Sumida Aquarium features several immersive zones, including one of Japan's largest indoor open penguin pools, the hypnotic Big Schalish jellyfish display, and the cultural Edo-rium goldfish exhibit.

How should I plan my visit to the aquarium's attractions?

Review the feeding schedules and workshop times in advance. Prioritize the penguin zone during feeding times for an energetic show, or visit the jellyfish area later for a relaxing experience.
