アクアリウム Siam Paragon

4.5(108 reviews)

Occupying the first and second basement floors of the upscale Siam Paragon shopping complex, this sizeable aquarium houses an extensive range of marine species, including tropical fish, jellyfish, stingrays, and otters. Exhibits are well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels, offering an immersive underwater experience that appeals to families, couples, and solo travellers alike. Visitors can touch a starfish at no extra charge, and a boat ride through the facility comes particularly recommended by those who have made the trip. The aquarium is clean, family-friendly, and equipped with snack areas and dedicated spaces for children, making it well-suited for a half-day outing. Because it sits within a major shopping mall, visitors can easily extend their stay with access to restaurants, cafes, and retail outlets throughout Siam Paragon. Good to know: Ticket prices are notably high by international standards, with entry for two adults running around 3,850 baht, so budget accordingly before visiting. The entrance can be difficult to locate within the mall, so allow extra time to find it on arrival. Opening hours run from 10am to 8pm, and at least one and a half hours is recommended to cover the full exhibit. The aquarium connects directly to BTS Siam Station, making it straightforward to reach via Bangkok's Skytrain network. Weekday mornings tend to be quieter than weekends and public holidays.

We had a wonderful time! We loved everything. The aquarium is clean, there are snack areas, and areas for children to draw. They let you pet a starfish (free). The beautiful stingrays are so accustomed to people that if you lightly touch the glass with your fingers, they immediately swim up. There are also penguins. And all the major representatives of the underwater world. You can also swim with a shark using scuba gear. The cost is about $200. However, we didn't swim, so I can't comment on that. There's also a service where you can float in a glass-bottomed boat, so to speak, to experience the underwater world firsthand. All areas of the aquarium have excellent ventilation. Tickets can be purchased directly at the box office. Union Pay cards from Rosselkhozbank are accepted. At the entrance, they offer to take a photo, and upon exit, you can print and purchase it if you wish. Overall, I recommend it to everyone; you'll have the most pleasant experience. And after the aquarium, upstairs, there's an excellent food court where you can find good food (for any budget). Everything is clean and delicious.

It's located on the first and second basement floors of Siam Paragon, which is directly connected to BTS Siam Station. It's open from 10am to 8pm. If you have at least an hour and a half, you'll have plenty of time to explore! It's a good deal to purchase tickets in advance through Klook. If you've purchased tickets in advance, you can enter by redeeming the code and going directly to the entrance. Be careful, as they may occasionally check your passport. Don't be fooled by the fact that this aquarium is inside a building! It's quite large, with a wide variety of fish. I was able to see fish that I can't see in Japan. You can also take a glass-bottom boat tour of the giant aquarium, which costs 150 baht. Considering what a truly valuable experience it is, 150 baht is a bargain!!! LOL

Interesting, lots of fish, jellyfish, even an otter))) I liked it. I recommend taking the boat.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
