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.

Get an advanced ticket online to avoid standing in line. Otherwise you'll be there a looong time!

The dolphin show is less an exhibition of trained dolphins and more like a musical with some dolphin tricks thrown in.
Douglas SouzaSeptember 6, 2015
Giant! Don't miss the chance to see sharks and whales so close!
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.

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!

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.
