliest.) This is more of a family-friendly marine aquarium. Aqua Gate - First, you pass through a circular domed tunnel, where you can greet large aquarium creatures. Then, you proceed to explore the aquarium according to geographical and ecological zones. Main Tank Area: Composed of forests, rainforests, land, islands, rivers/bays, ocean trenches, straits, and oceans, allowing you to admire various marine animals from multiple angles, from the surface downwards, and from shallow to deep waters. These include sea lions, penguin colonies, and a colorful array of fish. As you walk downwards, follow the tanks to discover other marine creatures: dolphins, manta rays, whale sharks, ocean sunfish, and sea turtles. Special Exhibition Tank - On the other side, special tanks feature different types of squid and octopuses. Jellyfish Galaxy - Jellyfish Exhibition Area: Displays various species of jellyfish. Arctic Zone - Exhibits cold-climate creatures and fish, and I even re-encountered the sea angels I had seen in Hokkaido before. Special Theme Exhibition (Naturally Adorable) - A very suitable area for children to interact, including clownfish, splendid garden eels, and red shrimp. Little Penguin Zone - This is the final exhibition area, separated by a glass barrier. It's rare to see so many little penguins indoors. Gift Shop - Located next to the penguin zone, it offers some ornaments, clothing, and souvenirs for purchase. As the Osaka Port area has a shopping mall and Kaiyukan Aquarium, you can also use the "Osaka Amazing Pass" according to your preferences to enjoy free admission to attractions like the Santa Maria sightseeing cruise, Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel, and the Classic Car Museum.
