Kuwait Aquarium

TSCK is a cultural achievement and educational facility enriched with knowledge, which portrays fascinating architectural design that reflects Islamic art and culture. The walls contain ceramic depictions of stories that tell of Kuwait’s history.

The main building is comprised of 3 main attractions: the Aquarium, Discovery Place and IMAX Theater.

Here we take a look at the Aquarium...

An entertaining journey into the aquarium takes you on a tour of 3 different environments. All three sections provide specimens of animal, plant, and marine life of that particular environment. The first walks you through the desert section which contains animals found in the desert such as the caracal, snake , and hedgehog. The next environment is the coastal edge, where you find animals such as penguins, otters and coastal fish. 

The third is the Marine environment which includes many tanks which hold reef sharks, rays, and fish in 100,000 liters of water. The main tank holds 1.5 million liters of water and contains deep sea sharks, turtles, fish and artificial corals. The divers at TSCK have the task of feeding the sharks and rays during scheduled live demonstrations.

The fossils located just before the exit of the aquarium and in the corridors of TSCK are a gift from Sheikh Sabah Al Jaber Al Sabah and Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah from their private collections. Other services provided for the visitors are privately guided tours and the “Dive with the Sharks” program.  This program allows visitors above 14 years of age who hold open water scuba diving license to dive side by side with the sharks in the main tank for 30 minutes.
