National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium

Located in Kenting National Park, National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium is Taiwan's largest marine ecology display center. It was selected as one of Asia's top five aquariums in 2014 and 2015 on TripAdvisor, a famous travel site. Indeed, it is a must-see if you ever visit Taiwan.

"Water of Taiwan," "Coral Kingdom Pavilion World," and "Waters of the World" are the museum's three main display areas. Through "simulation in ecology," it reveals all kinds of water ecology. White whales from the Arctic and penguins from the Antarctic are the museum's most popular stars.

The museum is famous for the variety of events it holds, including staying overnight at the museum. Many visitors from at home and abroad have participated in this special activity, just to feel the oceans' charm and how it feels to sleep among the fish. People's dreams about the oceans have all come true at the museum.

Waters of Taiwan:

Waters of the World:

The earth was formed around 4.6 billion years ago where oceans have not come into existence yet. The planet was a large lump of dust clothed in gas, and so begins the earth’s history. This exhibition shows visitors all about how life evolved from the water of the planet. Though the cutting-edge technology, the exhibition demonstrates the four topics of Ancient Oceans, Kelp Forest, the Deep Sea, and the Polar Seas. The exhibition combines the Virtual reality with the physical marine Biology thus the visitors can discover the ocean ecology through the entertaining and educational exhibition programs.
