About
त्वरित तथ्य: A massive central tank houses a graceful whale shark that glides through deep-blue water, giving visitors the dizzying sensation of floating beside a creature from the open ocean. Wander the spiraling galleries and expect sudden, intimate encounters with playful otters, luminous jellyfish and hands-on touch pools that make the whole visit feel alive and unexpectedly personal.
मुख्य आकर्षण: You glide up a glass-walled ramp past 15 habitat tanks, each lit with a different color so the water changes from dusky purple to neon blue, until you face a 5.4 million-liter central tank where a gentle whale shark floats like a slow, living submarine. At feeding time divers slip into the tank with torches and handfuls of sardines, the sound of clapping muffled by water and a silver rain of food that sends rays and schools of fish arcing around the shark in a ballet you can feel in your chest.
Insider tips
- Start at the top floor and follow the downward route to see the central Pacific tank and whale sharks from multiple levels.
- Arrive 15 minutes before scheduled feeding shows to secure a front-row view and better photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes, the exhibit spirals and includes several ramps and stairs.
- Skip peak weekend hours if possible, or visit late on rainy weekdays when local crowds are low.
