Your Experience

Situated within Nagoya Garden Pier, this aquarium is home to a wide variety of marine life. It offers an engaging look into underwater ecosystems and features several unique exhibits for visitors to explore.

Talented Whale & Dolphin Performances

Watch dolphins perform in a massive 60-meter pool that highlights their intelligence and agility. These animals display their skills with impressive speed, and there's even an opportunity to touch them during certain sessions. Orcas and beluga whales also take part in training demonstrations led by experienced handlers.

Observe Sea Animals Closely At Feeding Time

During feeding times, visitors can watch penguins, migratory fish, and sea turtles as they eat. African penguins are handfed directly by their caretakers, creating a memorable sight. A particularly fascinating moment is the synchronized sardine dance where many fish move together to find food. The vivid colors of these moments make for an eye-catching display. On weekends and holidays, you can also see how trainers use special tools to teach belugas how to catch prey.

Discover The Secrets Of Aquatic Life

Each exhibit provides educational insights into the lives of marine animals in their natural habitat. You may watch them interact with one another or listen as a diver gives instructions while filming fish using an underwater camera.

If you choose the combo ticket, your visit includes access to the Observation Deck, located 53 meters above ground level for panoramic views. Afterward, explore the Maritime Museum to learn about ports, ships, and global trade routes. Your day can end with a tour of the Antarctic Fuji ship, Japan’s first real icebreaker. Boarding this vessel allows you to see its interior and discover stories from its time in research operations.
