Acquario bellissimo,ricco di specie e una buona riproduzione degli habitat. Ho messo 3 stelle perché veramente troppa gente, facevamo fatica ad avvicinarsi alle vasche. Dovrebbero essere gestite diversamentee entrate

The place is well preserved and the variety of species is really big. The services are also well located so tou can have a drink or eat a snack between some sections.
