The Sumida Aquarium occupies floors 5 and 6 of the Tokyo Skytree Town mall and is one of Japan's most innovative aquariums, built around a giant 350,000-litre tank of open ocean that allows penguins to swim among fish in the same enclosure. Adult tickets are 2,300 JPY and children (3-15) 1,000 JPY (approx. 115-50 HKD). The penguin feeding show twice daily is the single most popular children's activity at any Tokyo aquarium according to TripAdvisor community votes. Combining the aquarium with a Skytree observation deck visit (2,100 JPY for floor 350) and the Solamachi shopping mall below makes for a superb full rainy-day family itinerary in the Asakusa area. The Asakusa Senso-ji Temple is a 10-minute walk away for a free cultural addition.
