Description

Later phases expanded the park with the Grand Reef snorkeling habitat (2011) and the Freshwater Oasis marmoset habitat (2012); PGAV Destinations credits itself with design work across the park's development but the public sourcing for those later phases specifically is not independently confirmed here.
