Biggest waste of $29/tourist trap ever! They even make you exit thru the gift shop! (and the hip Banksy kinda way!!)

Looking for a bathroom? Skip the one on the main level and go up the stairs next to the food court. There's a little known one on the right.

The large variety of aquatic life is cool, but the ability to be face to face with a whale shark is amazing,
Douglas SouzaSeptember 6, 2015
Giant! Don't miss the chance to see sharks and whales so close!
Ryan QuattlebaumJuly 3, 2012
The dolphin show is less an exhibition of trained dolphins and more like a musical with some dolphin tricks thrown in.
alexander suryandonoMarch 31, 2013
Come earlier for best spot. Skip the line by buying online ticket
Elissa BeckettApril 9, 2010

Got small kids/babies? Use the family bathrooms located on the second floor near the ballroom. There's even a baby changing/nursing room.
Mj LangAugust 27, 2010
Not sure if the banquet room is open for the public or not but went 2 a convention and during dinner the whales just glide by (size immense) just beautiful!
Erin DavidsonJanuary 12, 2011
I love this aquarium! I live in TN but I will def come back to visit. It's worth it!
bekki hJuly 7, 2011
The ticket line seemed long but only took like 15 minutes--but you could save yourself 15 minutes by buying them ahead of time online or from the ticket machines in front of the building.
milton tellMarch 7, 2012

It may appear to be a giant food court built in a wrap around fish tank but i is still worth experiencing.
Phil YanovOctober 19, 2014
Do not bring a fishing pole. They won't let you take it into the aquarium.
