I was able to find 23 lists of the best aquariums worldwide. Lists that were just for one country or continent were omitted. I took the 23 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every aquarium. I ended up averaging the rankings each one got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.

The aquariums that were on the most lists (out of 23) were:

  • Georgia Aquarium – Atlanta, GA, USA – 19 lists
  • L’Oceanogràfic – Valencia, Spain – 16 lists
  • S.E.A. Aquarium – Singapore – 15 lists
  • Dubai Aquarium – Dubai, UAE – 15 lists
  • Monterey Bay Aquarium – Monterey, CA, USA – 14 lists
  • Lisbon Oceanarium – Lisbon, Portugal – 12 lists

Here are links to the lists I used along with dates the lists were created:
