National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium — Frequently Asked Questions

Visitors can expect to explore extensive marine exhibits featuring an underwater tunnel, diverse aquatic ecosystems, and interactive educational displays focused on ocean conservation.

General admission grants access to the three main exhibition areas: Waters of Taiwan, Coral Kingdom, and World Waters, along with scheduled feeding shows and underwater tunnel walkthroughs.

Most visitors spend between three to four hours exploring the indoor exhibits, though a full day is recommended if you are also participating in the behind-the-scenes tours or exploring the adjacent coastal wetlands.

The museum offers guided behind-the-scenes tours that take visitors into the life support systems, breeding labs, and quarantine areas, which must be booked in advance.

The museum is actually located in Checheng, Pingtung County, rather than Taipei. Visitors must take the High Speed Rail to Zuoying Station in Kaohsiung and then transfer to a Kenting Express bus or rental car for the remaining two-hour journey south.

Yes, the facility is highly family-friendly with stroller-accessible ramps, a dedicated children's play area, and low-level viewing windows designed specifically for younger guests.

The entire facility is wheelchair accessible, featuring ramped entrances, elevators to all levels, accessible restrooms, and complimentary wheelchair rentals available at the information desk.

Arriving right at opening time on a weekday is optimal, as it allows you to experience the underwater tunnels and main ocean tank before large tour groups arrive mid-morning.

Visitors should bring a light jacket as the indoor exhibit halls are heavily air-conditioned, but flash photography, tripods, and outside food are strictly prohibited inside the galleries.

Standard dated tickets are only valid for the specific calendar date selected at purchase, and refunds or date changes are generally not permitted unless the museum issues a weather-related closure notice.

There is a food court and a cafe on the premises offering basic meals and snacks, though many visitors prefer to eat at the numerous local seafood restaurants located just outside the museum gates in Checheng.
