A Real Parent's Story
The shark swam right over his head
“Walking through the underwater tunnel, a 3-meter shark passed directly over our 4-year-old's head. His eyes went wide. He whispered 'Mama, did you see that?' Six times. We stood there for 20 minutes.”

Siam Ocean World is surprisingly impressive for a mall basement aquarium. The underwater tunnel is the highlight — it's long enough that you don't feel rushed. The shark diversity is excellent. Our son still talks about the 'big fish that flew over us.'
