• By Annie Ruangamphan

  This is an excellent aquarium. There are many activities and many kinds of aquatic animals. Suitable to bring families and children to visit. There is an inside restaurant that can watch whale sharks closely which is free but must be booked and able to sit for 30 minutes. The external tribute has exhibited sea turtles and dolphins. There will be a dolphin show around. Which is free of charge.

• By Tong Yi Tsui

  Some aquariums are built for tourists, some for education, some for kids. This aquarium struck the perfect balance between all three demographics. The walking route is linear, so it's nearly impossible to get lost or separated from your kids. The tanks are numerous and nicely built. The fish are colorful and lively. Lots of interesting and interactive kiosks to attract the kids' attention. Free parking garages. Elevators take way too long. You're better off folding up your strollers and tell your kids to use the staircases.
