Poor. 195TL on Turkish site and 500TL on English version. I purchased on the Turkish page. Small with poor exhibits. Took 30 mins to go round. Lots of empty tanks. Save your money.

Disappointing!!! Important spots with sharks and aquariums with large fish were closed. However, they charged us the full price of the tickets. Very ugly !!! Not worth it !!! compared to Turkish tourists, they paid for tickets at less than half the price! Shame!!!

Easy to move around. Lots of species to observe (despite having biggest tanks unavailable due to maintenance). Child firendly. Staff are kind.

We have visited Sea life on August 10,2023 with my 3 kids aged 6,8 and 12.
We were disappointed since they couldn’t see sharks ( only one which doesn t live in seawater), no big sea turtle, no sea horses, no dolphin , they just saw fishes that could be found in any pet shop near your house.
It was over priced and the tour would be finished within 30 min maximum.
While leaving a review on site, with a sad face, their assistant ( who noticed the sad face and didn’t want me to proceed with my review)came and informed me that it s not working which was not true.

Nice place, we visited the othe Istanbul aquarium, and both are decent, though , this one looks newer & cleaner , with slight differences in sea creatures we saw, here there were an octopus & jellyfish which my children really liked .
Located in Forum Istanbul shopping mall , we grabbed a bite afterwards in one of the mall’s restaurants, then went for Lego Land discovery center & went shopping, so it was a full day well spent in Istanbul.

essential in istanbul, metro station in front. the animals are distributed by geographical area. beautiful Amazon area. the aquariums are very large, the animals have plenty of space. We had a very good afternoon.

This is located in the Forum Shopping Mall.
It is very small compared to the Istanbul Aquarium. There is really nothing much to see. Can definitely skip this given what it has to offer.

This small aquarium was perfect for our 5 and 2 years old. We saw sea turtles, small sharks, many stingrays, jelly fish, and a variety of colorful smaller fish.
