Visit to TOP Boutique Aquarium

6 November, 2018
My wife and I enjoyed a fun outing at the TOP Boutique Aquarium. We were there at the invitation of The TOP. We have heard of the aquarium and have looked forward to visiting it. When we visited The TOP for the first time, the aquarium was not opened yet, so this was the first time we get to enjoy it.

TOP Boutique Aquarium was opened by then Chief Minister of Penang, the Right Honourable Lim Guan Eng, on 11 February, 2018. It is divided into various sections. The first section has a Penang pre-war house theme, showing various tropical fish in tanks that mimic scenes from a Straits prehouse townhouse. This is followed by tanks of luminous tropical fish. There is also a gallery showing the fish of mangrove swamp, and two section where you can crawl under the tank to emerge in a glass hemisphere surrounded by the fish.

I am quite surprised that the aquarium is bigger than I had expected. There are so many galleries packed in this aquarium. Moreover, it is very well kept, with the glass tanks well maintained, without any smudges. Let me take you on a photo tour now.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
