とにかく、演出が素敵でした。大人も楽しめると感じました。水槽のデザインも素敵でした。中が迷路みたいな感じなので、少し迷いました。エレベーターとエスカレーターがあるので、足腰の不自由な方でも大丈夫ですよ。 1Fの出口を出ると、食事ができました。スパゲッティもピザも美味しかったです。

それぞれのルームにテーマがあり、ただの水族館では味わえない体験ができる。チームラボ見たいな部屋もあれば、一見するとブックカフェみたいな部屋もあったりと面白い。デートにおすすめ。というか客層の6割はカップル。事前購入は近くの施設との共同購入で割引があるので、それらを購入するのがおすすめ。

期待しないで出掛けたら予想以上に良い場所でした！水族館と映えスポットを同時に体験できる施設でした。小学生くらいの子供も楽しめます。新しい施設なので、とにかくアクリル水槽もきれいで魚もよく見えます。
