The aquarium was really impressive, especially the tunnel with all the fish swimming overhead. The guides were informative but sometimes spoke a bit fast. Overall, a fun outing that I would recommend but it feels a bit rushed.

Good visit, lots of marine life to see and the tanks are HUGE. The walk through the tunnel was the best part. Slightly crowded but still worth it for a couple of hours.

Great spot to see underwater creatures up close. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the schedule was a bit tight so not much time to relax. Definitely worth a visit though!
