These marine animals play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem in our oceans and Shark Week is a great opportunity for us to enrich our guests’ knowledge by providing opportunities for them to observe and learn more about the different shark species at our marine life theme park.”
Guests will embark on an unforgettable journey with the Shark Week Passport.
