It is a fun experience for both adults and children to see the many species of colourful fish and corals housed in the fish tanks and to walk through the over 100 metre long glass tunnel through the aquarium. This is a chance to get very close to marine animals like sharks, stingrays and many species of colourful tropical fish.
Ray Pool
Near the entrance is the Ray Pool that contains fish such as starfish, bamboo shark, blue spotted ray and archer fish. A second pool houses species like sea star, sea cucumber and bamboo shark.
Feeding the Koi fish
At the Koi pond children will enjoy feeding the white and orange Koi fish.
Next meet the green sea turtle, a very large species of turtle that can travel thousands of miles in the sea and age up to 80 years old. The Cylinder Tank houses fish including the brightly orange coloured blood parrot cichlid.
Colourful tropical fish and corals
Several tanks and aquariums house various species of corals and tropical fish like the angelfish, a very colourful species of fish with a round and flat body which allows them to hide in narrow spaces.
The butterfly fish, with its beautiful bright yellow and orange colours, lives in the coral reefs of tropical oceans as does the lionfish, a beautiful tropical fish with red and white bands and large, spiky fin rays.
Other tanks house fish as moray eel, scorpion fish, sea horses, tang fish with their very bright colours as yellow and blue and the colourful clownfish all with the beautiful corals. Don’t miss the giant crab and the lively Asian small clawed otters, the smallest otter species in the world.
Walking through the sea in the glass tunnel
The highlight of Underwater World Pattaya is its glass tunnel. Walking through the 105 metre long acrylic glass tunnel visitors experience the illusion of walking on the ocean floor surrounded by thousands of fish of many different species including sharks, stingrays and giant groupers. As the fish swim right next to you and overhead you get to see the fish from all angles.
Coral Reef zone, Open Ocean zone and Giant of Siam zone
The tunnel is divided in the Coral Reef zone, Open Ocean zone and Giant of Siam zone.
In the Coral Reef zone you will see several species of colourful corals and many tropical fish like shoals of giant Trevally.
Meet sea species as black tip reef sharks, eagle rays, black-botched rays, fat nurse sharks and shovel-nose rays in the Open Ocean zone.
The Giant of Siam zone houses an artificial ship wreck which serves as shelter for marine animals. This zone houses species as the arapaima, a very large freshwater fish that can grow to a length of 15 feet.
Aquarium staff make visitors’ photos in the glass tunnel which you can buy at the shop near the exit.
