The tour within the aquariaum was smooth and amazing, however ha ing a tour guide to provide expalntion to visitors would have add value a lot. Though at bthe ended on the rescue section were got well explantion on what they do and how they have saved, and feed animals, which was appealing aveyone. We booked tickects online but there was technical challenges and had to wait for long to get the tickets. Otherwise, it was good.

Dont bother with the glass bridge, total waste of money, its very short and green with algae so you cant see anything anyway

Spread across 10 thematic zones and covering an area of over 9,000 sq meters, prepare to gain an in-depth understanding and appreciation of our planet and its natural resources.
