We kept hearing about how awesome the Singapore aquarium was and since it was hot and humid outside, it made our list of things to do while exploring Sentosa Island.  Turns out the rumors were true… this place was awesome! Lots of fish in tanks as to be expected but the center of it was a gigantic tank full of sharks and rays and big fish.  Very cool. The sharks even swam overhead at some points.  We must have stayed there for an hour or more just watching the fish like a giant living aquatic lava lamp.

Turns out the first part of the aquarium was more of a history museum.  I really enjoy those so that was a nice surprise! Next up was the shark tank! (I will probably get the names of all of the sharks wrong… and then Jessica will yell at me. ) 😉
