It was so amazing, and i learnt so much - all about the planet, our water and melting glaciers. I learnt about the sea life n the ecological role it plays. Learnt about the birds and the land animals. The effects were amazing. Loved the lava show, the aurora show and the ice caves. Not to mention how amazing the observation deck was. Truly spectacular. Staff were so helpful - even called a taxi for me. An outstanding experience from start to finish - thank you
