RWS S.E.A Aquarium

Touted to have the largest viewing panel of any aquarium in the world, the Ocean habitat contains about 7 olympic sized pools and home to 120 species. The Manta Rays were beautiful to observe through the waters and its also home to the viewing panel for Ocean Restaurant  featuring modern-European cuisine.

However overall the whole experience lacked luster and the wear on the displays kinda showed. In some sections, air-conditioning was a little weak and aquarium displays were a little sparse. The base of some of the enclosures could have worked well with gravel rather than the flat flooring.

The S.E.A Aquarium, will be re-branding into the Oceanarium in 2024 to be three times bigger and think it would be much better for it. A fun time overall, but lacking the display punch as compared to even the displays at the Singapore Zoo’s River Safari.

Not overwhelmingly great. Though their species range was wide, there was a huge distinct lack of easy access signage to learn about said species. Even in the shark tank, most of the fishes were repetitive with no distinct Alphas to really draw in the experience. Even over at the touch pools, there was only one star fish for interaction.

- Tokyo Sea Life Park known for their Tuna Tank which was mesmerizing!
- Monterey Bay Aquarium. One of the best curated and interactive display of sea-life experienced thus far. A must visit!
