The booking system was very easy to use.The actual tour was well organised and the stadium and the museum staff we met were pleasant and helpful and added to our enjoyment .The free gifts were also appreciated which is something I haven't seen in any previous stadium tours.If I had a couple of issues they would be not accessing the home changing rooms and the cost of the souvenir photos. Apart from it was a worthwhile experience.

This is a great place architecturally and the main tank is terrific. I feel there are not enough satellite tanks around the edges - some hallways are long and empty. And the Forest Tanks st the beginning are neat, but have only a few dozen fish inside. It could all e so much better. Sigh.

Beautiful large aquarium with lots of fish species and sharks. Especially nice are the jellyfish and coral. I expected it to be bigger inside but mostly we were disappointed by the huge line to enter despite having purchased tickets online for a specific time. There needs to be improved organization for time slots for entry for those who have already purchased tickets

The oceanarium is great, it is a totally recommended plan for both children and adults. The only thing I missed was a part with turtles, it would have been perfect. As for the experience with Headout, I was very happy. I found it super easy to buy tickets and have access to them at all times (even offline). Arriving there just to present the barcode without waiting in line at the box office is a joy.

It was that overcrowed that i could barely see the small tanks.. also having this big tank in the center and have tens of spots for a glimse turned out to be boring. The outside venues were nice. I didnt see a sunfish that a poster got my attention. It was too hot. Maybe i would be more impressed if it was the first time in an aquarium.. anyway with 1/4 of poeple inside it would be way better.
