"We've been past the aquarium a million times when they were at the end of the sponge docks, and we've driven past there a million times at their current location.

"What a WONDERFUL experience!! We highly recommend it. We brought our 8 and 4 year old grandchildren who loved every minute of it. The shows were all great! They did a super job engaging the children. Buy the animal food and let the kids feed the animals. We all had fun doing that. The animals look like they are loved and well taken care of. I have passed the sign many times and didn't give it a second thought, but after the reviews, I thought we would give it a try, and I'm soooo glad we did. It's small but we all had so much fun. This is a family run business, and they work their tails off. "
