    Quite clean and well maintained attraction. Easy access, free parking, access is 100baht/foreigner, 50baht/thai, 30baht/child. They have a free watershow at 10am and 2pm on the weekends. The guy basically dives and feed the fishes for 15 minutes. The facilities are part of Khon Kaen University.

    It's cheaper for the ticket. I really enjoyed exploring this aquarium. I learnt many kinds of fish here. The toilet is clean enough. There's a souvenir booth before exit.

    Value for money, lots of interesting fish - both fresh water and sea water. There is a feeding time at 2 o'clock and it is very cool!

    Bigger and more fun than we expected! It’s great to get to know the local fish. My 10 year old daughter had a great time! Worth the drive outside of town.

    Nice Aquarium, about 8 km from the City Center next to the University on the Road to the Thai - Lao Bridge.This place is well maintained and clean, many Mekong Species but salt water ones as well. In a 3 floor building situated, and on your way down a walk tru a glass tunnel. 1 or 2 times a day, there are also divers cleaning or feeding fish in the big aquarium what makes it interesting to see. So yes, if in Nongkhai, worth a visit to spend 1.5 or 2 hours in there. One ""negatif" point for ME was to see the turtles outside, in a way to small tub, sad view. But i understand that this is not an easy decision to make with these wonderful animals... they ""normally" belong in big waters/sea/ocean, but if you want to show them to the people......... well, sorry, the only thing i did not liked about the aquarium. Be aware... there is also the "tier - double pricing policy", so a Thai driving licence - pink ID Card - Thai wife or girlfriend can surround this. On the other hand... 50 baht for locals, 100 baht for farang is not the end of the World.

    Very impressed a lot more to see than I was expecting. Great range of fish very clean. Helpful staff. I had thought it was going to be something small but it is quiet big for Nong Khai also there are bicycles outside for the public to use. I think this place will only get bigger and better. Enjoy !

    Meh. Honestly if you’re struggling to bring the kids somewhere, then sure. But you’re almost just as well off to bring them to a wet market. Smells the same, almost as many types of fish, and this way you can buy them and take them home to cook.

    My son loves fish and aquatic life so this was a must stop for us---he loved visiting here. There's a nice variety of salt and fresh water/river fish. Really cool to see Mekong fish up close. Dual language signs in Thai and English for many of the tanks. Some massive turtles out back as well. Highly recommended for families with kids looking for something interesting to do, it's a nice activity. Kids gave it multiple thumbs up.

  • 5/5 TK 3. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    I enjoyed the aquarium very much— especially watching the show when the fish are fed at 2:00. There were lots of school children there and it was fun seeing their excitement as they enjoyed the show.

  • 4/5 Brendan T. 1 year ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Great place to spend a few hours for the kids to learn about all the various fish and aquatic animals found in the Mekong River. Many of the signs have dual language so makes for good information for the kids.

  • 4/5 Andy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Just a fabulous place to visit. Very interesting to see the number of and the variety of fish, most of which make home in the Mekong River.

  • 4/5 Friendly C. 2 years ago on Google
    B100 for foreigners, B50 for Thais and thaiyfied foreigners. It's not an Ocean Park style setup (hence the different admission fee) but still a nice place if you have to pass an hour near NongKhai or especially if you have children. No activities inside, just tank after tank after tank of fish.

  • 5/5 Christopher N. 1 year ago on Google
    I was impressed with this aquarium and especially liked that it was focused on the local aquatic life from the Mekong. Definitely worth going to if you're in Nong Khai.

    Loved it! Although the tanks could be cleaned more often but all around, had all the fresh water fish in Thailand and the endangered species section really makes you reflect on what we could do differently

    Asian style aquarium, not much life exept the fish in small tanks. For small kids an easy hour to walk through, not much more to recommend

    The museum is impressive, it is very educational for children, students and researchers. Only a big issue, there is a female photographer next to the ticket office took photo of you without asking for a permission when you walk in then she printed it and hand over to you in the exit of the museum and ask you to pay. In my case, she took the photo of my five years old son while I was purchasing the tickets. She gave it to us before we exited the gate so I was mad at her but she was very rude and said that she can take photo of anyone without asking for a permission because this is her country, and claimed that she has doing/cheating people for more ten years. I didn't pay her and I also encourage you to not pay her. This is unacceptable!. I do hope the University of Khon Kaen will investigate this case.
