Just a few weeks ago I visited this amazing aquarium. Finding the aquarium is a bit challenging because google maps will lead you to a hotel near the aquarium itself. However for anyone that can find the London Eye it is just across from it.
Admission is 25.20 British Pounds or 43 USD which is a little steep but because the dollar is weak to most European currency it just costs more to do anything outside of the US these days.
I found the layout interesting because once you enter you must follow one straight line from beginning to end and going backward is difficult.
The aquarium has a lot of great exhibits and of course I mostly paid attention to saltwater animals.
I found it interesting that the aquarium promotes breeding. Many of the public aquariums just take animals from the wild and are proud of their books of species. Here they talked about breeding over 6000 animals. Aside from Norton Chan in Hawaii I have not seen this before but think that conservation and breeding should be a part of any public display.
You walk through a tunnel shark display which terrified one poor little girl.
Here are a few more pictures from my visit:
I would encourage anyone who likes public aquariums to add this one to their list.
