Booked tickets online as it works out cheaper and quicker entry time in all honesty needn't have worried about that as due to the pandemic it was a lot quieter than usual. This place blows the London Aquarium "out of the water" pardon the pun. A huge variety of sea life including but not limited to Sharks, eels, jellyfish, starfish, penguins, octopus, stingrays and amphibious creatures. Very large complex with plenty to see, based on oceans of the world such as Pacific, Mediterranean, Black sea, Red sea, Marmara, Aegean etc, take your time and marvel at various sea life creatures in all their colours, forms and guises, truly spectacular. The visit culminated in an Amazon jungle theme. The family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Akvaryum and I would most certainly recommend this place to others. As we were running a little short of time we took a taxi to the complex on our return we jumped on the Marmaray line from Florya Akvaryum station which is only a few minutes walk away from the Aquarium, this took us back into town.
