I liked that there was such a diversity of animals and that they seemed to be well cared for. I also liked that there was so much interesting information about the animals. What disappointed us a little was the dolphin exhibit, in the show each keeper did a different thing and you didn't know where to look.

Fantastic structure. Futuristic but quite contemporary. It restores a feeling of well-being due to the brightness and simple, soft lines. Huge spaces that envelop you and make you feel part of the greatness of Unanita. Definitely a beautiful experience. Impeccable organization.
