What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
The aquarium is well-designed and highly informative, showcasing a wide variety of unique Okinawan marine life. It features species-specific research, with a strong focus on sharks—especially whale sharks. Most displays had English translations, though a few were missing. We visited on a Friday, and it was fairly crowded. Overall, it’s a great activity for families and children as well.
Must go when you are in Okinawa! Both adult and children will love this place.
Dolphin show is nice with only particular timing available.
Able to purchase tickets on the spot.
Take about 2 hours to view this whole aquarium.
A huge complex for fun and to learn something about nature, not only for children, but also for adults. Aquarium well maintained with lots of fish species, information available in English. If you get tired of the fish you can go turtle watching, dolphin feeding or a dolphin show. Within the complex there is also a beach, a space for a walk, a botanical garden, a planetarium, an Okinawan museum. I recommend everyone to book at least one full day.
This was a spectacular attraction! Definitely worth the time and cost. The whole family enjoyed the visit. The view on the way to the sea turtles is beautiful. As a bonus, the walkways are nicely decorated with flowers and statues. Our visit was mid March and the crowd wasn't too bad at all. I bought the ticket on site.
Amazing aquarium. Came here to celebrate my birthday. And absolutely loved it here. Seeing the whale shark was just breathtaking. Had food at the cafe too, got a table by the window so was able to see the fish swim by which was nice. A lot to see there. Dolphins, turtles, manatees sting rays, sharks etc. had a nice souvenir shop too. Can leave and enter as many times too which was good
