Tips for tourists

Oceanarium COEX Aquarium

How to get there: Samseong subway station, exit 6. It is located in the huge COEX building. There are exhibitions and a shopping center there. It is easier to walk along the street than to wander around the complex itself. The way is this: exit the subway from exit number six and go straight and straight until the huge COEX building itself ends. Here you can turn left and enter it.


Opening hours: from 10 to 20

Website: HERE

How much time does it take: a couple of hours

The price of the issue: 22,000 KRW ($20). Not cheap.

Personal impressions: Average in impressions, but quite a good and new oceanarium. There is nothing super, the oceanarium in St. Petersburg is much better. But in principle you can go.

From the unusual: This is the first time I've seen sea cows. They are extremely funny animals.


I was also impressed by a tiny aquarium with fish with legs. Apparently some kind of transitional form between a lizard and a fish. Grandpa Darwin would have been delighted.



In general, everything is in place in the oceanarium: tropical fish, piranhas, an octopus, a huge aquarium with sharks and rays, equipped with a tunnel and a moving walkway.

Another unusual thing: there is a hall with installations like these.





You can stick your hand in the water, like the well-known Greek, and the fish will eat off the excess skin from your fingers, from their point of view. It tickles.


Two hours flew by. There are cafes in the shopping center where you can have an inexpensive lunch. Not a food court, but separate cafes.
