Anyway, it doesnt matter as the aquaria is an indoor actovaty. We were happy because we bought entrance tickets at a lower price. They were offering special price online, so we bought our tickets at RM28.It was quite a long queue at the ticketing counter. However, we didn't waited for too long...around 10 minutes or so...maybe we are just too excited to see the fishes.http://sayrachel.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-aquaria-story.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rachel)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619794184357313600.post-2714460641745990222Sun, 04 Aug 2013 08:42:00 +00002013-08-04T16:42:15.137+08:00It has been almost 2 years since the last post...maybe I should share some interesting places I've visited!
