The Antalya Aquarium opens at 09:00 and closes at 20:00 every day, and its glass tunnel runs 131 meters. Antalya Aquarium tickets come as gate entry, as a combo with the Wax Museum or as a tour with hotel pickup, and not every one of them includes Snow World.
The aquarium stands in Konyaaltı, 70 meters from the beach. Its FAQ says an online ticket stays valid for 10 days and that the hotel transfer can be booked only online.

What do Antalya Aquarium tickets cover?
A basic ticket covers the main aquarium in Konyaaltı. The Wax Museum, Snow World and other attractions share the site, and a combo ticket adds them. Antalya Aquarium tickets differ from seller to seller, so read what each one lists.
The aquarium opened on August 15 and took 260 days to build, as its own site tells it. The address is Dumlupınar Bulvarı, Arapsuyu neighborhood, number 502. Antalya Aquarium tickets admit you to a building 70 meters from Konyaaltı Beach. Its FAQ places it across from Dolphin Land and Su Hotel, close to the 5M Migros mall.
The aquarium site counts 40 thematic aquariums. The main feature is a tunnel 131 meters long and 3 meters wide. The site calls it the biggest tunnel aquarium in the world. The Wikipedia article on shark tunnels also gives 131 meters for Antalya.
The sources for Antalya Aquarium tickets do not agree on every number. A travel guide page with machine-translated text says the aquarium holds thousands of marine species. The counter on the aquarium site says 250.
That counter also prints 7.5 under the label million m³ water. A cubic meter holds 1,000 liters, so the counter and the FAQ cannot both be right. The FAQ says just over seven and a half million liters. The Wikipedia list of large aquariums says 7,500,000 liters, with 5,000,000 in the largest tank.
The home page files the attractions under one menu heading, Entertainment. The list names the aquarium, Snow World and Ice Museum, WildPark and the Face 2 Face Wax Museum. It adds Oceanride XD Cinema, VR 360 and the Sea Gift shop. The pages we read do not say which of these Antalya Aquarium tickets include at the gate.
A gate ticket and a ticket with an add-on are not the same product. Sellers of Antalya Aquarium tickets name the extra attractions in the title or in the list of inclusions. Look for these four items:
- The Wax Museum, named in the title or the list.
- Snow World and the Ice Museum, named on their own, as one travel site does.
- WildPark, Oceanride XD Cinema or VR 360, which the aquarium site lists as separate attractions.
- A hotel pickup or transfer, named in the title.
For a longer plan around the visit, our Turkey tours page has a section on Antalya and the Turquoise Coast. It is the page to open once your Antalya Aquarium tickets are sorted.
Which Antalya Aquarium tickets suit a short visit, a family day or a tour with pickup?
Antalya Aquarium tickets come as entry only, a Wax Museum combo, a tour with pickup or a city tour. Your time, your group and your transport decide which one fits. The listings below show what each one names.
Entry only is the gate ticket, the plainest of the Antalya Aquarium tickets. The online ticket block on the aquarium home page sorts visitors into three groups. Adults are 12 and older, children are 3 to 12, and babies from 0 to 2 go free. Age 12 sits in two groups.
The GetYourGuide frame for listing 839836 uses different bands. Adults are 12 to 99, children 3 to 11, and infants 2 and younger. A twelve-year-old counts as an adult there, so read the age bands of the ticket you buy.
The combo adds the Wax Museum. Listing 839836 sells these Antalya Aquarium tickets as an entry ticket with combo options. It holds a rating of 4.1 from 326 reviews. One travel site sells a ticket under a near-identical name. Its inclusions add Snow World and Ice Museum entry, so a title does not show every extra.
Listing 52824 sells an aquarium ticket with an optional hotel transfer. Its rating is 4.1 from 147 reviews. The frame lists no duration and no other attractions. Open the full listing to see what else these Antalya Aquarium tickets open.
Listing 1204261 is an aquarium tour with hotel pickup and combo options. Its rating is 3.7 from 71 reviews, below the listings above. Its feed shows no duration.
A ticket site lists a private tour from Alanya that bundles Antalya Aquarium tickets and hotel pickup. The same bundle adds entry to Face 2 Face Wax World, Snow World and the Ice Museum. It also names the Tropical House and Oceanride XD Cinema.
Listing 84783 is a city tour. The frame names the Düden and Kurşunlu waterfalls, a boat trip and the old town. It also flags the tour as a bestseller and scores 4.6 from 1,239 reviews. The frame never mentions the aquarium. Look for an aquarium stop on the full page before you count it among your Antalya Aquarium tickets.
A GetYourGuide search for Antalya aquarium also shows two half-day tours that name the aquarium. One is a private city tour with an aquarium visit, listed at 4 hours. The other pairs the aquarium with the Düden waterfall at sunset, listed at 4.5 hours.
- Short visit: listing 839836 shows 3 hours, the shortest duration shown among the listings here. The city tour, listing 84783, shows 4.5 to 5 hours.
- Family day: listings 839836 and 1204261 let children 2 and younger join free, but you must still add them to the booking. Listing 84783 counts age 7 and older as an adult.
- No car: listings 1204261 and 52824 name a hotel pickup or an optional transfer. The frames list no pickup areas, so ask the seller about your hotel.
- Rainy day: the aquarium site gives 15,000 square meters of indoor area out of 30,000 square meters in all. A travel site calls the combo an ideal indoor attraction for families and all-weather visits.
Two gaps remain in the sources. The ticket site of the aquarium loads its options with a script, and the text we read held none. The frames carry no list of inclusions. Compare the full listings, not the titles, before you choose among Antalya Aquarium tickets.
How do you book Antalya Aquarium tickets and get in on the day?
Antalya Aquarium tickets are sold on the aquarium’s own ticket site and through sellers such as GetYourGuide and Trip.com. The aquarium’s FAQ confirms that you can buy ahead, and its online tickets button starts the booking.
The FAQ describes one way to buy Antalya Aquarium tickets ahead. You press the online tickets button, and the system helps you choose and book. It says an online ticket is valid for 10 days. It adds that the hotel transfer can be booked only through online ticketing. It says nothing about buying at the gate.
GetYourGuide sells Antalya Aquarium tickets by type. The entry listing with the Wax Museum asks you to pick adults, children and infants, then to check availability. Its frame adds that children aged 2 and younger must still be added to the booking.
Each listing sets its own booking cut-off. The Wax Museum entry ticket needs a booking at least 9 hours ahead. The ticket with optional hotel transfer and the aquarium tour with pickup need at least 10 hours.
The aquarium’s FAQ says refunds exist for purchased Antalya Aquarium tickets. For a cancellation, it asks you to email the details. For a change, it asks for a call between 10:00 and 19:00. You can also email your confirmation number, your name and the change.
The frame for the Wax Museum entry shows the tag Free cancellation and gives no time window. A travel site lists a similar entry ticket. It states a full refund up to 24 hours ahead. Read the listing page before you pay for Antalya Aquarium tickets.
Sellers describe entry in plain terms. A seller of a private tour says the voucher is emailed and holds the redemption details. A travel site gives the meeting point for its combo as proceed directly to the aquarium. No source says how staff scan Antalya Aquarium tickets at the gate.
The aquarium’s site lists 09:00 to 20:00 every day. Its home page says the last entrance is at least 1 hour before closing. Its Visiting Hours page says 30 minutes. Trip.com shows admission ending at 7:30 PM. To fit all three, reach the gate with your Antalya Aquarium tickets by 19:00.
Visitors with Antalya Aquarium tickets pass a security check before the galleries. The FAQ bans guns, knives, matches, lighters, fishing poles, outside food, drinks and gum. No source gives queue lengths or quiet hours. The frames tag the entry ticket, the transfer ticket and the tour with pickup as Skip the line.
- Age bands: the aquarium’s home page lists adult 12 and over, child 3 to 12 and baby 0 to 2. The GetYourGuide frames list adult 12 to 99, child 3 to 11 and infant 2 and younger.
- Validity: the transfer ticket and the aquarium tour with pickup show 1 day on their frames.
- Traveller details: Trip.com’s steps ask for them and say to show an e-ticket and any required ID at the attraction.
- Cancellation: find the written time window on the listing page of your Antalya Aquarium tickets before you pay.
How do you reach the aquarium from the old town, Lara and the airport?
Your Antalya Aquarium tickets lead to one address in Konyaaltı: Dumlupınar Bulvarı, No. 502. Bus routes from Lara, the airport and the city bus station end at the 5M Migros stop. The aquarium’s page calls it walking distance.
The aquarium’s FAQ places it near Konyaaltı Beach, across from Dolphin Land and Su Hotel. It sits close to the 5M Migros mall and next to Minicity. The home page puts the beach 70 meters away.
From the old town, no source names a bus or a travel time to the gate. Trip.com lists distances only: Kaleiçi Old Town 4 km, Hadrian’s Gate 4.3 km and the Roman Harbour 3.8 km. Start there with Antalya Aquarium tickets, and the aquarium’s page says to ask a taxi company outside your hotel.
From Lara, the aquarium’s page sends guests with Antalya Aquarium tickets to the 5M Migros stop. They take buses KL08, LF09 or LF10. It calls the aquarium walking distance from that stop. No source gives the walk in minutes.
The aquarium’s site puts the airport 15 km away. Kundu is 22 km away and Belek 45 km. It names bus 600 or 800 from the airport to 5M Migros. Wikipedia puts the airport 13 km northeast of the city centre.
Wikipedia adds that route 600 links the airport with the city bus station. Route 800 links it with Lara. Havaş shuttles run between the airport and the 5M Migros mall. That suits a traveller who lands with Antalya Aquarium tickets in hand.
From the bus station, the aquarium’s page names TK36 or VF02 to 5M Migros. Belek and Alanya riders change at that station. Kundu riders take LC37 or LC73 to it first. From Kemer, take any bus to Antalya and get off at Su Hotel, opposite the aquarium.
The same page lists a sea bus from Kemer at 10:30, 13:30 and 17:30 to the yacht harbour. Then take bus UC11-A from Cumhuriyet street. Get off at the Dumlupınar junction, a walk from the gate.
Three listings for Antalya Aquarium tickets add a ride. The transfer ticket states a round trip from Belek, Antalya or Kemer. The tour listing says entry plus hotel transfer and names no pickup areas. The frames carry a Pickup available tag and no meeting point.
A seller of a private tour from Alanya says the pickup is at your hotel’s main security gate. Pickup times differ by hotel, so you reconfirm with the provider by WhatsApp or email. It also says no public transport runs nearby. The aquarium’s page lists bus routes within walking distance, so the two sources differ.
Driving to the gate with Antalya Aquarium tickets? The FAQ lists three outdoor car parks. One is for the big vehicles of travel agencies. The other two, on the north and south sides, are for regular use. It also lists parking for guests with a disability. No source gives the number of spaces.
No source names a tram stop for the aquarium. Check the transport page before you travel with Antalya Aquarium tickets, because it lists routes from seven starting points.
What is inside the aquarium, Snow World and the Wax Museum?
Antalya Aquarium tickets lead first through 40 thematic aquariums and then into the tunnel, says the aquarium’s own site. Snow World, the Wild Park, the Face 2 Face Wax Museum and an XD cinema share the same complex.
A ticket site describes themed zones built around coral reefs, rainforests and the lost city of Atlantis. It names sharks, rays and moray eels. The same listing mentions a sunken shipwreck and an airplane inside the tunnel. A travel site adds models of shipwrecks and submarines.
The home page lists a daily program of show dives, fish feeding and shark feeding. It puts show dives at 11:00, 13:30 and 15:30. It also shows an every-day shark feed at 12:00 in one box and 13:30 in another.
The aquarium’s FAQ says there is no set feeding schedule and tells visitors to phone for times. A ticket site also says feeding demonstration times vary, so check on arrival. Treat the home page times as a guide only when you plan around Antalya Aquarium tickets for a set day.
Snow World covers 1,500 square meters indoors, says the aquarium’s site. It holds igloos, a house of St. Nicholas and cafes. The entry gives out protective clothing. The page gives minus 5 degrees Celsius inside while it is 40 degrees outside.
Machines spray fine water drops under high pressure, and the drops freeze into snowflakes. Visitors make snowballs from this snow. One seller adds an Ice Museum with carved ice forms. Check the listing, because not every one of the Antalya Aquarium tickets covers Snow World.
The Wild Park sits on the terrace floor and holds terrariums. The aquarium’s FAQ names snakes, reptiles, spiders and scorpions. The page says the animals are experts in camouflage, so look at each terrarium until you spot the creature. It asks visitors not to knock on the glass.
A GetYourGuide combo listing names the Wild Park beside Snow World and the Wax Museum among its Antalya Aquarium tickets.
The Face 2 Face Wax Museum is on the same terrace floor. It fills 1,000 square meters indoors with more than 50 celebrity figures. The aquarium’s site says makers used a silicone injection technique. Visitors take selfies with the figures. Antalya Aquarium tickets that add the Wax Museum cover this stop, and one ticket site lists its entry as included.
The Oceanride XD Cinema runs an 8-minute ride based on 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. VR 360 shows Antalya sights from the sky in 5 minutes. The Sea Gift shop sits at the end of the visit and opens seven days a week.
The aquarium’s FAQ lists McDonald’s, Mado Patisserie and Cafe Artizan on the rooftop. The home page adds GeLatte ice cream and souvenir photos on Hollywood green screen backgrounds. Two ticket listings show food and drinks as not included in Antalya Aquarium tickets.
The aquarium’s FAQ gives a time for each stop:
- The tunnel aquarium sections take 1 to 2 hours.
- Snow World and the Ice Museum take about an hour.
- The Wild Park takes 20 to 30 minutes.
- The Oceanride XD Cinema takes 8 to 10 minutes.
The same FAQ suggests 3 to 5 hours for a full day with shopping and a meal. Trip.com recommends 1 to 3 hours of sightseeing. A GetYourGuide listing for aquarium and Wax Museum entry shows 3 hours. Pick the total that matches the stops on your Antalya Aquarium tickets.
What do visitors ask about Antalya Aquarium tickets?
Antalya Aquarium tickets raise six practical questions: Snow World, children, winter, pushchairs, photos and rain. Each answer comes from the aquarium’s own pages or a ticket site. It says where no source gives a rule.
Do Antalya Aquarium tickets include Snow World?
Not always. One ticket site covers the aquarium and the Wax Museum only. It lists Snow World, the Reptile House and the XD Cinema as not included. A private tour listing on another site bundles all of them.
Can children use Antalya Aquarium tickets?
Yes. Antalya Aquarium tickets come in baby, child and adult bands, and the age limits differ. The home page lists baby as 0 to 2 and child as 3 to 12. The attraction pages list 0 to 4 and 4 to 12.
Is the aquarium open in winter?
The aquarium’s FAQ calls April to November its high season. None of the pages checked names a winter closing date. Ask the aquarium before you travel, because the sources give no winter rule.
Can you take a pushchair or wheelchair into the aquarium?
Yes. The aquarium’s site says visitors can stroll with pushchairs. It lends free wheelchairs on a first-come basis and takes no wheelchair reservations. A tour seller also calls its experience stroller and wheelchair accessible.
Can you take photos?
Yes, for personal use and without flash, because the animals react to light. Editorial photography needs written permission from Public Relations. The Wild Park page forbids photographs in its Fear Trophy area.
Do Antalya Aquarium tickets work on a rainy day?
A ticket site calls the aquarium an ideal indoor attraction for all-weather visits. The pages checked attach no rain closure rule to Antalya Aquarium tickets.
