$25 for the aquarium is little over the top. Very cool setup but seems a little high for as long as u are there. 45 minutes and extremely crowded even though they are trying to prevent that from happening.

5/5 - Excellent

Book the aquarium well in advance. The ferris wheel and zip line tickets can be bought on site without a long wait.
