Waters of Taiwan (Open Year-Round)
Its highlight is the giant ocean tank recreating the eastern Pacific, with a pressure-resistant viewing window 16.5 meters wide and 4.85 meters high and tank glass about 33 centimeters thick. Spend the night sleeping beside the fish and live out your ocean dream.
Waters of the World
Four main exhibition zones: Ancient Seas, Kelp Forest, Deep Sea, and Polar Waters. Apart from the Kelp Forest, which uses traditional aquarium tanks, the pavilion pioneered electronic ecosystem tanks that use virtual reality to recreate ancient seas, the deep sea, and polar habitats.
Coral Kingdom Pavilion
In the three-section transparent Underwater Tunnel, watch fish glide past in the dark. The Beluga Area is a dedicated tank for the beluga whale, the signature species of the Arctic and sub-Arctic seas. The Sunken Ship Deck, once the captain's best lookout over the South China Sea, is now a secret shelter for fish; settle in among the viewing windows of every size and the weathered hull before drifting off to sleep.

Overnight stay at the Marine Life Museum・Seasonal package itinerary
World Waters Museum and Kelp Forest Area: Distributed in the Pacific coast of North America, giant algae can grow over 60 meters. The air sacs at the base of the leaves make the algae form a huge underwater forest landscape.
Coral Kingdom Pavilion and Undersea Tunnel Area: In the three-stage transparent tunnel, you can peek at the shadows of fish passing by in the dark night. In the first section of the tunnel, you can rest under the shadow of the stingrays passing by like birds. In the second section of the tunnel, you can look up at the reflection of the table-shaped Acropora corals. In the third section of the tunnel, you can look forward to being awaken by the morning sun and the tropical fish
Taiwan Aquatic Water Museum: Taking the cycle of water as the main story, through the journey of a small drop of water, it presents Taiwan's diverse aquatic ecological environment, from cold mountain streams to endless seaside oceans, etc. Sleeping with fish is like living in a house. Just like at the bottom of the sea!
Exhibition Hall Guide: The three exhibition halls of the Marine Life Hall have their own display focuses, and we want to share the stories and mental journeys during the planning process with you.
Back-end tour: You will be taken into the secret garden of the Aquarium, where you can have a glimpse of the care environment of marine life, and even have close contact with the creatures.
Night exploration: The ocean at night is shrouded in mystery. Where do the fish swimming around during the day hide?
