SEA aquarium

yesterday went down to SEA aquarium at sentosa for the first time..... not really into fishes so didnt really had the urge to go down to the aquarium but this time we had discounted tickets ($25 for adults) cause there is this MOE family day & jiejie bought tickets for us.....for this special event, the aquarium closed at 6pm for general public & open from 6-10pm for the MOE event....
MOE family day

the tickets
special blue bands to distinguish the guests
this big ship like thing at entrance
once you entered the entrance, you will be greeted by this lion head thing.... probably give you the feel that you are on a voyage to see fishes =) then along the walkway there are some exhibits about the south east asia culture & customs... the actual aquarium is actually at basement, so you will  take the escalator down....& you will be greeted by the big fish tank...

school of fish

more fishes

there is this tunnel thing, just like the underwater world
the tunnel

there are fishes even below your feet

coral & fishes

my niece being more interested at the touch screen thing than the fishes

some smaller fish tank

& the fish name is old wife... like wth, what's the relation

there are 2 snacks bar inside the aquarium to grab something to munch on
we gotten blueberry & chocolate muffin.... average...
look at the amount of people....
fish tank nearby
 at the cafe area, is actually the dolphin display... but there was this mop of people hogging the tanks so we cant really see much.... but occasionally can see a dolphin swim pass =)

my niece fascinated by jellyfish
jellyfish
different species of jellyfish

& after walking for a distant... you will finally reached the limelight = the super GIANT fish tank....

the GIANT fish tank
it is really BIG.... you will see there is this yellowxblack line near the glass, the staff told us that we should stand behind the yellow line because the glass is 70cm thing & we cant see well when you get too close to the tank & is actually bad for eyes... didnt know that..... i think is actually quite nice to sit down & slack around the tank, looking at the fishes... kind of relaxing...

stingray

fishes
BIG stuff

more fishes

in the middle is the BIG fish that my niece called it lao po po
another giant fish

inside the tank really has ALOT of fishes.... & i am always so amazed that they wont eat each other..... next to the HUGE tank is the ocean dome...

souvenir store

the display behind the lion head ship thing
after seeing all the display it was like 8.30pm+, we were all tired to go out & find food so we just made do with the restaurant at the aquarium....

mushroom soup... quiche is super blend & dry

fish & chip... standard

softshell crab pasta... not nice

chicken wing....
i would say the food there is really just edible... similar to many amusement parks restaurants, normally they dont serve very nice food... but if you just want to fill your stomach then of cause it is fine.... in conclusion, i wont say the aquarium is AMAZING but the GIANT fish tank is pretty cool.... i guess if there wasnt the large amount of people, the visit would have been much more pleasant....
