We took the bus from Nagasaki station (the information desk next to the train portal will help you finding the right one) to the aquarium. The ride costs 410 yen one way and probably it would have been cheaper to get a day ticket. You pay in the bus with coins. The bus station for going back to Nagasaki is... More

A wonderful place for kids to observe penguins. You can see parade by King Penguins. Not so many people go there, so good for kids.

I took my three kids here, and they all seemed to enjoy it. They loved the "march of the penguins". I thought it was a bit small, and we had seen everything un under 90 mins. The thing we enjoyed most was being able to touch the pengins. I am glad we went, but most likely won't go back.

positive: you can see the penguin closely and clearly!! I study a lot from this aquarium too. It's not too crowded like the aquarium in Osaka. negative: too far! But the scenery to the aquarium is really worth it! Tips: If you go here early, you can see the penguin show. I forget the time, but perhaps it's around noon.... More

A fun aquarium that focuses much of its attention on the most adorably awesome animals ever - penguins. It's not a large aquarium and doesn't take long to see everything, but the penguin exhibits are top notch. While the penguins are its focus, there are other excellent aquarium tanks - with things like reef fish, jellyfish, sharks, giant crabs, giant... More

This is a surprisingly entertaining and informative aquarium located about 30 minutes [by bus] from Nagasaki station. Catch a red bus bound for Aba in front of the "London" game center. Cost is about 420 yen per person. A 12 meter deep tank dominates the entry way. You can observe a variety of swimming penguins from the vantage of underwater.... More
