  1. hi, I would like to bring my 8year old boy there. Do we need a permit to enter facility and can we walk anywhere in the compound? The challenge would be staying up late/early to catch the fishy-buzz. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    • Hi, no need permit. Anyone can go in, just exchange ID for entry pass at guard post. Can drive in and park there too. You can walk anywhere you fancy and there is a gangway above the entire area if you want to avoid the wet trading floor. Between 2-4am should be most busy period. Have fun. :)

  2. Thanks as usual for your prompt response. I agree this should bring some unconventional Fun :)
