Aquarium invites you on a wondrous journey of discovery where you will get to meet some of the most fascinating tropical marine animals – like the intelligent reef manta ray and the stealthy slingjaw wrasse.

You will also be able to witness aquarists feeding the marine animals and catch any one of the three adorable manta ray mascots decked out in colourful island costumes. Before you leave though head over to the special photo zone where you can “transform” into a tiki for a snapshot to remember your visit.
