★★★★★3 months agoHad a really great time at this aquarium! Everything was well maintained and enjoyable. The highlight for me was definitely the mermaid show—it was beautiful, fun to watch, and something different from the usual aquarium experience. Overall, a great place to visit, especially if you’re going with kids ! 😊
