and houses over 100,000 marine animals of over 800 species in more than 60 million liters of water, making it the world's largest oceanarium.
You can now visit the two ticketed attractions at the Marine Life Park¡ªthe Southeast Asia Aquarium (S.E.A Aquarium), as well as the Adventure Cove Waterpark
¡ªeach requiring an admission fee of $20-29. The S.E.A Aquarium, the largest of its kind in the world, sets the standard for marine life and conservation education
in the region, offering an in-depth look at habitats the world over, including the African subcontinent. Its viewing panel, also the largest in the world, is said to be
a highlight and the centerpiece of the aquarium. The real jaw-dropper though, is probably the Adventure Cove Waterpark. It has Southeast Asia's first
hydro-magnetic coaster the Riptide Rocket (that takes riders upwards), and will introduce sharks feeding and interaction programs with Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins next year.

According to the Singapore Tourism Board, there have been 12 major launches in 3 years at the 49-hectare, integrated resort.

S.E.A. Aquarium, Marine Life Park
Readers may recall the Sentosa Island of the 1990s, which pales in comparison to today's RWS behemoth. The Genting Group-owned RWS is a model of successful, interdependent attraction and hospitality development - family-friendly, with a casino driving its economic engine - and its influence can be seen throughout the industry but particularly in Asia and the Middle East. In addition to Marine Life Park, RWS is home to Universal Studios Singapore, the Maritime Experiential Museum, Crane Dance, Lake of Dreams, six hotels, and much more (see additional news story links at end of article).
