Twice a year, at Golden Week and on Tokyo Day (october 31st) Tokyo Sea Life has free entrance. However, my advice is "Don't do it!" It was of course extremely crowded, and I couldn't even get near many of the aquarium windows. It is an impressive aquarium, and it would be much better to pay the entrance fee on a day when it is less crowded, and see it properly.

Visiting Tokyo Sea Life Park
Free entrance to aquarium in Edogawa during Golden Week

At least I could get close and personal with one fish
Part of the long, long, long queue with Tokyo Disneyland in the background
The queue approaching the glass dome which is the entrance to the aquarium building
Inside the glass dome
A tuna swims powerfully back and forth in his tank
If you don't dive, an aquarium is a wonderful way to see the mysterious underwater world
Spiny lobster also known as crayfish
Sea turtle
River fish
No way to get near this window!
I was impressed with the building and landscaping
Shallow infinity pools around the aquarium lead the eye toward the ocean
Carp streamers for Children's Day were fluttering in the sea breeze

I really enjoyed this aquarium. It's not too big, not too small and really well laid out. For a little more info you can check out my article here: https://en.japantravel.com/tokyo/tokyo-sea-life-park/5419 :)
