The Shore Oceanarium Melaka

“Great place to go! Overall ok ! Any activity, many exciting mainan for children. Cume, no toilet inside, not so big area and if crowd no control it will became too sesak. Please repair and check maintenance each section. Nak tengok wayang unable due to place too small and need to quote too long.”

“Truly enjoyed my time here with my kids. They love it. Took so many pictures! Will definitely return.”

“Entry is RM40 per person, and we added RM10 for fish feed (which turned out to be raw fish chunks). The feeding happens at the very end of the route, right before the gift shop. Nothing really caught our eye there apart from oceanarium-themed souvenirs—mostly random toys and knick-knacks otherwise. We visited on a quiet Wednesday afternoon and had the first section almost to ourselves. The highlight was the touch pool, where staff let us handle starfish, baby sharks, and even mama and papa sharks. She shone a phone light through a shark egg to show the baby inside—that was awesome! She also explained how to tell male and female sharks apart by their underbellies. Super engaging and educational. The main tanks are limited, as many reviews mention—small oceanarium with some unlabeled exhibits, so about a third of the time we weren’t sure what we were looking at. Still fine for the price. Beyond sea life, there were insects, scorpions, hedgehogs, frog exhibits, and preserved specimens. The layout loops back to the start (u-turn and go right), with a short 3D show about a sea turtle’s journey from egg to beach that was interesting enough to watch fully. I’m giving it 4 stars—room for improvement on labeling, empty tanks, insect area lighting, etc.—but overall satisfied for RM40. Huge thanks for the touch pool and shark egg demo; that made the visit memorable!”

“First went here in 2017 & decided to try to go again to see how much has changed. The ticket costs us RM40 now per person. Location is easy to find, and love the highlight at the first stop which is touching shark fish with your bare hands. Went on a Sunday & surprisingly there’s no queue as it’s not peak hour (it was around 3.30pm). Free 3D glasses were provided, for the 3D short movie at the small cinema. Aside from sealife, there’s also exhibits of insects & reptiles. There’s also an exhibit of luminescent fishes, really pretty as they glow in the dark. The longest duration you can spend inside is probably around 1hr30mins. There’s also interactive plays inside such as stepping on a keyboard to make a sound or stepping lighting stones on the ground. To enhance your experience inside, you need to download ARLOOPA app to see VR of said animals at the provided marker. If you compare to Aquaria, of course Aquaria wins some points here & there but this is still a fun place to go with your kids or loved ones.”
