You get better deal and price if you book directly on the aquarium website. So, booking through Viator for this activity is not of any use.
This is a good experience. The wow factor is the huge aquarium that is free to see from the mall. The tanks inside are various sizes with different varieties of animals in aquariums, interesting reptiles, birds. There are a lot of people, very crowded, and not much info on what you are seeing and not much space to stop and view, needing to move with the flow of people. The huge crocs and penguins are good to see up close.
I did not enjoy this aquarium. It was disorganized and the tanks were not labeled telling you anything about the animals.
As aquariums go this was amazing, from the very start it was jaw dropping. To see such wonders of the deep close up was fantastic. To see the crocodile up close wow.
