TRAVELING IN DEEP WATER

4 Rating. Good times with marine creatures and the underwater world. Swimming into the Mediterranean Sea, Marble Sea, Black Sea, and Gardens is a great feeling.

Nice option to go

The aquarium is amazing. It has an incredible level of biodiversity, including sharks, stingrays, turtles, and many other species. It’s a fascinating place for both children and adults, with exhibits that really capture your attention. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Türkiye who wants to experience something different from the traditional cultural activities. It’s a great place to spend an entire day, and the experience is truly impressive.

Cute.

After seeing the Genoa aquarium, I can say that this aquarium is nice to visit with small children. It has many varieties of fish, but I was not particularly excited.

Aquarium Istanbul Floria

Istanbul Aquarium is a great place for family vacations and simply for those who love the underwater world. There are impressive shark tunnels, rare fish species, interesting theme areas and a great atmosphere. Everything is very beautiful, well-kept, the staff is polite, and the exhibitions themselves are thought out to detail. The only downside is the ticket price. 1,050 liras for admission seems expensive, especially if you're walking as a family. But if that point is not taken into account, only positive impressions remain. If you like oceanariums, then it is definitely worth visiting!

Worth a visit

Although the tickets are q bit expensive, we found the aquarium interesting and a good way to spend a few hours. The 3D helicopter flip was interesting if you are new to Istanbul, but made us all feel a little queasy. The Mirror maze is very amateurish and not worth paying extra for. There are a large variety of fish and sea mammals, and younger kids will love it.

Operator response

Hello dear traveler, Thank you for your feedback. I hope you think that money for tickets is worth for your experience! If you plan to visit Turkey again, we will be delighted to serve you again. Thanks.

Great place for every member of the family

Its impressive! Interesting place for everyone. I liked that its very well maintained. Aquariums are big and animals look like they are living well. The penguins were great, but I don`t think they belong there. They should have more space.

Amazing world

The aquarium is located on the top floor of the Florya shopping center. The aquarium is large and very interesting. O is divided into zones, for example, the Black Sea or the Mediterranean Sea. The huge moray eels and the underwater tunnel are impressive. Children will be interested not only in looking at the inhabitants of the underwater world, but also in visiting the ship and playing interactive games. Here you can see penguins, capybaras and tropical inhabitants.

Nice trip with children directly by the sea

We had lovely weather and since the aquarium was right by the sea we were able to enjoy it even after the tour. It is next to a shopping centre with lots of cafes and restaurants right by the sea!
