Surprisely good aquarium

What a surprise this aquarium was! From the outside look of it, we almost bypassed this attractions but so glad we didn't. Somewhat pricey at 17/adults.

The new layout expertly hoses parental pockets by positioning gift shops and snack counters everywhere, but lacks adequate lighting to read signs explaining exhibits. ... superiorlines, a user of Tripadvisor.
