Not the biggest or fanciest aquarium that I have been to but it is VERY NICE. The shows were fun and informative. The animals appear to be well cared for. Make sure you leave time to shop in the gift shop it is large and open with very nice items down to the little trinkets that kids love with good prices.Ginny They are doing a good job. Children were loving it and I will take out of town visitors there! The cute parakeets were a sweet extra. I had trouble finding will call so if you do try going to the front of the line.

I enjoyed my visit to the aquarium. It was my first visit, and the ocean life was beautiful. I was there to explore and take pictures for a project for my photography college class. It was a great visit, but you cannot bring in outside food or drinks. So I bought a cup of Starbuck's coffee that cost $4 just for regular coffee. It is expensive, and it's better to drink outside if you have the time. My visit was limited to 3 hours. Overall, the trip was worth it.

Going from 3-6 was perfect! We had plenty of time to enjoy the Aquarium, no crowds and the weather was PERFECT! I was brave enough to go with my three kids ages 9,5 and 4.
They LOVED IT!
