Tokyo Sea Life Park\u00a0 is an aquarium featuring over 600 species of rare marine life from around the world.\u00a0 The distinctive dome rising over the attraction houses a number of interesting collections, including the most famous, a\u00a02,200-ton tank shaped like a doughnut where you can watch bluefin tuna and other fish swim.<\/p>\n
Another well known attraction are the penguins, which became famous in an incident in 2012 in which one of their exhibit’s Humboldt penguins pulled a Houdini<\/a>; scaling a 13 foot high wall and successfully overcoming a barbed-wire fence to escape into Tokyo Bay.\u00a0 The penguin managed to survive and thrive, and elude its captors, for 82 days until it was finally apprehended and returned to its enclosure.\u00a0 The penguin in question is rumored to have gone on to become a noted SERE School instructor<\/a>, but officials have refused to comment on that.<\/p>\n Three times a year, the park offers free entry to residents of Tokyo.\u00a0\u00a0First on May 4 in celebration of Greenery Day and again in October on October 1 for Tokyo Citizens\u2019 Day, and again on October 10 for the anniversary of the aquarium\u2019s opening.\u00a0 Crowds can be assumed on those days, but maybe that is part of the fun?!<\/p>\n 6 Chome-2-3 Rinkaich\u014d, Edogawa-ku, T\u014dky\u014d-to 134-8587 (map link<\/a>) Photo by tomohisa suna from tokyo, japan (\u845b\u897f\u81e8\u6d77\u6c34\u65cf\u5712\u306e\u30de\u30b0\u30ed) [CC BY 2.0 <\/a>], via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tokyo Sea Life Park\u00a0 is an aquarium featuring over 600 species of rare marine life from around the world.\u00a0 The distinctive dome rising over the attraction houses a number of interesting collections, including the most famous, a\u00a02,200-ton tank shaped like a doughnut where you can watch bluefin tuna and other fish swim.
