Sumida Aquarium

There is compact but nicely designed aquarium at Skytree 5F.

It might be little bit difficult to find the aquarium entrance. Better ask staff the directions to aquarium as Skytree town is large and complicated for first visiter.

Baby stroller friendly, and nursing room is in the aquarium.
