This is a great place for a family trip. After purchasing tickets online through KLOOK and completing payment, you'll need to exchange your online voucher for a physical ticket at the ticket counter before entering. The aquarium isn't particularly large, but it houses a wide variety of marine life. There are also some shows, such as penguin feeding and dolphin performances. Inside the aquarium, there's a dining area that offers simple ramen, curry rice, and fried foods, which is quite convenient. Outside, there are small playground equipments where children can burn off some energy.

The exhibition hall is quite large. We went during the Crab Festival-themed exhibition, and there were also dolphin shows and penguin feeding sessions. The kids were very happy. It's a recommended location.
