I know that sometimes the 'theming' of an exhibit can be divisive, but this is a spectacular-looking whale habitat. I'm on the fence when it comes to cetacean captivity, but as a visitor I'd probably be awed.
 
Spectacular looking maybe, but is it big enough? It’s hard to tell from this angle.
 
It's definitely the best of the six exhibits I've seen in Asia. There are two other pools so I guess this represents about 40% of the total surface area? Whether it's truly 'big enough' is obviously subjective, but it didn't seemed cramped for the thirteen (!) animals they have.
 
It looks a bit like the set for Pirates of the Caribbean: the Arctic Adventure. All that fake snow, and a mocked up old sailing ship? No thank you!
 
So when I visited in September 2018 I am adamant that I counted at least 13. Were you told the number 10 or is that also based on counting?
