The aquarium was superb. However, the inclusion of penguins and large crocodiles in such confined spaces seemed unessecary and cruel. Detracted from the experience. The museum of the future was good, but admittance charge seemed excessive.

Moses greeted us at the entrance to the tunnel and walked the length of it with us, pointing out the fish and telling us about them - where they originate, what they eat, etc. Made us feel very welcome and special.
