Nice option to go - The aquarium is amazing. It has an incredible level of biodiversity, including sharks, stingrays, turtles, and many other species. It’s a fascinating place for both children and adults, with exhibits that really capture your attention. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Türkiye who wants to experience something different from the traditional cultural activities. It’s a great place to spend an entire day, and the experience is truly impressive.

Aquarium Istanbul Floria - Istanbul Aquarium is a great place for family vacations and simply for those who love the underwater world. There are impressive shark tunnels, rare fish species, interesting theme areas and a great atmosphere. Everything is very beautiful, well-kept, the staff is polite, and the exhibitions themselves are thought out to detail.
The only downside is the ticket price. 1,050 liras for admission seems expensive, especially if you're walking as a family. But if that point is not taken into account, only positive impressions remain. If you like oceanariums, then it is definitely worth visiting!

Great place for every member of the family - Its impressive! Interesting place for everyone. I liked that its very well maintained. Aquariums are big and animals look like they are living well.
The penguins were great, but I don`t think they belong there. They should have more space.

Amazing world - The aquarium is located on the top floor of the Florya shopping center.
The aquarium is large and very interesting. O is divided into zones, for example, the Black Sea or the Mediterranean Sea. The huge moray eels and the underwater tunnel are impressive. Children will be interested not only in looking at the inhabitants of the underwater world, but also in visiting the ship and playing interactive games.
Here you can see penguins, capybaras and tropical inhabitants.

Nice trip with children directly by the sea - We had lovely weather and since the aquarium was right by the sea we were able to enjoy it even after the tour. It is next to a shopping centre with lots of cafes and restaurants right by the sea!

TRAVELING IN DEEP WATER - 4 Rating. Good times with marine creatures and the underwater world. Swimming into the Mediterranean Sea, Marble Sea, Black Sea, and Gardens is a great feeling.

Worth a visit - Although the tickets are q bit expensive, we found the aquarium interesting and a good way to spend a few hours. The 3D helicopter flip was interesting if you are new to Istanbul, but made us all feel a little queasy. The Mirror maze is very amateurish and not worth paying extra for. There are a large variety of fish and sea mammals, and younger kids will love it.

Cute. - After seeing the Genoa aquarium, I can say that this aquarium is nice to visit with small children. It has many varieties of fish, but I was not particularly excited.

Bad - Staff are rude and not welcoming, most of the screens with explanations were not working, part of the aquarium was under maintenence without pre notification, aquarium glass were not clean from inside. It was foggy in some areas, tickets were given to us at the entrance so we were not able to access the Egyptian museum which was paid already until we spoke to the customer services. Did not like the experience in general.
