It's out of town too bad and at the exit of the aquarium no signage to leave by transport to the center ..... A car park just in front for cars Otherwise my 12 year old son loved the aquarium .. the team is smiling and available. The must at the end we can caress rays, sea cucumbers and starfish

First of, people are not really welcoming. Second, the aquarium is so small, poor fishes, they don’t have enough space. Third never got the snack at the snack bar (it was closed). The whole experience was terrible. I really wasted my money.
