As good as everything was, it was the energy and the knowledge of our tour guide that made the evening special Thank you Sharney.
Well laid out and has a large amount of fish. Exhibits are very modern and colourful, our grandchildren ,although young enjoyed it immensely, we watched the shark and ray feeding the guide was very informative in a fun way. Very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. THe first year we had a local's multitrip card, and this year we have not renewed it, but have visited at least 2 times. There is lots to see and do around the aquarium. Although not a full day of activities for small kids, you could definitely fill an afternoon before a flight or morning before checking into your hotel.
I was so surprised the place was super quiet, usually at aquariums you're trying to duck and weave through a heap of other tourists.
