Seoul is home to a wide range of amusement parks. On one hand you would get parks like Lotte World and Everland that are no less exciting than Disney Land; on the other hand, water parks and aquariums too are equally exciting. Regarded as the greatest theme aquarium in South Korea, Coex Aquarium in Seoul is an exciting locale to know a great deal about marine life. Coex Aquarium is a massive facility with more than 2500 tons of water. With a variety of 650 species, the aquarium houses over 40,000 marine animals. If this seems impressive already, wait, there is much more to disclose. The theme exhibition at this aquarium is the "Journey of Water". The journey of water begins from mountain tops as snow and glaciers melt; then passing through the deep and inaccessible curvatures of rain forests, the journey ultimately ends in the deep blue sea. This theme is a great way to know the lifecycle of water. After you acquire knowledge of the lifecycle of water, it is time to know more about spectacular marine life. There is an undersea tunnel at Coex Aquarium that passes through 2000 tons of water. Enveloped by durable Optical fiber glass wall, walking through this tunnel you would discover and be amazed by spectacular looking marine animals including fearsome sharks. The Coex Aquarium is unique in another respect. Blending pleasure with learning, the section called "Lectures at Sea" provides a holistic knowledge to the visitors about spectacular marine life. Commonly regarded as ruthless predators, this park aims to eradicate misconceptions about sharks. Coex Aquarium has a sea food restaurant too. So after getting a lot of knowledge about different marine species, enjoy some great tasting sea fish and squid at "Deep Blue". To add more to your pleasurable eating experience, the restaurant has one of its walls shared with the main aquarium. So enjoy seeing marine animals elegantly swimming by as you eat. An adult ticket at Coex Aquarium, Seoul costs around 14,500 Won but a children ticket can be purchased at 9,500 Won only. There is also discount available for a group of over 20 people.
