Beautiful aquarium. The entrance was smooth: youre greeted by the personnel who guide you according to the type of ticket you get (theres tickets for only the aquarium, which were the ones we got, but there are other additional places you can visit for an extra, such as the wax museum) Theres tons of different species and key spots to take beautiful photos and videos (such as the colorful jellyfish tank or the piranha tank where you can take a cool 360• pic/vid). The route along the aquarium is siglanised properly. Theres also key information regarding each species on a plaque next to their enclosure.

It's an excellent alternative for rainy days. The staff are very friendly, waiting for you at the entrance and guiding you along all the paths, of which there are several. We were able to satisfy our hunger along the trail and the exhibition is wonderful, with many species that left us amazed.

The variety of fish is incredible, the large aquarium tunnel where you can blend in with all the different species of fish. What impressed me most was the explanation of coral, how it forms, how it is destroyed, how beautiful it is, and how we must protect it. My family had a great time.

We attended as a family on 2-1-26, it is a well signposted and orderly place, the entrance and the tour was very expeditious with the necessary time to observe each aquarium quietly. The aquarium has a great diversity of species highlighting the rays and corals.

Everything was very tidy; the aquarium was spotless, and everything—from the staff to the baby changing stations—was very clean.
