Bobby Fish Treasure Hunt

For the youngest visitors, a free Bobby Fish hunt is available at the reception. Bobby Fish is hidden at various locations throughout the experience center. Can you find them all? A fun or tasty surprise awaits you at the reception. In addition to the scavenger hunt, a drawing table is available for children in the experience center.
The drawing table

Once the children have found all the Bobby Fish and want to explore the experience center again, there is a large drawing table where they can color various sea animals. These drawings then “come to life” in the magical aquarium. Curious to see how it works?
