I took my sister and her kid to the aquarium and we enjoyed it as much as my niece. We literally became kids watching all the colourful fishes and were fascinated by the sheer variety and the number of fishes. The display of the jellyfish was the highlight was us. They were mesmerizing. A must not miss for that one for sure. We also loved the tunnel experience where the fishes swam overhead. Also the kids enjoyed touching the stingray

"A beautiful aquarium!!"

This was really fun to go through. A note of caution however: Friday night was SUPER-PACKED!! They had bars set up, servers and a live band! This was around 7:30 p.m. There was hardly any room to move and we really couldn't turn around and go back to see something we missed, just way too many people. But we still enjoyed seeing the sea life in this huge aquarium. If you want to do this at a more leisurely pace with less people around I would call and ask on what days that might be possible.

"Great Aquarium"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed July 16, 2019 NEW
We went on a weekday morning, and that was a great time to go as there was not allot of people there then. We had an outstanding time, this is one of the best aquariums that we have ever been to anywhere. There were some really cool interactive experiences, touching the small rays was really good, as well as being able to feel the different ocean water temperatures. The staff we encountered were all really friendly. All of the fish species that thy have there are really interesting and there is allot of information on all of them. They also have a really nice gift shop, with allot of unusual things that are not badly priced. A real must do.

"Great experience"

Not usually our type of thing but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The moving walkway that takes you through the tunnel under the fish was excellent. It was incredibly busy on the day we went which distracted from the enjoyment a bit but would still recommend.
