Visited on 16 Dec 2025 (4 adults) - This oceanarium is worth a visit when you’re in Malacca. It is informative and interactive, even for adults. Although it is not very large, it is nicely arranged with different sections such as fish, shells, insects, and more.

Nice place to bring young kids for a fun outing! It’s a smaller oceanarium, but everything is clean, well-kept, and easy to walk through. …

This place is really wonderful to see many different kinds of fish, reptiles, insects etc. They have telescopes to see the insects world, a 3D shirt movie about some sea animals, and great decorations. The place is designed in a very nice way that keeps everyone interested till the exit. It's a great place to take your kids to, also.
