It was a nice experience in Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium. The sea view was eye soothing. You can use Nagasaki Bus Service. 320 yen is the regular bus fare from Nagasaki Station.

Best penguin aquarium in the world! Don't forget to visit feeding time (weekdays) or marching time (weekend)

Small aquarium, it's also quite a ways from the city center. But the highlight is the penguins, i think there are 4 species in the cold pen, and 1 species in the outdoor pen. Catch it during the feeding and you will be rewarded. Also very unique in that a full cross section of underwater and above water can be seen from the 2nd level vantage point. There is also a public beach you can avail after the relatively short look around. There is also a kids play area near the back where kids can be distracted for a while. Overall, well worth the reasonable ticket price

Best place ever. Home to 9 (out of 18 total) different penguin species whereas most aquariums only have 1-2 types. The feeding times (at 11am or 3pm) are cuteness overload with penguins frantically waddling after food. The museum also has a ton of information about all the penguin species and very nice visuals. We spent over 3 hours at the aquarium without getting bored.

They claim to be the place with the most types of penguins (9 out of 18 types). Pretty fun and modest place to spend some time on. It is not large, with just a few large areas for penguins and other aquatic creatures scattered around here and there. But it is not expensive and not too hard to access by bus. This might be heaven for penguin lovers, for others it’s still nice to spend an hour or so here.
