    What a nice aquarium I like how you take care of the fish and how you explain about extinction.

    Went solo to AquaRio and wow, did NOT expect it to be this cooool. The tunnel with sharks swimming right above ur head? Wild. Stayed there forever just watching. Staff were patient with my million questions about the rays. Kinda pricey for snacks inside, but overall def worth a visit.

    Took my parents (they're in their 60s) and honestly, we all loved it. The tanks are HUGE and super clean, fish looked healthy. We went early on a Tuesday so barely any crowds. Only thing – couldn't take flash photos in certain areas, which was a bummer for my mom. Still, great afternoon!
