Ideen SolhtalabOctober 25, 2011Enjoy the mesmerizing shark walkway...with the music, sharks, and slow moving walkway, it feels a bit surreal.
Stephanie HawleySeptember 2, 2012This place has a larger variety of fish in better displays than SeaWorld! - seriously!
Charlie HendrixsonMarch 10, 2011This is one of the nicer aquariums that I have encountered. Lots hands on fish touching and the best poison dart frog exhibit I have seen.
David SammonsDecember 24, 2011Very nice lay out. Very educational but pricey. However, the enjoyment my kids got out of it was priceless.
A SJune 15, 2016Not the best. With so many attractions in town, I would skip this one, unless you have kids that would enjoy the aquarium.
Adam C.October 23, 2011Great aquarium! Try to avoid busy weekends or you can spend a lot of time waiting

TrinaJuly 13, 2012Fascinating place, only two bad things. Not enough parking and parents who can't control their kids.
Christy LiveryNovember 3, 2012Had a nice time especially being military it was 4.99 to get it!! Regular fee is 24.99.
- Crystal MartinNovember 14, 2013If you don't have a lot of money, eat before you go because the cage is fairly expensive.
