ふみ

I planned to spend about an hour based on the reviews, but time flew by. I wish I had set aside more time. I thought it was more of an adult-oriented facility rather than one for children.口コミを見て1時間程度と予定してましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました
もっと時間とっとけばよかったです
子供さん向けというよりは大人向けの施設だと思いました

An aquarium where aquariums and art are fused together.

スミレサク

I wanted to visit an aquarium that combines aquariums and art after seeing photos, but perhaps my expectations were too high. There were fewer exhibits than I expected, and the pathways weren't clearly marked, making it difficult to navigate. While there was an artistic feel that set it apart from a regular aquarium, I felt the price was quite high.アクアリュウムとアートが融合した水族館で写真を見て行きたいと思って、期待が大きすぎたのか、展示物は思ったより少ないし、経路もしっかりと表示されていないのでわかりずらかったです。普通の水族館と違いアート感はありましたが、値段も高いように感じました。

NAKAMURA

The creatures were beautifully illuminated and decorated, making it easy to watch them for a long time. It was great to observe the creatures up close. There was a space where you could see fish videos and talk about them, along with an area featuring books and polka dot stingrays, which surprised me. It was fun!光と装飾で生き物たちが美しくずっと見ていられました
間近で生き物を観察できるのがとても良かったです
本やポルカドットスティングレイの居るエリアに魚の映像とお話しできるスペースがあり、驚きました楽しかったです

An aquarium that adults can enjoy.

Since I went in the evening, it wasn't crowded, and I was able to see the sunset.

I had a very relaxing time.大人が楽しめる水族館🐟

夕方に行ったからこそ、混雑してなくて夕日の沈む場面にも見れました。

すごくゆったりした時間を過ごせました。

Marine Creatures ✖️ Artistic Space

あかね

It was truly art! There were various spaces themed around concepts like space and Japanese culture, and it was innovative and interesting to see marine creatures placed within them. However, on the last day of the Obon holiday, it was quite crowded by 10 AM. There wasn't much space, and aside from the food court, there weren't many places to sit comfortably, so it might be challenging for those with children. In the end, we took photos at a spot where we could see the beautiful scenery of Kobe.まさにアート！
テーマごとに宇宙、和など、いろんな空間があってそこに海の生き物たちを当てはめているのが斬新で面白かったです。
ただ、お盆最終日、朝10時の時点でかなり混んでました。あまり広い空間がなく、ゆっくり座れるところはフードコート以外はないので、子連れの方は大変かもと思いました。
最後は神戸の綺麗な景色が見られる場所で写真を撮りました。

A wonderful space.

まりい

I was looking forward to the theater-style aquarium that I had been curious about for a while. Each exhibit was creatively designed, but the third floor was particularly beautiful and elegant. The area with books allowed me to leisurely read various genres, which was very enjoyable. On the fourth floor, due to the rain that day, I couldn't sit in the café or observe the otters closely, so I thought it would be nice to have a roof there.前から気になっていた劇場型水族館という事で楽しみにしていました。それぞれの展示も工夫がこなされて良かったですが中でも3階フロアーが美しく雅やかで、また書籍のエリアは自由に色んな分野の本を読む事ができゆったりと過ごす事が出来ました。4階は当日は雨のためカフェを利用して座ることもカワウソたちもじっくりみられなかったので屋根があると良いなと思いました。

いらど

Each room had its own theme, and all of them were thoughtfully designed. There were plenty of rare fish, and it was adorable to see the turtles slowly wandering around the room. There was a lottery during the visit, and I actually won the grand prize! The 4th floor was an observation deck with a café. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but I bought a cookie that could be stuck onto a straw and a cute éclair. I took my time exploring, so I stayed for nearly three hours. It was a great day.部屋ごとにテーマがあり、どの部屋も趣向が凝らされていました。
珍しい魚がいっぱい。亀がのそのそと部屋を散歩してる姿もかわいかったです。
途中、抽選があり、なんと・・・特賞を頂きましたｗ
４Ｆは展望階でカフェもありました。
少し値段は高めでしたがストローに刺せるクッキーとかわいいエクレアを購入しました。
ゆっくり見て回ったので3時間近く滞在しました。
いい一日でした。

Worth seeing.

I went with a child in the lower grades of elementary school. Since each floor and area has a different theme, we spent 2-3 hours there without realizing it. While otters can be found in other aquariums, I believe this is the only place where you can get a plush of the polka dot stingray. Of course, the real fish were great, but the child seemed to really enjoy the fish on the monitor that talked back, and kept trying to engage with it.小学生低学年の子どもと一緒に行きました。
各階やエリアでテーマが違うのでじっくり見ていたら2-3時間あっという間でした。
カワウソクジは他の水族館にもあるのですが、ポルカドットスティングレイのヌイグルミが貰えるのは唯一だと思います。
本物のお魚はもちろんですが、子どもはモニターに映っておしゃべりをしてくれる魚がとても気に入ったようで何回も話しかけていました。

It's enjoyable for couples as well as for those with small children.

The naked mole rat is adorably creepy. I always feel disappointed that the otter is quietly tucked away in the corner. I wish it would move to a more prominent spot. The otter plush from the lottery is highly recommended!ハダカデバネズミがきもかわいいですよカワウソ君がひっそりすみっこなのがいつも残念に思っています。もっと目立つところに移動してくれないかなぁ。くじ引きのカワウソぬいぐるみは超おすすめです。
