Visitors can explore six exhibit areas featuring a variety of aquatic life. The aquarium now includes new exhibits added after its 2021 reopening, offering engaging experiences for families and anyone interested in marine environments. It's a great indoor destination for a rainy day or a educational outing with kids.
