The aquarium is separated into indoor and outdoor sections. The indoor section is relatively normal compared to other aquariums, but it is a good experience for the ticket price point. The outdoor portion is not as long but has some unique exhibitions woeth seeing. It is recommended that you check the outdoor while it's still bright outside, as there might be visibility issues if you go during the evening. There are also often special exhibition/collab here, so do check beforehand on their website for details.
Fantastic half day trip, lots to see here and plenty of diverse things to mesmerise and intrigue you. It's great value, situated on the top floor of sunshine city so you'll need to take the lift up but it's a beautiful space. Once you're inside, there are a couple of floors to explore and an outdoor area with coffee shop to have a drink. There are regular interactions between the animals and keepers here, so worth saving some time for the outdoor part.
This is one of the nicest aquariums I have seen. The glasses are very clean so you can clearly see the animals inside the aquarium. There is one area where you can see the penguins swim against a backdrop of buildings across the aquarium. You can also see the pelicans moving around, which was very unique. The aquarium is not that big but houses a good number of species and is just perfect for little kids.
