More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through automatic doors and the humidity catches you like a salt-borne promise: light filters through curved glass, schools of fish slide overhead and a 105‑meter glass tunnel bends the ocean around you. Sharks and stingrays glide close enough to study their rhythm; jellyfish pulse like slow moons. The layout moves from shallow coral displays into the deep-tank tunnel, where currents seem to dare you to linger and the feeding shows punctuate the quiet.
