Say Hello to the Singapore Oceanarium!
A Bigger, Bolder Ocean Experience
The brand-new Singapore Oceanarium officially opens on July 24, 2025 at Resorts World Sentosa—and it’s poised to become one of the most immersive marine experiences in the region. Triple the size of the original S.E.A. Aquarium, this state-of-the-art attraction features over 100,000 marine animals, 22 themed zones, and a blend of storytelling, science, and emotive moments to deepen visitors’ connection to ocean life.
Whether you’re marvelling at a kreisel tank of pulsing Moon Jellies, stepping into Asia’s first zero-energy marine science hub, or soaking in the cinematic views from the 36-metre-wide Open Ocean viewing panel, this is no ordinary aquarium—it’s a full-blown underwater odyssey.
