SEA LIFE Busan Aquarium is a major tourist attraction in Busan that has welcomed over 15 million cumulative visitors. SEA LIFE Busan operates a total of eight Exhibition Hall featuring diverse marine life and showcases a vivid marine ecosystem through attractions such as the Shark Transparent Boat and a VR experience zone. Spanning from the first to the third basement levels, the facility is equipped with tanks and underwater tunnels tailored to specific themes, as well as amenities where visitors can experience everything about the underwater ecosystem. In 2014, internal renovations were carried out for rebranding, reconfiguring the facility to create a more animal-friendly environment, and new viewing facilities were added, including the Stingray Coast, Seahorse Kindergarten, and Shark Walk.
