All in all the experience was good. Only we had a small problem. We had booked the visit to the aquarium and the penguin bay. At first they didn't want to let us into the Penguin Bay because we had supposedly not booked it. But then we were able to clear that up and we could also look at the penguins.

If you would like to see many different fishes then YES go to the aquarium. If you would like to see something more like the shark ponds or penguins buy this add on ticket. Diving with the sharks is also an option (next time). If you are looking for the free visit, look at the aquarium from a slightly larger distance during the shopping.

This is great for any family or individual. I recommend adding one of the extras to see what goes on behind the scenes in relation to the work the aquarium does regarding feeding the many fish and other animals, the reproduction of some of the aquarium species, and how they help to protect the environment. My further recommendation is to take your time going through the aquarium and underwater zoo to fully appreciate what it has to offer.
