COEX Aquarium
 
The COEX Aquarium is largest in Korea!

The COEX Aquarium is the largest of its kind in Korea with a staggering total water weight of 2,500 tons, offering you the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to come face to face with approximately 40,000 fish of 500 different varieties, as you travel along right underneath the sea

It's what everyone has been waiting for: the exhibition where you can actually experience the under-sea world has finally arrived in Korea!
The Aquarium is only and first in Korea, it can help you to study and also enjoy yourself
The COEX Aquarium offers children and adults alike, not just a playground, but a huge "Ocean Classroom" where they can acquire first-hand knowledge about the under-sea world and marine ecology.

The vast under-sea panorama above your head that passes you by as you step onto the moving walkway will let you experience the excitement of encountering rare species such as man-eating shark and giant stingrays - just inches away!

A truly world-class tourist attraction, representing Korea's beautiful marine environment, the COEX Aquarium (which boasts the largest quarantine facilities in Korea) will make a major contribution to the conservation of marine resources and ecological studies, while attracting many foreign visitors to Korea.
