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.

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.
