We finally got to visit the SEA Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore. After hearing that it is the world’s largest aquarium featuring over 100,000 marine life and seeing videos such as this…
We decided that its about time 2bearbear.com visited the SEA Aquarium Singapore!
Attraction Highlights of SEA Aquarium Resorts World Sentosa Singapore
After reading our visit to the Maritime Experiential Museum, you’ll realise that the SEA Aquarium is actually connected to it. The last time we visited the Maritime Experential Museum, the SEA Aquarium was not yet open to the public that’s why the tickets then were cheaper ($5). But now, with the opening of the SEA Aquarium, you’ll pay ($38) to visit both the Maritime Experential Museum, the SEA Aquarium and admission to the Typhoon Theatre (3D show on Non-Peak Days only).
The SEA Aquarium is located at B1 and there are a total of 7 zones, namely
1. Shipwreck Habitat
2. Discovery Touch Pool
3. Ocean Journey
4. Open Ocean
5. Ocean Dome
6. Moray Eel
7. Shark Seas
Shipwreck Habitat SEA Aquarium Resorts World Sentosa Singapore

As you enter the Shipwreck Habitat, you’ll pass through this tunnel where you’ll observe various marine life forms that have flourished around this ship wreck. Here are some of the interesting marine life that we saw…
Razor Fish – Swims in a vertical manner!

Can you spot the sea horse? Or do you just see a sea weed?
Discovery Touch Pool SEA Aquarium Resorts World Sentosa Singapore
Discovery Touch Pool SEA Aquarium Singapore
The Discovery Touch Pool is one of the highlights for the kids. You’ll get to touch various marine life such as the star fish. Kids will definitely have a ball of a time! The only thing is that the waiting time can be quite long, depending on the period that you’re visiting. We waited for about 15 minutes. Not too bad.
Vertical Fish Column
The other highlight at this zone is this vertical fish column. With the various colours shown by the fish, it displays a dazzling array of underwater performance! Check out this video and you’ll see why…

So how does it compare to the Floor to Ceiling Window for Viewing of The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis the Palm Dubai?
Huge stone looking fish
Largest Stingray “flying” through the water
The manta rays for us were the highlight. It really looked like it was “flying”! So gracefully through the water! It moves with such ease and majestic movement and in a blink of an eye, it was out of sight.
Ocean Dome and Moray Eel SEA Aquarium Resorts World Sentosa Singapore
We saw the moral eels but did not take any pictures because its movement back to its “nest” was so slick and quick! We did see other interesting marine life at the Ocean Dome…

The Verdict
The SEA Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore is definitely one of the biggest attractions at Sentosa and possibly Singapore. The only gripe we have is that because its new and the large number of visitors (hear the background sounds to the videos), it may get a little congested especially at the entrance and at the exits. Nonetheless, a great venue to take the family for a day out “at sea”. If you’re wondering how it compares to the Lost Chambers in Dubai, check out our post during our visit to Atlantis the Palm Dubai!
