The admission fee is low. The place doesn't have any attractive shows such as a dolffin show to attract people, but surprisingly, creatures living in the seven oceans of the world are on display. This is a good place for elementary school students to learn about the aquatic life that lives in Tokyo Bay and more. The deep sea creatures are also interesting.
One of the most spectacular exhibits is the tuna tank. The 360-degree panoramic viewing was very impressive. Children must be delighted.

Tokyo Sea Life Park is run by the government, so it explains its low, low entrance fee of just 700jpy (~5usd). It's even cheaper for students, elderly and visitors in large groups. Despite its affordability, we were still amazed by these outstanding areas:

1. Informative displays
They have aquatic animals from all over the world, and informative pictorial displays explaining the habitat and special features of each habitat's animals. Our favourite was those of the Deep Sea, especially apt to be displayed here since the deepest trench of the world, the Challenger Deep (10,984metres/ 36,037feet deep) lies in the Pacific Ocean just south of Japan.

2. Hypnotic tuna tank:
There was a standalone two-floor-high tank JUST for tunas, in a separate space from the main three-floor-high tank. There were hundreds of one-meter-long tuna fishes just swimming non-stop all around you as you sat in the auditorium-like space. With a really gentle and soothing, running commentary in Japanese which we didn't understand at all, it seemed like the best place to zone out and be hypnotized by it all.

3. Brilliant tidal pool (with an interactive area and octopus display):
Pretty cool that they actually built a tidal pool with simulated tidal waves which rise and recede periodically just like the real deal, so visitors can closely observe the tidal animals in this almost-real but controlled habitat. Usually one could only visit the real tidal pools during low tide, which usually happens in the wee hours of the morning just to get to see these amazing tidal animals. But here at this tidal pool, visitors could easily see the sea stars, anemones and snails literally just two steps away from your feet. The interactive zone in this area was useful to educate the public how to correctly handle the animals. The display of an octopus actively squeezing through the tiny transparent tubes was quite a sight, too.

The Tokyo Sea Life Park also has lots of outdoor spaces such as those housing the penguins and being built right by the sea, it was wonderful to enjoy the sea breezes as you walked around the park. Absolutely enjoyable.

There is only one eatery, called Sea Wind Restaurant, in the park. We found the one right outside, called ParkLife, with a more appealing menu so we ate there instead.

You could also take a family photo as a souvenir at rhe entrance/exit, at a low cost of about 10usd.

Tokyo Sea Life Park is a perfect place for people from all walks of life. Besides the variety of sea life indoors, outside was a picturesque view overlooking the water, and a very well-maintained natural walkway of Kasai Rinkai Park. The pricing is very affordable.

It can get very busy with kids and school students, but we had a great time.

Nice aquarium with a large variety of sea creatures, even from the deep sea, which was impressive. But there didn’t seem to be shows/at least not on a large scale with seating, so I thought it paled in comparison with the Fukuoka one (Marine World uminonakamichi).

They give you an option outside the entrance, whether to park your pram/stroller or bring it in. Either way is allowed. Just that you’d be brought in via a back entrance if you do bring it in and you’ll have to queue for the lift, etc. I see why many choose to leave it outside, it’s just easier to see the exhibits and all, with the crowds.

Tokyo Sea life is a large sea aquarium with multitude of fish from all over the world. Shark and ray swim in huge tanks, exotic topical fish in small ones. There is an open air section with adorable penguins, too. Perhaps the most fascinating species was one that could jump from water to dry land and back again using some kind of appendages. I had not even heard of such a fish before.

My younger kids (10 and 12) love sea life. For around $15, we spent around two hours checking out a wide variety of animals. Highly recommended for families. Great value!

Lovely place to spend 2-3 hours. The entrance to the building itself is such a novelty and should be a very nice photo opportunity on a sunny day. Like most other visitors who reviewed this attraction, we found the huge tuna mesmerising. But we also loved the simulated coast line with a wave generator. It was nice to see rare local specimens like the goblin fish and those that live in deeper waters.

A great place to bring family and spend the entire day. The marine museum is one of the better I have seen (visited at least more than a dozen in Japan). This one tops it because of the vast experience and the affordable of allowing the audience to be close and have interactions with the dolphins, seals, beluga whales etc.
A sure visit for me again.

There is a run route around the two rivers on both sides of the park. In a sunny day, it is a good place to stroll or run.
