What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
Really fascinating place, well worth a visit!
It has a rich collection and detailed information about the local sea flora, which is presented in an engaging and entertaining way. The large fish tanks really are impressive! 🐠🦈🐡
Great for adults and kids alike!
Very crowded even on weekday (mon). Huge parking complex with clear direction, both signposts and human operators. It’s a spectacular aquarium! However it’s sad to see the shark whale and others swimming within such a tiny space. Kudos to these creatures sacrifice their freedom to human for their research and entertainment.
She put efficient super clean very nice vibe full of tourists people from everywhere in the world.
High light was watching the whale get fed very cool.
The shark area was also super cool .
It was a really nice facility! It had multiple levels, but less exhibits than I thought. Unfortunately, it was so crowded that I couldn’t enjoy the museum very much.
However, there was a little beach outside that was fantastic! You’re not allowed to swim, but there’s a shady place to watch the waves and hunt for shells. It was a great little break from the heat and crowds.
Be sure to try the Churaumi sodas in blue and pink! And the gift shop was really, really crowded, so factor that in for time.
The Okinawa Aquarium is an absolute gem and a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Okinawa. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with stunning views of marine life that leave you in awe. The exhibits are meticulously designed, showcasing a vast array of sea creatures in their natural habitats. The centerpiece, the Kuroshio Sea tank, is particularly breathtaking, featuring majestic whale sharks and graceful manta rays that glide effortlessly through the water. The aquarium's dedication to marine conservation and education is evident throughout, making it both a beautiful and informative experience. The serene ambiance, coupled with the mesmerizing displays, creates an unforgettable visit. I highly recommend the Okinawa Aquarium to anyone looking to experience the wonders of the ocean up close.
