点评:Visited this aquarium for the first time with a couple of my friends, and it was great….. until we got to the jellyfish touch pool. We were offered to touch the jellyfish, but we refused, because we have had jellies of our own (as pets) and we know how extremely sensitive and vulnerable they are to touch. Jellies have no immune system, and therefore they have no way of defending themselves against bacteria, germs, or oils introduced by humans. There’s also been loads of research on why jellyfish are not suitable for touch pools, and that research was proved right when we saw several holes in the moon jellies. We were made extremely uncomfortable when we saw the holes in the jellies, followed by the employee asking us if we would like to touch them. Absolutely not! Hope this place does better for its animals in the future, and since we can clearly tell they aren’t AZA certified, I hope they also start working towards that. Jellyfish with holes in them aren’t really the best experience when you go to the aquarium!
