It's one of the best aquariums! There were many unique marine lifes that I had never seen or known before. Also, many shows are prepared. There's no time to get bored. I feel here the souvenirs are cheap and reasonable prices. Not too many people in the aquarium. Therefore, you can have much better views or spaces. The staff, here, are very nice too. Strongly recommend

It is a pretty big aquarium with lots of sections. There are some pretty unique animals which you don't see in other aquariums. I think some of the most famous animals here are, sea otters (my kids love them), manatees, and walruses. My personal favorite is the Monster Lab, weird creatures, and freak of nature. I think you will need at least 3-4 hours to enjoy the aquarium and watch all of the shows.

The facility is aged, some of their animals enviornment is questionable. And I dont think it worth the price as there are many better options in Japan. I do not recommnend if you go to Toba just for the Aquarium, is not worth it. It is okay to come if you are going other places.

It’s a nice aquarium with a good collection of fishes and animals. It has various shows scheduled all day long, too. It’s a very good place to go with kids and spend a day there, especially in a hot summer day as there’re plenty of indoor activities to do.

There are a lot of animals and different exhibits. Some of the most interesting included a tank of lobster larvae, an exhibit on anomalous octopus, and a beautiful Arapaima tank. I did not see any of the animal shows so I can't comment on them. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of injured creatures (nipped fins, wounds, missing tentacles, and even a dead crayfish in the crayfish exhibit). Many tanks have too many fish in them, and in some the animals barely have enough space to turn around. It was especially bad for some of the mammals, like the sea lions and cats. It made me very uncomfortable. It's a huge aquarium with lots of variety, but if animal welfare is a concern for you, I wouldn't recommend visiting.
