among all the shopping and eating, we need to schedule in some activities for the boys obviously.
since siam paragon is just opposite our hotel, the ocean centre at its basement is an obvious choice.
the place was pretty small and we spent around 2 hours plus to cover it.
but it was a good time spent for the boys enjoyed themselves alot there and their energy was so well spent that they took an hour nap each one after another in the afternoon to free us up for shopping.
*teehee*
photo taking at the entrance!
the place boosts a decent enough selection of ocean animals to keep them interested.
the jelly fishes, crabs, seahorses, lion fishes, stone fishes and the usual penguins, sharks and stingrays etc.
it also has a random selection of land animals like snakes, geckos, spiders to keep the boys intrigued.
glass bottom boat ride!
we went for the glass bottom ride which YR found it pretty scary and was looking anywhere but at the fishes (and sharks!) at the bottom of our boat!
YZ enjoyed the ride and for a few moments, sharks were really just swimming below our boat - giving me a queasy feeling in the tummy too.....
the boat was not powered but rather operated "manually" by the staff pulling it round the place using the perimeter rope... zzzz
when we asked if the sharks will eat the rest of the fishes, the answer was that the shark were fed twice a day to keep them full..... *gulp*
face painting time for the kids!
the boys chose their own designs - starfish for YR and lobster for YZ
very pleased with his starfish which lasted only a grand 30 mins before he rubbed away almost 80% of it by accident... tsk.
some more time spent at the kids' playground, taking photos with mascots and of cos ending the whole experience with purchase of a 3D family photo (much to the hubbi's disgust - LOL!) wrapped up a nice few hours time spent here. :)
