Don’t go unless you want to watch animals being killed slowly. Quite a disturbing experience. Every exhibit is extremely overcrowded. You can tell by the animals reactions of panic, poor hygiene and unaddressed injuries. Everything was taken away by this experience by just seeing how clearly miserable all the animals were. I’ve never seen cruelty done so well. They were packing every species so tight. There were also absolutely no flash, no screaming, no touching or banging the glass signs. If there were they were clearly not enforced. Kids ran rampant and you could just tell it was a contributing factor to the abuse the aquatic life was facing. 1000’s of fish bigger then a basketball should not be shoved into a tank the size of a kitchen. 2 Octopus in a bookshelf. 3 dolphins in a living room. The last part was probably the most disturbing… the penguins. Right at the end to conclude how bad it really is there was around 15 penguins crammed in a little corner glass cage. Feces everywhere, very clearly a lot of injuries, missing feathers and infections. Sea otters are supposed to be full of energy and swimming. Not crawling in a corner. They look sick. Dying. The list of animals goes on.

Please don’t go here. My partner and I regret it. We felt sick leaving this place knowing we gave our money to this place. I’m never one to leave reviews but I...

The animals were in horrible condition. Small enclosures and dirty. The larger animals such as the dolphins were in small tanks with no enrichment what so ever, it was just an empty tank painted blue. Although there is a sign informing of how they are endangered etc. Three were kept in a small tank together swimming from side to side. One was all alone in another separate tank. They looked sad and stressed. We left before entering the part with the sea lions kept for entertainment as our stomachs were already churning. The penguins had just a little rock and were kept inside plastic walls. Area was probably no more than 8 square metres. Wish we did a quick search before entering and really regret leaving any money here. The oysters looked dead and there were many tortoises kept in a small tank where some had to swim at all time because there was not enough space. Most tanks where either too small or too crowded. This was even true for the insects. They all seemed stressed. All tanks were open with small kids hanging over them. All around a really bad experience, this place should not be kept open and we hope people...

Quite disturbing seeing the horrific conditions the animals were kept in. Bland, sterile tanks which were clearly much too small. The mammals have numerous injuries, likely suffered as a result of the poor conditions. Even most of the fish and other sea life were just in little boxes, without even enough room to swim around a bit. The octopus enclosure was little bigger than a breadbox, painted plain blue and only contained a few pots the octopuses were hiding in. There was little information about animal habitats or conservation, just a few facts about each creature presented only in Japanese. Really regret paying an entry fee here, as it's nothing short of supporting animal abuse.
