Great for all kids. Even little ones. And adults can get drinks at the bar while the kids play in the water spray ground.

I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. I feel like there wasn't a whole lot for the $20 admission but I also realize they need money for the fish. It's worth going at least one.

Park across the street in the Channelside parking garage. It's cheaper and it's closer to the acquarium's entrance.

the penguins are very cute but it is entirely designed for little kids...so you can just take a stroll by at the time of the show and take a peek

Great place for a wedding.
Andrew Coma StegallSeptember 15, 2019
Literally can do whole place in 10 mins not worth the money. It's very nice but not worth time or money. Take your kid or adults to Lowery Park
Joshua MorrisonJuly 17, 2013
Was pretty fun. Cafe was a little bit pricey, but kind of expected. Wish some parents would watch their kids though.
