Underwater Observatory Park

A real fun place for kids, but also for the sea animal lovers. We had a guided tour and it was perfect and well explained. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would have enjoyed more if the glasses were a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, it was fun. PS: The 3D movie was cherry on the top

Good for little kids, probably less for older ones. The place is trying hard to remain relevant. The underwater observetory is a little old and not really that impressive anymore. However you also get an impressive shark pool and some stingray and sea turtles exhibits. The 3d movie was impressive (but short. 18 min total). I've certainly been to better aquariums, but this is decent and good for kids.

Wonderful. From walking through the lively coral reef to the 3D cinema which is unlike any other I have witnessed. The screen goes above the head so that it can be protected from any point in the room and looks like the whole is above you. This place is a must see for young and old. It is a beautifully maintained park, with a big variety of coral. The underwater observatory is absolutely amazing. The water of the red see is also accommodating the coral beautifully. The aqua dome is also an experience like none other. The whole is turned into a 3D video and it literally feels like you are under the ocean and touching the sea life yourself. Great place to visit, both educational and fun. its really impressive to see all the unique creatures that live in the ocean. dedicate at least several hours to the visit.

We’ve been to aquariums all over the world and this isn’t the glossiest or the most high tech. But my kids love it and beg to come back every time we are in Eilat. There’s lots of different things to do that keep everyone entertained and you cannot beat seeing fish in their actual habitat. We love this charming little place. The 3-D movie was a huge hit!

What a great chance to sit and watch fish for hours! Between the underwater observatory and the aquarium we were really pleased with the experience. Go early for quieter viewing without crowds. There was plenty of parking when they first opened.

Would spend there all day. An established place, but it keeps renovating all the time. The shark aquarium is so relaxing and exiting at the same time! The underwater observatory facility is a must. Note- a single ticket is good for a couple of days, so if you want to visit more than once (and you should) plan accordingly.

It is very expensive. The tanks are too small for the large number of fish and turtles. In addition, the glass on the tanks is dirty everywhere, making it difficult to see properly. This needs to be cleaned urgently. The grounds are small overall and half of the attractions consist of films. It is not a must-see.

We spent the whole day, ~7 hours, so there's lots to do there. I won't give it a 5 star since some things definitely need more love. We saw all the exhibits, there's really a good wide variety and selection of sea creatures, most endemic to Eilat. The highlight must be the shark tank, it has multiple viewing windows, plenty of room, probably the nicest tank I've seen. They feed them twice daily - go to the second feeding! (3pm) it far less crowded. There's a tube to walk under the fish and rays, beautiful. There are also turtles and "rare creatures" (which we didn't find very "rare"). The "deep sea creatures" exhibit is only videos. The lowest point must be the "IMAX", the movie is short, although the 3D effect is cool (kids loved it), but the narration (Heb only) is unintelligible, the content is boring, and they play a "generic" 3D flick. The underwater structure is very nice, but many windows are way too high for a 3-4 y/o to see anything without carrying them 💪, still it's very worth the while (climb up to see the overlook). It's a good place to spend a few hours, it doesn't break the bank, and kids will like it.
