[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Dream Aquarium (Updated Apr)

#Greater Bay Area Attractions A small aquarium located inside the Joy Coast. The place is not very big, there are most jellyfish inside, but also other marine life, such as starfish, sharks, etc.. It can be treated as a visit to the underwater world. Each small glass display case is equipped with lighting to see the small movements of various jellyfish or fish, and the overall effect is quite beautiful. It takes about 40 minutes to walk the entire aquarium, which is a good experience. And the location is convenient, you can take the MTR to Shenzhen Bay Station, get off and walk for about 10 minutes. 

Dream aquarium is located at the end of OCT mall, close to OCT subway station in Shenzhen. It costs 60RMB per person for entry and takes approximately 1-2 hours to see it all. It is a series of dimly lit rooms, lit up by UV lights and coloured LEDs, to create a truly surreal experience. I would recommend going here in the evening when it might be less busy as walking around here by yourself or with a few friends is very peaceful, relaxing and interesting. The main focus of the aquarium is on different species of jellyfish, in a variety of types of tanks, some rooms are full of long tube tanks with mirrors on the walls giving the effect that the rooms go on forever. They also have many species of fish, crabs, rays, some turtles and even some octopus, mostly small to medium sized. The highlight of the aquarium is a sea lion show, these shows run at various times throughout the day and take about 30 minutes, you can see the sea lions performing amazing acrobatic tricks and doing other funny things. Highly recomendd for anyone in the OCT area of Shenzhen. #zoos #aquarium

Today, I took my child to visit the Dream Aquarium, where we embarked upon on an aquatic journey to celebrate the New Year. The jellyfish tank is intoxicating - it truly draws you in! As for the sea lion show, it's best to get there early - the front rows offer the best views.

Entering the Happy Coast Ocean Dream Pavilion in Shenzhen feels like opening a door to a dreamy deep-sea world. The entire exhibition hall is bathed in soft blue light, reflecting the fish swimming in the aquariums, making you feel as if you are in the middle of the blue ocean. Among the colorful corals, tropical fish leisurely swim back and forth, creating enchanting underwater scenes with the interplay of light and shadow. The most breathtaking sight is the giant arched aquarium, where whale sharks and manta rays glide gracefully, their massive figures leaving visitors in awe. In the viewing tunnel, the sea water above seems almost within reach, and schools of fish swim from all directions, making you feel as if you are truly immersed in the ocean's embrace. The bioluminescent jellyfish exhibit exudes a dreamy atmosphere, with jellyfish dancing with the waves like floating stars, captivating visitors. Stepping outside the pavilion, the night breeze gently caresses the coast, and the lights reflecting on the lake seem to extend the pavilion's magical ambiance. This ocean journey is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual exploration, deeply impressing visitors with the wonders and grandeur of nature.

🐠 The aquarium is truly, truly, truly photogenic!!! 📍 Shenzhen Happy Coast · Ocean Miracle Museum 🚇 About a 10-minute walk from Exit E of Shenzhen Bay Park Station (near Funtown on the 2nd floor of Happy Coast Shopping Center) 🎫 80 RMB for a day pass｜50 RMB for the evening session ps: It is recommended to visit on a working day evening as there are fewer people and it's easier to take good photos～ 📷 Photography Tips It is recommended to wear white/light-colored dresses/JK uniforms, which look better under the lights. You can use props such as headphones and cameras to create a sense of atmosphere.

👨‍👩‍👧Families, bring your kids to Shenzhen for some fun, these treasure troves of kid-friendly places are a must-visit! Just finished taking my kids to these places, and the experience was fantastic. The kids were excited all the way😆 📍Shenzhen Safari Park🐅: Stepping into the park is like entering a wondrous animal world. Little ones, eyes wide open, curiously watched the adorable giant pandas leisurely munching on bamboo, the majestic tigers pacing through the woods, and the clever monkeys leaping and playing among the branches. The animal shows in the park are also a major highlight, with sea lions skillfully balancing balls and parrots expertly riding bicycles. The children were amused and their eyes filled with wonder✨ Here, children can not only learn about various animals and their habits but also cultivate their love and awe for nature. 📍Shenzhen Children's Play Area🎠: This free, super-large park is truly a children's paradise! It's packed with diverse amusement facilities. The classic carousel makes children feel like they're in a fairy tale; the thrilling roller coaster lets older children unleash their energy; and the romantic Ferris wheel offers a bird's-eye view of the entire park. The park is shaded by lush trees, creating a very comfortable environment. Parents can relax in the rest area while watching their children play carefree. 📍OCT Harbour OCT Bay Dream Aquarium🐠: This is a dreamy underwater world. Upon entering, children are immediately captivated by the colorful tropical fish. Behind the huge glass wall, elegant jellyfish dance in the water, and mysterious sharks swim in the depths, like a vivid ocean documentary. The mermaid performance is the highlight of the visit. Beautiful mermaids swim through the water, interacting with the children, as if bringing fairy tales to life. The children were mesmerized. 🍱【Food Recommendations】 Family-friendly restaurants near Coastal City: Many family-friendly restaurants not only offer meals suitable for children's tastes, such as cutely shaped rice balls and cartoon-decorated cupcakes, but also have children's play areas, allowing parents to dine in peace while their children play. Coconut Chicken: A sweet coconut milk broth paired with tender chicken is both nutritious and delicious, perfect for children. You can also add some vegetables for a balanced meal. 💡【Tips】 Purchase attraction tickets online in advance to avoid queues and sometimes even enjoy discounts. Booking Shenzhen Safari Park tickets in advance is much more convenient. Bring a stroller for younger children. They can rest when they get tired, making things easier for parents. Strollers can also be used to store belongings in some parks. Prepare mosquito repellent for your children. Shenzhen has abundant vegetation, especially in outdoor attractions. Protect your children from mosquito bites to ensure they have a pleasant time. 🌟The kids had a wonderful time on this family trip, gaining knowledge and happiness.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival rarely coincided with the birthday of the elderly at home, went to Shenzhen's joyful coast to enjoy the moon, although the night is not refreshing, and occasionally a couple of heavy rain and rain, but can not stop the whole family, couples came here to take advantage of the lively, whether walking to there, to there to sit, how to eat dinner, the atmosphere is very pleasant. 😅 It's personal preference, not targeting anyone 🙏🙏

This aquarium in Shenzhen has been open for many years and is located on the second floor of Happy Coast Shopping Center in Nanshan District. Regarding ticket prices🎫, adults: normal ticket 70, night ticket 45; children: normal ticket 40, night ticket 25. The ticket price is relatively affordable, and the night show ticket is relatively worthwhile, but it feels like it’s too late and the fish have all gone off work hahaha, and the lights are rarely on and it’s very dim (but the photos will give a different feeling!). There are quite a lot of sights in the aquarium, but my favorite is the luminous jellyfish, which is super photogenic. There is a dreamy open-air roof in the middle of the walk. When you look up, you can see schools of fish swimming over your head. It is very healing! Suitable for bringing children to visit and see marine life~ #Shenzhen #ShenzhenAquarium #ShenzhenTourism

Shenzhen Happy Coast Ocean Dream Pavilion is located about a 10-minute walk from Exit E of Shenzhen Bay Park Station (near the Fantasy Land on the 2nd floor of Happy Coast Shopping Center). The atmosphere of the aquarium is great. It is recommended that you wear light-colored clothes or skirts, or JK uniforms to take photos. The effect will be better under the blue light! You can use props such as headphones, clothing, and bag accessories so that the photo-taking movements will not be too awkward. Special tip: The blue-white light near the tunnel of the last jellyfish tank is very suitable for taking frontal photos, and the photos are very clear; for other check-in points, you can take more side faces or silhouettes, which are full of atmosphere~ (We went on a weekday night show, the ticket price is more cost-effective and there are fewer people at night, which is suitable for taking photos). The venue is relatively small, so it is not recommended if you just want to see small marine animals! 💰The full-day ticket price is 70 yuan, and the night ticket price is 45 yuan. #Shenzhen #ShenzhenAquarium #ShenzhenTourism

Sea lions are super smart and cute😭They can clap, shoot hoops and dance~ But they are more suitable as early childhood education activities. #Shenzhen #ShenzhenHotel #ShenzhenTourism

Although the Shenzhen Ocean World is a little small, it is definitely not to be missed! There are a large number of jellyfish on display here, making people feel as if they are in a dreamy underwater world. 📸 Remember to wear bright-colored clothes for better photo effects, because the jellyfish here are so beautiful that they don’t even need filters! #Aquarium #HealingJellyfish #ShenzhenTourism

I discovered a new landmark that is very cool - Happy Coast! The street design here is so thoughtful, it feels like I have traveled to the poetic water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The flowing wine cups and winding waters of Qushui Bay give off an ancient feel in every frame. Water Show Starts at 9:30; performance time: 20:00-20:26, no performance on Mondays, except holidays. During the summer vacation from July to August, every Tuesday to Friday, the Happy Coast Water Show Theater will hold a mysterious and thrilling intangible cultural heritage "iron flower" and the dazzling modern fireworks. The ticket price is 69 yuan. Ocean Dreams The place is not big, but it is enough for taking photos and checking in. If you lower the exposure, you will discover a new world and it will be very photogenic. There are jellyfish and marine life here, and there are sea lion shows every day Tickets: Single ticket 60 yuan/ticket, package ticket (including sea lion show) retail price 100 yuan/ticket 【Plant】Me Mercedes-Benz Brand Experience Center Oh, I found a treasure! Did you know that Mercedes-Benz opened a restaurant? Did I hear it wrong? Just a cup of coffee and you can enjoy the beautiful lakeside view! This single-family building is right next to the Heart Lake. It's so beautiful~ It is a treasure trove for afternoon tea with girlfriends or confession of love on a date. The lakeside environment is super relaxing and so quiet that you don’t want to leave! (weekend destination) New Mercedes-Benz models are displayed here from time to time, because this is not a 4S store, but an official Mercedes-Benz showroom without sales. Here the car is a decoration, exquisitely decorated with classics, giving you more time and space to enjoy the real scene of food, chat with friends, slow down and enjoy life. You can also see the unobstructed fireworks show at night. It is very close and very clear. Come and check in! Subway station with the sea right outside Happy Coast is separated by Binhai Avenue, and the underground passage leads directly to the D2 exit of the popular "Shenzhen Bay Park"!

|Fall into the blue dream🫧. Blurred and dreamy bubbles Blue, jellyfish, fish and me - Although this aquarium is not very big, it is nice for taking photos. There are several areas that are more suitable 📷 Don't use the flash! NO! It is suitable to wear white clothes and headphones. It is recommended to go after 20 o'clock on weekdays when there will be fewer people. - 📍Shenzhen Happy Coast Entrance 🈺️10:00-22:00 📅Evening 45/person (entry at 18:00)

I recommend a romantic and fun place that is also great for taking amazing photos, and that is the Ocean Fantasy Pavilion. The Ocean Fantasy Pavilion covers an area of 3,300 square meters and is divided into five areas: AR Interactive Zone, Jellyfish Exhibition Area, Sea Lion Theater, Colorful Coral Home, and Dream Market. The most worthwhile places to check in: 1. Jellyfish Exhibition Area You must check in! Here, nearly 20 species of jellyfish are displayed in more than 30 tanks, each with its own unique shape and characteristics. Moreover, when you see the jellyfish dancing gracefully in the water, you will feel incredibly soothed, as if you could watch them all day without getting tired. 2. Colorful Coral Home The tank in the Coral Home is probably the largest in the entire venue, showcasing a real natural underwater environment. Here, you can not only see various colorful corals but also a variety of colorful marine fish. Next to the Dream Market You must also check in at the tank next to the Dream Market, because here you can see the huge sea turtles, as well as different colors of fighting fish and different types of goldfish. Photography tips: 1. The best shooting spots are the large and small viewing windows in the jellyfish and coral areas. These windows resemble those of subways, high-speed trains, airplanes, and submarines, giving the impression of riding a deep-sea train on an adventure. 2. For photos of jellyfish interacting with people, it is recommended to take pictures when the lights turn blue, purple, and white for a more atmospheric feel. 3. For a stronger sense of interaction, you can add hand movements, reaching out as if to touch the jellyfish or fish. 4. It is recommended to wear white or light-colored clothes or skirts, as they are easier to photograph. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and there were quite a few children in the pavilion, making it a bit noisy. The night session will not have as many children. However, if you want to take photos, it is still better to go during the day, as the lighting at night is much darker than during the day, giving a more mysterious feel, which is more suitable for a couple's date. I believe that going to the aquarium with a loved one is something every girl looks forward to. Why not take your other half to the Ocean Fantasy Pavilion for a romantic and unforgettable underwater date? 📍Detailed address: 2nd floor, west side of Happy Coast Shopping Center, Nanshan District Time: Monday 13:00-22:00; Tuesday to Friday and public holidays 10:00-22:00; Night session 18:00-22:00 Ocean Fantasy Pavilion: Adults ¥70 Children ¥40 Night session ¥45 Sea Lion Theater performance times: Monday 14:00, 16:00; Tuesday to Friday 11:00, 14:00, 16:00; Weekends and public holidays 11:00 13:00, 15:00 17:00 Ocean Fantasy Pavilion + Sea Lion Theater: Adults ¥110 Children ¥75
