Türkiye · AQUARIUMS
Good aquariums tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Visit Antalya Aquarium and Face 2 Face Wax Museum in one day. Walk through a 5-million-liter tank, spot sharks, moray eels, shipwrecks, and a sunken plane, then see lifelike celebrity figures. Optional Snow World, reptiles, and XD cinema cost extra.
Take a roundtrip shuttle from Sultanahmet Square to Istanbul Aquarium, then follow a 1.2-kilometer route through 17 themed environments. Your English-speaking host helps you enter through a separate line, while you explore 17,000-plus creatures from the Black Sea to Pacific waters and tropical rainforests.
“Aquarium is a great place, the transfer there was very nice. But the meeting point was not well marked- had to run around and ask people, finally I made it.”
Take a round-trip shuttle from Taksim Square to Istanbul Aquarium, then follow a 1.2-kilometer route through 17 ocean and rainforest zones. Your English-speaking host or greeter helps with boarding, while the skip-the-line ticket gets you inside to see sharks, penguins, piranhas, and more.
“Easy to find, it has started on time. Staff is so kind. If you don’t know what to do anymore in Istanbul, this is great idea how to spend a few hours. I suggest!”
Travel from Side to Antalya with a live English, German, or Russian-speaking guide. See Düden Waterfall, visit the 131-meter aquarium tunnel and wax museum, then enjoy free time in Kaleiçi before hotel drop-off.
“Dagtrip was prima leuk gedaan. Veel gezien wat erg leuk was.”
Spend a flexible day at Antalya Aquarium, moving from Indian Ocean and Amazon displays to the world’s largest tunnel aquarium. Add Snow World, the Wax Museum, Wild Park, Ice Museum, and XD Cinema if your ticket includes them. Hotel pickup is optional.
“Transportation to the aquarium was good. They were on time. The price performance ratio was good. We had more than enough time. The provider is professional. I have booked several excursions through the provider TOURMANIA and have always been satisfied.”
Spend about three hours at Antalya Aquarium, with access to Wild Park, Snow World, and the Face2Face Wax Museum. Choose an entry-only ticket or add hotel pickup on available Tuesdays and Fridays. You get a mobile ticket, skip-the-line access, and time to explore at your own pace.
“Website wasn’t clear about the pick up location. We had to pay extra because we couldn’t cancel our trip. The Aquarium itself also has nothing like the advertise. Very disappointing trip indeed. Not worth the money.”
Visit Antalya Aquarium beside Konyaaltı Beach, then head upstairs to Face2Face Wax Museum for celebrity selfies. Choose a basic aquarium and wax museum ticket or add Snow World, the Ice Museum, Tropical House, and Oceanride XD Cinema. Plan on one to four hours.
“Great place to visit. Kids were excited to see the plane wreck with Sharks. My lil one was excited to see Tarantulas in the Wild Life Park”
You’ll travel from your European-side Istanbul hotel to Istanbul Aquarium, following 16 zones from the Black Sea to the Pacific. Expect sharks, penguins, piranhas, a rainforest, 5D effects, the Mirror Labyrinth, and free time for shopping or lunch at Aqua Florya Mall.
“Binjour à 80 euros personne le guide nous a abandonné il nous a dit je reviens vous chercher à 14h apres à 15h jusqu'à 16h dehors après il nous a dit vous vous débrouiller pour rentrer à l'hôtel et en été loin de 15 km j'ai appelé l'agence il m'en dit en vous rappelle dans 5 min après aucune suite j'ai pris le taxi à 15 euros cete trop nul déconseillé”
Pick a strait, a valley or a stretch of coast.
