Huge building and got to see so many different kinds of fish. Even got to see some divers swimming with the fish. Good experience.
A good experience with various species and see feeding time but overall the aquarium didn’t have much expectation except the sharks, for the price it was a bit overpriced
Charming and adorable place. The price for citizens is also good. However, there is one exception, they don't care about animals at all.
One of them (zebra) bleed and no one care.
It would be perfect if that place would give their animal any treatment.

Our first time here I was expecting something more but it didn't meet my expectations. Firstly, the tanks were not well cleaned and poorly lit. Second, it was just a short-lived tour and not even an hour like what we thought it would be. Not much things to see or anything fun to do aside from feeding the stingrays but it is not for free. We missed the shark feeding at 12 noon and we wish there was another time schedule so as not to make the place boring. My wife and I are used to going to aquariums in other places but this is not one of the places we can recommend especially for $30 per person. Can do more improvement as there can be a big potential, on my opinion.
If you happen to visit this place, I recommend just checking out the aquarium. The full package ticket is around 60 euros, but excluding the aquarium, everything else is on a small scale and lacks interesting exhibits making it not worth the cost that much. Nevertheless, the water tunnel was beautiful.
We purchased the Aquarium & WildPark tickets, cost approx. £110 for 2 adults and 1 child but like everything in Antalya they are charging premium prices for the European and Russian visitors.
The aquatic life on display was reasonable, could be a little more before you get to the tunnel. We were fortunate enough to see the 1-2 larger sharks, these can be harder to spot as they allow them to swim in larger tanks behind what can be viewed. We did enjoy the tunnel. As you enter they insist on taking your photo to sell as you leave, we did like the photos but £15 for a fridge magnet photo is a little steep.
As you walk up the initial entrance ramp the 2nd floor has the WildPark and Wax sections. The WildPark was a lot smaller, once again as you enter they insist on a photo which I refused this time having just paid for the Aquatic section photo. I was asked my reason for refusal which was a little annoying.
The animals were all quite active which was great, sometimes they seem quite unresponsive such as London Zoo.
McDonalds and famous Turkish Coffee shop (forget the name) next to the Aquarium, nothing else around.
Overall definitely worth a visit, we visited Antalya in rainy December so it was good use of a couple of hours.

We were really excited to visit the aquarium, as everything we’ve read puts it as a must do. Yes, it is the largest tunnel I’ve seen but the aquarium, overall, seems very small with little variety. We strolled through, watched the shark and stingray feeding (at noon), and went to the wax museum section and were finished in well under 2 hours. Some of the wax figures are great but others do not match well.
