Take a deep dive into Hanoi’s most exciting family attraction inside the gleaming Lotte Mall Westlake. From giant rays gliding above to hands-on pearl workshops, this aquarium delivers a full day of urban adventure.
Join us as we explore the brand-new Lotte Mall Westlake and its show-stopping Lotte World Aquarium — complete with sharks, rays, jellyfish, and plenty of kid-friendly fun.
Hanoi finally has a world-class aquarium to match its vibrant food and street culture. With over 30,000 marine creatures across 400 species, every turn reveals something new — from the neon coral reef tunnel to gliding sand tiger sharks.
You’ll find the aquarium on the B1 floor of Lotte Mall Westlake in Ba Đình District. Tickets start at approximately 290,000 VND for adults and 200,000 VND for children, with combo packages available for mall experiences. Weekday visits around lunchtime or early afternoon mean smaller crowds and shorter lines.
Grab a taxi or ride-hailing service straight to Lotte Mall Westlake. There’s ample basement parking for cars and bikes.
Aim for weekday lunches or early afternoons to enjoy the tunnels before the after-school rush.
Adults: ~290,000 VND
Kids: ~200,000 VND
Prices may change seasonally.
Whether you’re pairing it with a date night, keeping the kids entertained, or just cooling off after a morning of Hanoi street food, the Lotte World Aquarium is a refreshing addition to the city’s must-do list.
