Meta review

This aquarium is quite well known internationally and is fairly well advertised, alongside the other RWS attractions. Visitors generally enjoy their visit, the highlight being the tunnel and massive viewing panel whilst the main drawbacks are the crowd and the size to price ratio.

Environmental & Social

On paper, the Aquarium helps in conservation efforts with ex-situ breeding of endangered species but the animals that got there in the first place were taken out of their natural habitat and flown to Singapore. RWS has some social policies and community engagement - details here: https://www.rwsentosa.com/en/rws-cares

Conclusion

If you can get past the price / debatable value and ethical issues then Sentosa's SEA Aquarium is really worth visiting. It is no longer the biggest, largest, etc. but the diversity of marine animals, the swerving sharks and gliding manta rays that visitors can observe in the main tank are truly memorable.
