Grand Aquarium - Your journey
at the Grand Aquarium may start at the sunny sea shore but will
quickly bring you to the darkest depths of the ocean floor! Before
you enter, you’ll already be able to hear the power of the ocean as
water roars through a blow hole!
Vibrant
corals undulate as you pass the spectacular coral tank and stroll
through a beach adorned with sand sculptures. At the touch pool,
children get hands-on experience with sea cucumbers and sea stars as
they develop an appreciation for sea life with all 5 senses at an
early age! Marvel at the beauty of a solar eclipse before you ‘dive’
deeper underwater, where bioluminescent creatures glow in the dark
and the mysterious shadows of fish flicker by your shoulder! Enter
the Reef Tunnel, where you will get a taste of the profoundly
beautiful ecosystem surrounding coral reefs. As you descend further
around a gigantic swirl tank, look up and admire the schooling
milkfish as they glitter like a kaleidoscope of stars! As you walk
through the bubble tunnel, remember to peer through the world’s
largest aquarium dome, which stands at an astounding 5.5m in
diameter! Then, take a final dive down into the abyss, where some of
the ocean’s most bizarre creatures live, before reaching the climax
of your journey – an awe-inspiring 13m wide acrylic viewing panel
behind which 5,000 fish from over 400 species meet you eye-to-eye!

Dragon up-close as it hurls fire across the water and the power of
