About

<Myeongsin Aquarium Safety Guidelines> We sincerely welcome all visitors to Myeongsin Aquarium. For your safety and enjoyment, please ensure you read and follow these rules strictly. 1. From the moment you enter, our aquarium recognizes you as a 'Guest.' Please maintain your dignity as a guest until you exit. If you fail to follow staff instructions or cause a disturbance, you may be reclassified as an 'Obstruction' rather than a guest. 2. The water in all tanks within the aquarium is not seawater. Under no circumstances should you put your hands in the tanks or taste the water. If you are thirsty, please use the provided vending machines. (Note: If you see a 'Seawater Drink' in the vending machine, it is not intended for you.) 3. When passing through the red-lit tunnel, do not stop walking or look back. Do not respond to any sounds heard inside the tunnel. This is especially important if you hear your own name being called. 4. If an announcement for the 'Mermaid Show' begins, immediately seek shelter in the nearest restroom. Enter a stall, lock the door, and do not look out until the announcement stating the show has ended is made. Mermaids enjoy the gaze of the audience. 5. You may encounter a staff member in a black suit in the hallways. He is not one of our employees. Do not make eye contact with him, and do not respond if he speaks to you. He is looking for 'another guest' who has lost their way. 6. If you find a crying child, leave the area immediately. Our aquarium does not operate a lost child center, and there are no scheduled group tours for children today. Do not show sympathy to the child. 7. Do not linger too long in front of any specific tank. If your reflection in the glass begins to act differently from you, move to another location immediately. 8. Closing time is not separately announced. When you personally judge that it is 'time to leave,' find the exit. Haste leads to unfavorable outcomes. 9. If you see a 'smiling' beluga in the beluga tank, you are lucky. However, if the beluga 'laughs' at you, that is not luck. You must immediately stop your tour and head for the exit. 10. Our staff members wear blue uniforms. Anyone wearing a uniform of a different color is not an employee, and you are under no obligation to respond to their kindness. 11. Do not react even if a penguin mimics your actions exactly. If it repeats the same action three times, it is no longer mimicry. Immediately hide your hands behind your back and leave the Penguin Exhibit. 12. All penguins in our aquarium have a yellow tag attached to one wing. If you find an individual without a tag or one wearing a human wristwatch, pretend you did not see it. Leave the area before that individual points at you. 13. The lighting in the Jellyfish Gallery changes constantly. If all lights turn black, close your eyes, count to ten, and then open them. Jellyfish become more active in the dark. 14. If you find a sign pointing toward that area, walk in the opposite direction. The 'Deep Sea Experience Hall' is currently not in operation. 15. The menu in the food court is for reference only. Do not order. Hunger is not something we provide. 16. Do not press the emergency bells on the walls. They are not bells to request help; they are bells to call something. 17. If all the fish in a tank are perfectly still, leave naturally. There is no fish that does not move even its gills. 18. No one except administrators may enter staff-only areas. Even if a 'STAFF ONLY' door is open, do not be curious. The scenery inside is harmful to your mental health. 19. The dolphin show is enjoyable. However, if a dolphin jumps out of the water and starts talking, it is not part of the show. Applaud and leave the area naturally. 20. Photography is permitted within the aquarium. However, do not use flash. There are things sensitive to light. 21. The 'Seahorse Plush' in the gift shop is very cute. However, if the seahorse's eyes are red, it is not a doll. Quietly leave the shop. 22. There is only one exit. If you see multiple exits, head for the door with the sign that says 'Thank you for visiting.' The other doors will lead you to a place we do not know. This concludes the guidelines. We hope you have an enjoyable time at Myeongsin Aquarium. Thank you.
