“The aquarium is very underwhelming. I don’t think it is an actual aquarium since it only includes a big tank with the passage (which is approx 30M long), handful of penguins on the third level behind the sealed glass and jellyfish+other marine life. You can see all the fishes from the mall side without paying. This is the smallest aquarium I have been to.”
