Xun Hooi Chng
★★★★★6 months agoVery fun and informative. There were interactive stations scattered throughout the journey, which was engaging and fun. Luckily, it wasn't very crowded when I visited and I got to take a lot of photos of the fish. Some fish were hard to take photos of, and others were easy to take photos of. I'm quite happy with my photos. There were also toilets and water fountains at frequent intervals. The food is expansive, but pretty alright. I loved sitting down and watching the fish swim at the big tank, the music and atmosphere were very relaxing. The sharks were very chill.

★★★★★a month agoThe revamped SEA Aquarium to oceanarium was great. It is bigger than previous exibits and now has more touch screen to encourage self exploration and explanation of marine life. Me and my firends spend about2 hours inside learning about the fishes. Be careful some has tunnels that is 1.4m in height for children to see the tank from a different perspective. Overall a once and done experience.
