Add Penguins: A Love Story 3D at the MG3D Theater for a visually stunning experience that complements your Aquarium visit.

In the afternoon, schedule a spa treatment while the rest of your group enjoys downtime at the pool. Wrap up the day with a sunset walk around the property and a peaceful evening in your freshly updated room.
