It was an amazing experience. The aquarium was way bigger than originally thought and very cool. So many different and cool fish to look at with so many cool facts and information about what we were looking at. The tower was awesome as well. The view from up above was spectacular and such a beauty to look at. Being able to see above the city and see how far out it goes was something that makes you appreciate nature and human infrastructure. Also thought it was cool how they had the cities of the world at the top and how far it was from the tower. Would recommend these two locations to everyone.

I went to the aquarium with my 5-year-old daughter. It was really lovely—interesting for her, but also for me. It had a cozy, pleasant atmosphere where you’d love to spend time with your kids. The show was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended!
