About 10 km from the city centre, the Phuket Aquarium is a good place for families with children and anyone interested in nature.
It is part of a marine research centre, and you can see many species of fish and other creatures from the seabed, and learn about them and how we affect the environment.
More about Phuket Aquarium
The Phuket Aquarium is part of the Phuket Marine Biological Centre, which works to protect the animals that live in the sea. Here, children and adults can discover many species of fish as they stroll past the 30 tanks, and especially through the tunnel, where you are surrounded by rays, tropical fish and other sea creatures.
The aquarium is on the coast, not far from the town centre, and you can reach it by taxi or by songthaew, the shared pick-up buses of Thailand.
Check current opening times before you go.
