Nestled into a hillside in Gooruembalchi, there is a fun store and fascinating attraction known as Splash Aquatics.
Each tier of the store features a different product in a natural setting. There is a swimming pool, outdoor ponds, fountains, and wildlife. My favorite area is the habi-domes with penguins, beavers, and sea turtles, but the store is more famous for its deep sea aquarium and walk through tunnel. They also offer SCUBA equipment and the opportunity to explore the deep sea tank from the inside.
Finally at the top tier of the store, there are aquarium supplies – tanks, gravel, fish, and decorations. For the truly adventurous, they offer pirahanas that claim to bite. I don’t want to find out!
The newest area of Splash Aquatics is just beyond the habi-domes. Snuggled into a grove of trees is a cinema offering wildlife videos. Next to that is ‘Liquid’, an event area available for rent with an intimate stage downstairs and a larger stage with dance floor upstairs.
This is a wonderful place to explore as well as shop. The owner realizes that and sprinkles the areas with cushions, chairs, and benches. A picnic with the penguins, anyone?
