Fresh Water Aquarium

A quieter world beneath the surface

Fresh Water Aquarium shifts attention from the park’s broad land habitats to rivers, lakes and wetlands. The atmosphere becomes calmer, with subdued light and slow movement behind the glass. Fish and other freshwater life can be viewed at close range, revealing shapes, colours and ways of moving that are often difficult to notice in the wild.

The indoor setting also provides a welcome pause before returning to the tropical heat of the trails. It shows that the park’s wildlife story extends beyond large mammals and predators. This aquarium belongs to the historic land-based park and focuses specifically on freshwater ecosystems, remaining distinct from the experiences of the neighbouring marine park.
