点评:As a wildlife rehabber and a lover of the sea, I had high hopes for Polaria and thought it would be one of the highlights of our trip. Unfortunately, it left me a little underwhelmed and ended up being a bit of a mixed bag.
Firstly, the aquarium was undergoing maintenance and only the bearded seals were on display. They were adorable and we spent quite a long time watching them play and splash around. We returned to the seal pool at feeding time but found that it was so crowded, it was a struggle to reach the top of the stairs. We couldn’t see anything so didn’t stay for the feeding display. We did really like that we could also see the seals under the water and really loved standing in the tunnel and watching their cheeky faces swim above our heads.
The fish pools were fun and I loved the unique looking flat fish. The fish all looked healthy and active which is always nice to see.
The informative displays around the aquarium were really interesting and we enjoyed looking at them, interacting with the exhibits and absorbing the information.
We watched short film in the cinema but it kept skipping and the audio ended up totally out of sync from the film.
The cafe upstairs was closed and screened off. There were signs on the tables saying we could purchase drinks and food from the gift shop downstairs. The selection was very small but what they did have was nice and fresh.
All in all, we did enjoy our visit to Polaria but it did feel quite overpriced considering many of the animals and things to do were unavailable to us. It was enjoyable, but we probably wouldn’t make a return trip, at least until the building work is completely anyway.

首先,水族馆正在维修,只有胡须海豹在展出。它们很可爱,我们花了很长时间看它们玩耍和嬉戏。我们在喂食时间回到海豹池,但发现那里太拥挤了,很难爬到楼梯顶部。我们什么也看不到,所以没有留下来观看喂食表演。我们真的很喜欢我们还能看到水下的海豹,真的很喜欢站在隧道里,看着它们俏皮的脸在我们头顶上游动。
鱼池很有趣,我喜欢那些长相独特的扁平鱼。这些鱼看起来都很健康、活跃,这总是令人高兴的。
水族馆周围的信息展示非常有趣,我们喜欢看它们,与展品互动并吸收信息。
我们在电影院看了短片,但电影一直在跳转,音频最终与电影完全不同步。
楼上的咖啡馆关门了,用屏风隔开了。桌子上有标志,说我们可以从楼下的礼品店购买饮料和食物。选择很少,但他们确实有好吃又新鲜的。
总而言之,我们确实很享受对 Polaria 的访问,但考虑到许多动物和活动对我们来说都不可用,确实感觉价格过高。这很愉快,但我们可能不会再来,至少在建筑工作完成之前不会。
