Other visitors' reviews of Jōetsu Aquarium Umigatari
Show More ReviewsIt was smaller than I expected. Unfortunately, the weather was bad (very windy) that day, so the dolphin stadium on the 3rd floor and the penguin feeding experience on the 2nd floor were closed. The staff were kind and explained the re-entry process clearly, which was helpful. There's a restaurant on the 1st floor, but I wouldn't recommend it. The food wasn't hot.
