<Hello, Mermaid!>
As Daegu's first aquarium, it boasts a rich variety of rare marine creatures, making exploration incredibly engaging.
From majestic manatees gracefully gliding through the water to adorable Humboldt penguins, you can encounter them all in one place.
Especially noteworthy are the Daegu Sea Cloud Bridge, which feels like walking on water, and the Sea Maze Aquarium, enhanced with dazzling lights and cutting-edge exhibition techniques, making it perfect for capturing unique photos.
Beyond marine life, you can also see cute small animals like otters and meerkats, which kept the children utterly captivated.
The highlights are the daily Hello, Mermaid underwater show and the Ocean Friends Feeding Show, held in the main tank.
The sight of beautiful mermaids swimming gracefully among the fish is quite enchanting even for adults, so I highly recommend catching it if your schedule allows.
Experience the fantastic mermaid show and meet a variety of marine life.
