S.E.A. Aquarium (Temporarily closed)

Get ready to be mesmerized by the underwater world. The S.E.A. Aquarium is one of the largest in the world, and the Open Ocean Tank is simply breathtaking. I could spend ages just watching the majestic manta rays and sharks glide by. It's a fantastic experience for all ages.

The current S.E.A. Aquarium (soon expanding into the Singapore Oceanarium) features over 100,000 marine creatures, including majestic manta rays and a giant Pacific octopus. The Open Ocean Habitat’s floor-to-ceiling glass panel is awe-inspiring
