Visitors to the aquarium can walk through a stunning underwater tunnel, which provides an immersive and up-close view of the many different species of fish swimming overhead. It's a magical experience that leaves visitors feeling as though they are walking on the bottom of the ocean itself.

The aquarium is home to a range of other incredible exhibits as well, including a seal sanctuary where visitors can get up close and personal with these charming creatures. The sanctuary is dedicated to the rehabilitation and care of seals that have been injured or abandoned, and visitors can learn about the important work that goes into protecting and conserving these amazing animals.

This allows visitors to get into the water with the seals and see them up close in their natural habitat. It's an experience that is sure to create lasting memories for visitors of all ages.

One of the most exciting parts of the aquarium is the touch pool, where visitors can interact with starfish and other sea creatures. It's a hands-on experience that kids in particular will love, and it's a great way to learn about the diverse range of marine life that can be found in our oceans.
