What parents say
"Wish it was bigger but overall it was a nice spot to check out. I live aquariums and watching the sea life the area in filled with other thing to do as well as food. So it make for a good spot with tons to do around it. You can buy tix there or in advance but there was no wait when I went. It was a little crowded inside but its expected."

"Was a great little spontaneous adventure to do with the family, the young and old. Very well put together. Lots of things to see. A little pricey for a large family. Was great for a one time experience."

"This is an awesome aquarium. Unfortunately, there were several schools on field trips the day we went, so it was not as pleasant as it could have been. Too many kids, uncontrolled and screaming. But, that is not the fault of the aquarium. There is a lot to see here. Definitely recommend...but come on a day when there are less kids."
