We loved visiting the aquarium, everything was incredible.... it was a shame we didn't get to see the shows at one we didn't get to in time because we had to go all the way back again. And the other one was too crowded and we didn't get in.... but otherwise everything was spectacular 😊

The whole thing is grandiose 👍👏👏 Manque de respect dans les queues Et entassement dans la salle pour les explications pour nourrir les poissons certaines personnes ne respectent pas les autres peut être dû à un manque de personnel manque de rigueur Take a leaf out of the puy du fou book It's not always easy to deal with disrespectful peopleLopez
