S.E.A. Aquarium

Overview

The S.E.A. Aquarium on Sentosa houses over 100,000 marine animals across 50 habitats representing the world's major ocean zones. Its centrepiece — the Open Ocean habitat — features an 8.3 m tall, 36 m wide acrylic viewing panel, one of the world's largest, with manta rays, sharks, and giant groupers gliding past.

Highlights

• Open Ocean Panel: A mesmerising wall of deep blue water with schools of trevally, manta rays, and a leopard shark.
• Shark Seas: A walk-through tunnel with over 200 sharks from 12 species overhead.
• Discovery Touch Pool: Hands-on encounters with horseshoe crabs, sea cucumbers, and starfish.

History

Opened in 2012 as part of Resorts World Sentosa's Marine Life Park, the aquarium held the Guinness record for the world's largest aquarium until Georgia Aquarium's expansion. It underwent a major refresh in 2024 with enhanced habitats and digital interpretation.
