Also ride the Ferris WheelMy experience was on a Saturday with everyone else. The funniest part was the King Crab tank, where the Japanese man next to me said "oishii!!" which means "delicious". I get the feeling that some of the tanks are a bit small for the amount of marine life in there, but the sea otters and dolphins were enjoyable. When you ...9 of 9 Yahoo!

Great AquariumThe best one I have been to in my life. I have never seen a 20+ foot long whale shark anywhere else. There were lots of other impressive displays as well.6 of 6 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

This Place rocksThis "aquairum" is awesome! The place is huge, it has one huge tank in the middle of it, and you work your way from the top 'around' it all the way to the exit.
You start off by taking the longest and highest escelator I have ever been on!(I could barely see the bottom, when we got to the top) Sure the main attraction the whale ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
Good Recommendation by friends!My family visited the aquarium on 5 Dec 2006 and find the sea otters and penguins were lovable. For those who love marine life from all the world, this is THE place!

Fantastic aquariumI had just gotten back to Asia from a trip to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia (where I had visited the aquarium my friend works at - ReefHQ in Townsville) and was a little leary about visiting this aquarium. It was great though. There are so many great display tanks that have both English and Japanese signs and stories. Even though the ...2 of 2 Yahoo!

A Great Way to Spend the DayThe Osaka Aquarium is a great way to spend your time in Osaka. It's easy to get to and the admission price is pretty reasonable for Japan. There are several other sights worth seeing nearby and you can by tickets for them at the aquarium at a discount. This is recommended.
The Aquarium is pretty friendly to the English-speaking visitor. ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
Nice but not GreatWhen you enter, you go up an escalator to the top and then spiral your way down to see the exhibits. The walkway is a little narrow and got bottled up frequently.
In the center of the spiral is the main tank with the big fish with the rest of the exhibits in smaller tanks on the outside of the spiral.
The exterior of the building is very ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Avoiding the crowdsThis place is well worth a look, it is not everyday you can see a whale shark in a fish tank. There are may other species, giant trevally, groper, shsrks and a fiant manta ray. The exhibit also has other tanks with dolphins, sea otters (which are suprisingly large)and tropical exhibits. When we arrived the Emporer penguins were being displayed out ...1 of 1 Yahoo!

Exciting KaiyukanI was there on November 5, 2007. It was an awesome xperience for me as it was the first time I visited an aquarium of this kind. I loved the penguins, otters, jelly fish (which were very colourful) and the whale shark. I felt that the whale shark had very little space to move around and the view was a bit murky.
On the whole the aquarium was an exciting place to be. It is a must visit if you go to Osaka.1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
