The Largest Aquarium in Korea

Welcome to Lotte World Aquarium — a place where the underwater world has finally decided to reveal its full glory without requiring you to don scuba gear or summon the courage of Jacques Cousteau. This massive aquarium, located in Lotte World Mall, rightfully holds the title of the largest in Korea.

Here, you’ll meet fascinating creatures of the deep, each living by its own rules:

Beluga whales — serene, snow-white philosophers whose smiles will convince you that life is beautiful.
Seals — masters of relaxation who could teach you a thing or two about achieving a zen mindset.
Penguins — delightful creatures that prove you can still be funny, even in a formal suit.
And, of course, fish. Lots of fish. From piranhas that look like they’ve just escaped a horror movie poster to the enigmatic Eastern American paddlefish, a true survival expert and living relic.

Traveler’s Tip: Near the start of your journey, you’ll pass turnstiles and a souvenir shop. Resist the temptation to stop — there’s no turning back. Visit it on your way out, when you’ll have collected enough impressions and will know exactly what you can’t leave without.
