Shark-filled aquarium and water park built into a mock cargo ship

A combined aquarium, water park and dolphin show at the southern end of the Golden Mile. The aquarium is built into the hull of a mocked-up cargo ship and is genuinely good — sharks, rays, big tanks, and a walk-through tunnel — while Wet'n Wild next door is a full-scale water park with serious slides. Allow a full day if you have kids. There's also a small Zulu cultural village and an open-air shopping plaza on the same site.
