Zoos & aquariums
Busan Aquarium
Busan Aquarium
Located on Haeundae Beach, this facility houses a wide variety of marine species. Visitors can observe aquatic life through various exhibits, including an 80-meter underwater tunnel, which is the longest of its kind in South Korea.
Getting There
The aquarium is situated in the Haeundae district. From Busan city centre, visitors can take the subway (Line 2) to Haeundae Station. From the station, it is a short walk to the beach area. The journey typically takes 45 to 60 minutes depending on the starting point within the city.
Visit Duration
Most visitors spend between 2 and 3 hours exploring the exhibits and walking through the underwater tunnel.
When to Visit
The facility is indoors, making it a viable option regardless of the season or weather. It often becomes crowded during weekends, public holidays, and the peak summer beach season. Visiting on a weekday morning generally avoids the largest crowds.
Nearby Attractions
Because of its location, the aquarium can be combined with other sites in the Haeundae area:
- Haeundae Beach (0.1km): Directly adjacent to the entrance.
- Haeundae LCT The Sharp (0.7km): A short walk along the coast.
