About

Quick facts: Step into a clear acrylic tunnel and watch fish and rays drift silently overhead, a favorite spot for dramatic photos. More than 200 species are displayed across marine and freshwater tanks, so you can spot tiny neon-colored reef fish and bulky stingrays in one stroll.

Highlights: A 15-meter acrylic tunnel arches under a massive tank, giving the uncanny sensation of sharks and stingrays gliding inches above your head while filtered water hums around you. Keeper demonstrations add theater: penguins paddle and clamorous splashes punctuate feeding times, making the gallery feel like a backstage pass to marine life.

Insider tips

Wear light, breathable clothes and comfortable shoes, the exhibits are air-conditioned but you may spend time outdoors at the entrance.
Use the acrylic tunnel as the prime photo spot, aim for off-peak times for clearer shots without reflections.
Ask at the ticket desk for the daily feeding and show schedule, plan your route to be at the exhibits during those times.
Skip the busiest midday hours on weekends and public holidays, instead visit just after opening or within the last hour before closing.
