点评:The aquarium has a lot to offer. I started with Zone A, and immediately I felt like I was transported to Australia with the blue penguins. Immediately after I was treated to a whole pirate themed tunnel. They created a story of a pirate called darkbeard searching for treasure, and they even gave descriptions of the animals you see as if he wrote them in pirate speak. At the end of the exhibit was a large event space for activities like games and scuba diver Q&As.
Zone B was small, just having a touch tank and penguin island, but zone C gave us a new kaleidoscope exhibit. It felt very open and spaced out, but a nice change of pace. Finally, Zone D was the main attraction with the hippos and sharks. I was amazed at how different the atmosphere was in Hippo Haven compared to Zone A’s pirate tunnel, and the shark walk was also immersive. Across the whole facility they played music to further immerse you. On my visit, they also had an armadillo out in an open pen for us to observe up close, the cutest thing yet.
I did have to travel far, but I’d say it was totally worth it. If they add just a few more things, such as a pinniped habitat, I’d have no problem calling it one of the top aquarium experiences in this side of the pacific.
翻译:水族馆精彩纷呈。我从A区开始,立刻感觉自己仿佛置身于澳大利亚,和蓝色企鹅们一起。紧接着,我被一条海盗主题隧道所吸引。他们创作了一个名叫“黑胡子”的海盗寻宝的故事,甚至还用海盗语言描述了这些动物。展览的尽头是一个大型活动空间,可以进行游戏和潜水员问答等活动。
B区很小,只有一个触摸池和企鹅岛,但C区新增了一个万花筒展览。它感觉非常开阔,空间感很强,但节奏感也得到了很好的改变。最后,D区是主要的景点,里面有河马和鲨鱼。我惊讶地发现,“河马天堂”的氛围与A区的海盗隧道截然不同,鲨鱼漫步也让人身临其境。整个馆内都播放着音乐,进一步增强了沉浸感。我去的时候,他们还在一个开放式围栏里养了一只犰狳让我们近距离观察,这真是迄今为止最可爱的小东西了。
我确实走了很远的路,但我觉得完全值得。如果他们能再增加一些设施,比如一个鳍足类动物的栖息地,我肯定会把它称为太平洋这边最棒的水族馆体验之一。
