Underwater palace which houses almost six million litres of water and a reported 15,000 different types of sea creatures, the highlight of which for most is surely the various shark species patrolling the deep waters. They swim above you in the underwater tunnel or observation rooms.
Can get VERY busy and loud, so opt for getting there when it first opens at 9am (or go late - it closes at 11pm in the summer).
