Great Weekend Spot, Though a Bit Small

Nice activity for children but a little bit small . It is not crowded on weekends.


Peaceful and Aesthetic Family Time

This experience was aesthetically pleasing and I derived great pleasure from it in the company of my family. There was an area designated for the feeding of the fish, which was a delightful spectacle to behold.

Well Maintained and Family Friendly Via Sea Aquarium is well maintained and worth visiting place. It is little for from Istanbul and preferably you need own transport. It is family place where you may spend 2/3 hours.
