A wonderful collection. The Beluga whales were not part of the show despite the website indicating they would be. You can still see them in their enclosure however.

It was nice to be able to stay right at the airport when we had flown in from overseas on a long flight and then had to fly out early the next morning

Aquarium has a lot to explore! Be sure to allow up to 3 hours of time in order to enjoy it.
3/5 - Okay

Don’t go on a weekend. It was so crowded that I couldn’t read the signs. I had people shoving their phones in my face while looking at exhibits. Lovely place though as long as you can avoid the crowd.
