Underwater world

Yesterday 26th June 2016 was the last day of operation for Underwater world. Past 25 years it has been in operation at Siloso point on the islamd of sentosa. It is one of the oldest attraction on the island that still surviving but still it closed down due to low attendance.

I manage to go on the last day of operation. Wasn't planning to go as I know the queue is madness but decide to go as I got lots of time to spare.

The ticket queue move very fast. I only queue for 10 mins before i enter the attractions. Been 10 years since I go. Lots of wonderful and painful memories. This where I bring my first girlfriend. Then now I bring my current 1 too.

Some of the exhibit is closed or already empty as they already move the fish to another country attraction. The dolphin lagoon has been closed earlier and now only left the oceanarium.

The oceanarium isn't huge like it neighbour but just nice to see those animals. I always love to see the fishes. To learn about them, how they survive in the ocean.

I remember having so fun on the travelator. Slowly moving and watch the fishes pass by in a tunnel. Unlike the bigger neighbour. Underwater world only have small tank and one long tunnel which you can walk orbuse the travelator.

The place look old but it still kept intact and in good condition. It has this nostalgic feeling about the place. This where school bring the students for visit to learn about the ocean. Parents bring their child to spent family time. Couple go on a date.

Will miss this attractions. Sad to see the attractions close. It really can't compete with the bigger neighbour which 3 times bigger and has more exhibit which the tickets cost slightly more.

Some people were happy it close cause they dont like animals been kept in captivity but how you going learn about our animals world. To see them and then protect them from extinction. I know not all animals can be kept in captivity but atleast we get to see and learn about them.

Many animal attraction do have a program to learn about them and help them to prevent from extinction.

Before Underwater world, in the 80s there a coral museum which too close down at sentosa. Not much left of yesteryear attraction at sentosa. Sad that all this attraction don't survive.

It wasn't great but it still fun and both adults and kids enjoy going. They have fun and spent the whole day as a family or friends gathering.

Hope Sentosa do something about their attraction as not much are left. Keep building hotel and nothing else to do.

Here are some of the pictures i took of Underwater world. I will post the video on youtube. Do look it up the link here soon.
