When SEA Aquarium Singapore officially opened in 2012, it briefly held the title of the world’s largest aquarium. Although it was surpassed by Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Hengqin, China, in 2014, SEA Aquarium remains the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia today.
Home to over 100,000 marine animals from more than 1,000 species, the SEA Aquarium is divided into seven thematic zones, each offering a unique perspective on marine biodiversity and conservation.
