year to see “a magical world, full of mystery”. Or, to be more precise, to see eleven thou-
sand fish and sea creatures in 35 themed tanks representing underwater caves, tidal areas,
tropical reefs and other maritime habitats. It's vastly overpriced and, despite the claims of
excellence, it offers few new experiences, save perhaps the eighty-metre-long walk-through
underwater tunnel which brings you face to face with gliding rays and cruising sharks. Some

even more of your money.
