The Taiwan Ocean Biology Museum houses a rich variety of fish species and is divided into the Taiwan Waters Gallery, the Coral Kingdom Gallery, and the World Waters Gallery.
The three-story-high aquarium, underwater tunnel, or the lovely penguins, carefree beluga whales and sharks all make people feel as if they are in the underwater world!
It is not only suitable for family groups, but even adults can have a great time here. At the entrance, there is the whale hydrophilic square, all displayed with life-size physical models. There are sperm whales and baby whales leaping out of the water, and sperm whales spouting and breathing. Tourists can play in the water and escape the heat in this square and enjoy the sunshine and cool water in southern Taiwan. Walk in the large-scale underwater tunnel in Taiwan.
Overnight stay at the marine museum: As the sunset slowly sets, go to stay overnight at the marine museum in Pingtung! Enjoy the fun different from the daytime and explore the secrets of the ocean at night. Sleeping next to the fish tank is like living under the sea. Observe the three exhibition halls of the Taiwan Waters Gallery, the Coral Kingdom Gallery and the World Waters Gallery and get to know the nightlife of marine creatures.
You can look up at the reflection of corals and look forward to being awakened by the fish schools and healing beautiful scenery that come into view. There are bleached whales with sleepy eyes gracefully by your side. Penguins from the southern hemisphere and puffins from the northern hemisphere sleep together across the equator. During the day, you can visit the wild intertidal zone and observe how lives facing harsh living spaces adapt.
You can also go to the feeding area above the backstage fish tank to take a peek at the care environment of marine creatures. This all-round interlocking experience allows you to deeply understand every loving story of the marine museum.
