Really cool exhibit . Many touch pools where you can touch starfish, sea anemones etc.

Go on a tour - the tour guides are excellent and this really brings the visit to life. Visit length with tour = 2 hours. (without, probably up to an hour).

We love Science Sundays, third Sunday of each month. Lectures by naturalists and researchers on marine science. We always learn something new.

Неплохой ресторанчик , наелся рыбы до отвала. Где они её столько берут? И не мешало бы прикрыть скелет у входа – отпугивает!
