Classroom under the sea: COEX Aquarium

With 3,000 tons of water and 650 kinds of living things that total up to 40,000, the COEX Aquarium, coined at the “best marine theme park” is disappointingly underwhelming. Maybe I went with high expectations after I’ve heard some friends say it’s beautiful.

How to get there: Line 2 Samseong station, Exit 5 or 6

The COEX Aquarium is open 365 days a year, between 10am and 8pm.
