SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium
씨라이프 코엑스 아쿠아리움
Nobody should pay the gate price. The operator's own site sells the same adult ticket at a standing discount and drops it further on selected dates, so the number to plan around is the online one, booked before you arrive.

Nearby
Starfield Library
It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.
COEX Convention & Exhibition Center
The exhibition and convention centre at Samseong, whose halls and auditorium host fan meetings and awards shows. It is a separate operation from the Starfield COEX Mall and the aquarium in the same underground complex.
Starfield COEX Mall
A shopping mall laid out beneath the trade centre complex in Samseong-dong. The library and the aquarium both sit inside it, so three of this registry's places share one building.
Bongeunsa Temple
The temple publishes no opening hours and no admission fee anywhere on its own site. What it does publish hours for is the bakery, the noodle canteen, the Buddhist-goods shop and the florist — which is a fair description of how the grounds are actually used.
Frequently asked questions
How much is admission to COEX Aquarium?
The list price at the door is 35,000 won for adults and 31,000 for children aged 36 months to 12 years. The operator's own online price is 28,000 for adults and 25,000 for children.
Can I get it cheaper?
The booking calendar prices each date individually, and when this was checked in August 2026 there were dates starting from 15,500 won. That is a separate date-dependent price matching none of the listed products, so check your own travel date. A 50% birthday discount was also running.
Is SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium a different place from COEX Aquarium?
No, it is the same venue. SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium is the current official name; travel writing still widely uses COEX Aquarium.
Stories about this place
- Four Places to Visit Around Gangnam and COEX: Starfield Library, COEX Aquarium, Bongeunsa and Seonjeongneung
Four places within one block of COEX, compared on what you see, whether they are indoors and how each one closes. Only Bongeunsa has no gate to shut; the other three close on three different axes — the day of the week, the season and the clock.
