AQWA, Australia AQWA Aquarium is a true historic landmark of Perth; an amazing story is related to its opening. The founder of the center is one of the richest men in Australia, Morris Kahn, who in 1970 opened some of the largest amusement parks in the country. His son loved snorkeling and during one of the dives damaged his eardrums, so further scuba diving was out of the question. To console his son, Morris Kahn decided to build for him the best aquarium in the continent, which travelers from around the world are eager to see these days. Next - Duman Oceanarium
