An aquarium in south Pattaya whose highlight is a transparent tunnel about a hundred metres long, where you ride a moving walkway while sharks, rays, turtles and colourful reef fish swim above and around you. It is one of the city's favourite activities for children, especially on hot or rainy days. Beside the tunnel are tanks of coral reefs, jellyfish and Thai sea fish, a small touch pool, and feeding times to watch. It is air-conditioned and comfortable, and one to two hours is enough. The price for foreigners is roughly three hundred to five hundred baht depending on where you buy, with online usually cheaper than the counter, and small children under about ninety centimetres free. It opens daily from morning to evening. Make it your plan for a hot midday or a rainy day; it is on Sukhumvit Road near the Pattaya Floating Market, so the two combine.
