Aquarium was very clean...

Aquarium was very clean and lots to look at. We were fortunate to be there right when they opened and did not have to wait long or deal with any crowds.

Nice experience while waiting on the ship

The view from the tower was amazing and the aquarium was nice. The instructions say meet at 10 but the tower opens at 11. We didn’t have enough time to complete the three event because we were going back to the ship at 3:30 and not enough time with all the walking that we did getting there

Really worth your time and money! So fun!!

We had a great time in so many of the venues. Sea Life, Wildlife & Madame Tussaud’s are right beside each other, so it was easy to do all 3 together. The tower was good also. You need more than one day to enjoy all the wonderful things.
