Underwater World Pattaya
22 Moo 11 Sukhumvit Road, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri
Take a walk beneath the water as sharks and rays glide overhead at Underwater World Pattaya. This walk-through aquarium highlights the diverse range of marine creatures found in Thai waters, from shallow rock-pool dwellers to colorful coral and deep-ocean fish. More than 2,500 critters are on display, representing some 200 species.
Underwater World Pattaya is divided into different themed zones, including the Open Ocean, Coral Reef, and Giants of Siam. Other areas are dedicated to tortoises and sea turtles, fighting fish, otters, and an interactive touch tank that’s popular with kids. Choose between a basic admission ticket and a ticket that includes hassle-free transportation from Pattaya hotels. The aquarium is also included on the Ultimate Thailand Pass, a multi-attraction ticket that offers discounted admission to several top sights.
Underwater World Pattaya is a favorite attraction among families with kids.
Book your aquarium ticket ahead of time to skip the line and spend more time inside.
Plan to spend 45 minutes to an hour exploring the aquarium.
Underwater World Pattaya is accessible for both wheelchairs and strollers.
From central Pattaya, take the southbound white baht bus along Sukhumvit Highway from the South Pattaya Road junction to reach Underwater World Pattaya. It’s also possible to hire a taxi or, for a more convenient trip, opt for an admission ticket with included transportation.
The aquarium is open daily and makes an excellent rainy-day activity, as it’s nearly all indoors. Check the calendar for the latest feeding times before your visit.
Pattaya is a surprisingly family-friendly destination, with plenty of kid-approved attractions like Underwater World. Take the little ones to cool off on the water slides at Ramayana Water Park, have fun with the interactive photo ops at Art in Paradise Pattaya, or get in a cuddly mood at the Teddy Bear Museum. For a fun family day trip, take a speedboat to Coral Island to play in the sun, sand, and sea.
