Nice trip with children directly by the sea - We had lovely weather and since the aquarium was right by the sea we were able to enjoy it even after the tour. It is next to a shopping centre with lots of cafes and restaurants right by the sea!

Nice aquarium - Aquarium is a good way to spend time with children. Then shopping and the kids go upstairs to the game hall.
Dining hall with plenty of quick snack options.
The price in the TripAdvisor app just wasn't right for me. The aquarium ticket cost approximately 12 euros and not 83 euros.

Lovely - A very nice place to be and you will have a wonderful time if you love the sea life. Neatly done and superbly massive. Don't miss the mall in Florya as well.
You can easily take the Marmarai line from Sirkeçi and travel via the magnificent rail line. You can use your istanbulkart (the red card for Istanbul public transportation).

Interesting enough. - Not cheap. A non-Turk ticket costs 600 liras. For a 9 year old child they paid 550 liras. It might be interesting to visit once. Children for sure. The zones are divided thematically. There is a "tropical forest" zone.

Istanbul Aquarium - The aquarium, which is one of the largest in Europe, boasts a helpful front desk that provides excellent assistance. It houses a diverse range of creatures from both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Although there was no tour guide available or any shows available, we enjoyed the impressive 3D Istanbul tour. However, the shopping mall was considered to be overpriced.

Bad - Staff are rude and not welcoming, most of the screens with explanations were not working, part of the aquarium was under maintenence without pre notification, aquarium glass were not clean from inside. It was foggy in some areas, tickets were given to us at the entrance so we were not able to access the Egyptian museum which was paid already until we spoke to the customer services. Did not like the experience in general.
