This postal service nearly Phuket Aquarium was kickoff written inwards 2009. Now updated inwards July 2012 alongside novel photos as well as information.
I never seem to tire of the Phuket Aquarium fifty-fifty after (about) xx visits over the years, perchance more. We went the kickoff fourth dimension inwards 2001 when our fille was a few months onetime as well as loved her reactions to the fish. We took her over again a few months after as well as noticed how, every bit an older infant she paid to a greater extent than attending to the marine life. As she got older, dissimilar things fascinated her, as well as i time she could begin shout out for questions, good as well as therefore Dad the Diver could begin explaining all kinds of interesting fishy facts! It's been the same alongside our boy who is forthwith seven years old. They ever stimulate got novel questions as well as it's ever fun to see the aquarium alongside them.
(above) Our kids impressed yesteryear a giant Arapaima, i of the largest freshwater fish inwards the world. There are ever changes at the aquarium, each fourth dimension nosotros see there's some novel marine life to see.
Phuket Aquarium is located at the terminate of Cape Panwa, to the SE of Phuket Town. I similar the expanse a lot, i of our favourite restaurants is inwards the Panwa area, as well as there's some lovely scenery, especially if yous plough off the principal route downward to the aquarium as well as stimulate got the smaller route along the due west side of the cape alongside views across Chalong Bay. On the agency yous also overstep the plough off to Khao Kad viewpoint. Here's a sentiment from exterior the aquarium:
The entry fee is non high, simply 100 Baht for adults, 50 Baht for kids.. as well as yep it's a combat cheaper for "us locals", but non a rip off anyway. It's non a huge aquarium, but has expanded fiddling yesteryear fiddling over the years as well as in that location are plans for more. In the kickoff room yesteryear the entrance are many pocket-size tanks, alongside all form of fish.
There's all kinds of species from moray eels to lionfish to angelfish, batfish, lobsters, razor shrimpfish .. most are local species establish inwards Thailand. Also some oddities similar electrical eels. These are all inwards the smaller tanks. Also around the walls are educational displays nearly marine life as well as environmental awareness.
The walkthrough tunnel (above) was non in that location when nosotros kickoff visited, it alone opened inwards 2005. Not a huge tunnel to last sure, but still, in that location are some fiddling sharks inwards in that location - blacktip as well as leopard sharks, jacks, a large Napoleon wrasse, stingrays as well as more. Always a striking alongside the kids! And alongside me!
The kickoff video higher upwardly shows a leopard shark swimming around the large tank, viewed from within the walkthrough tunnel. The minute video shows our kids checking out the fish from the exterior of the large tank. "Ooh, await at that!", says my son. Always something to learn, something novel to see. And here's the same fiddling man child from a twosome of years agone existence shown something yesteryear his Grandma ...
There's some other pretty large tank that contains several huge groupers. And enough of pocket-size tanks containing such fiddling beauties every bit shrimps or seahorses. I dearest seahorses. Beautiful fiddling things. Please don't consume them.
When yous travel out the indoor department of Phuket aquarium, you'll detect a fiddling snack as well as sip store as well as a souvenir store - some of the items for sale are tacky, some are pretty nice. The Aquarium as well as attached marine biological pump produce skilful work, as well as alongside the entry fee existence low, a pocket-size buy is helpful.
You'll meet some steps nigh the store heading to a nature trail which leads yous along the coastline for a twosome of hundred meters. There are lots of signs explaining flora as well as beast names as well as alongside environmental information. Further on yous overstep a fiddling boat that the kids ever halt to play on, as well as therefore a long jetty which leads out to several boats including a enquiry vessel which is oft moored there. There's a pocket-size kids playground too.
The aquarium is to a greater extent than than simply a show, in that location is also a marine biological pump hither alongside an endangered species unit.. as well as my favourite business office - the turtles! Here at the aquarium turtles are bred/reared as well as also injured turtles are looked after. We sometimes meet large turtles alongside bits of flipper missing or chunks missing from their shells, no doubtfulness every bit a number of contact alongside a boat. I dearest turtles :)
