The craziest aquarium on Earth opened to the public on Saturday following a successful test run that saw over half a million visitors, and Officials from Guinness World Records were there to confirm that new park had set five new world records, including world's largest aquarium, world's largest underwater viewing dome, world's largest aquarium tank window, and world's largest acrylic panel. That's a hefty load or records to set in one fell swoop.
“Breaking any world record is amazing, but to become the world’s largest aquarium requires phenomenal creative vision and immense engineering efforts,” said Rowan Simons, president of Guinness’ Greater China division. “The result is an incredible attraction experience and Guinness World Records is delighted to recognize the five specific world-beating achievements that make it so special.”
Guangdong province’s Hengqin Ocean Kingdom's massive tank has a volume of 6 million gallons, much larger than any other aquarium on the entire planet, with a 130 by 27-foot viewing window that convinced Guinness to bestow two awards for world’s largest aquarium window and largest acrylic panel. The award for largest underwater viewing dome belongs to the nearby Whale Exhibit, providing viewers with an astonishing way to see one of the world's largest mammals.
