Underwater World

Underwater World Review

The traditional aquarium experience is reversed at Underwater World, where aquariums surround you. Two gigantic tanks house thousands of Asian-Pacific fish and other marine life; you walk through a 100-yard acrylic tunnel that curves along the bottom. There are sharks, giant octopuses, stingrays, moray eels, and the gorgeous little weedy sea dragons of Australia. Among the latest crowd pleasers are piranhas, electric eels, a dugong (sea cow), and pink dolphins. In total, there are 2,500 marine creatures from 250 species. Try to visit the Dolphin Lagoon, which is outside the park at Tanjong Beach. You can get really close to dolphins at this attraction, one of the island's newest. The admission price is included with your Underwater World ticket, otherwise tickets are S$17.50. You can observe and even interact with the animals in feeding and training sessions from 10:30-5 daily.
