My kids had a great time surrounded by so many tropical fish. They were thrilled the whole time, whether diving in the Blue Grotto or feeding the fish, and as a parent, I really appreciated that showers and lockers were provided. If I had to mention one thing, the changing rooms were a bit crowded, so it might be a good idea to visit at a different time of day. The photos made for a wonderful keepsake.
