Josh HubballSeptember 10, 2010SKIP the 4-D movie experience, especially if you have kids under the age of 6.
naveenJanuary 31, 2010the sharks are actually not that exciting (sorry, boys). go talk to the walruses for a bit instead. the big one's as old as i am!
Franncis PJuly 14, 2016Horrible experiance. No water fountains working, overpriced food,very small place.4d theater was warm! Parking 14.00
Longhair BillyAugust 4, 2011Do not go in June, July or August. Summer camps are everywhere. Unruly kids who are not supervised ruin it for everyone.
Jenn AllenApril 29, 2017If you catch a feeding then the trip MAY be worth it. you can do the whole aquarium in 15mins! heavily under construction (not close to finishing). Big disappointment. Shark exhibit seems too small
- Jenn AllenApril 29, 2017Admission has also jumped up to $11.95. $13 for parking. Very pricey for a small aquarium still under construction
I wouldn't visit until the new Shark Exhibit is open. A lot of the aquarium is closed for renovation.

"Very cool and very user friendly, mostly a kiddy park for now it has a few adult rides but more to come. Worth the trip."
