“Tutto molto interessante, l'Acquario è stupendo..unica pecca l'orario perché non sono flessibili, avevamo casa di Cristoforo colombo alle ore 9, ma siamo arrivati un po' dopo per via dei mezzi di trasporto, ma non ci sono stati problemi lí, per l'acquario invece ogni prenotazione ha un suo orario preciso, ci hanno fatto la gentilezza di segnare errore nella prenotazione per farci entrare lo stesso anche se ad un orario diverso, per fortuna. ma c'era il rischio che saltasse il tutto.”
