# Sunshine Aquarium

Marine Garden, the rooftop holding the Sky Penguins tank, comes last, after the indoor floors, and its grass is wide enough to run on. Inside, stepped seating faces the Sunshine Lagoon, where children settle in, one two-year-old for twenty minutes. Deeper in, Kurage Kukan's jellyfish tunnel is darkest, with chairs to linger in. Upstairs, the turtle tank meets a two-year-old's eye, and a low step raises a child to the Baikal seals. The loop runs about an hour and a half, so children reach the end without losing interest.
