Palau Aquarium (Palau International Coral Reef Center)
Palau International Coral Reef Center
A small aquarium in Koror that displays Palau's marine ecosystems by zone, from mangroves and lagoons to deep-sea drop-offs. It is a top educational choice on rainy days or before a boat trip.
The aquarium at the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) is toward Malakal Island in Koror. Its displays are arranged by zone: mangroves, seagrass beds, lagoons, the outer reef, and deep-sea drop-offs. Visitors can see giant clams, jellyfish, soft corals, and a variety of reef fish, along with displays on coral bleaching and conservation research. It is not large and can be seen in about an hour, making it suitable for families with children or for learning about the ecology of dive sites before heading out to sea. Admission is about USD 10, subject to confirmation on site. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from downtown Koror.
