Alive Aquarium Daegu is inside Shinsegae Department Store Daegu in Dong-gu, so weather is never a problem. Highlights are a domed panorama tank, a 'sea cloud bridge' where you peer down into the water from above, and a 'sea maze' of tanks set with mirrors and lights. There are hands-on programs and shows as well.
