👍👍 One of the best aquariums I've been to. The layout is very well put together and makes for a smooth transition to each exhibit. The live shows are well worth the time and every one was entertained at all ages. Fish and other marine life looked healthy and well cared for. The interactions with tr...

👍👍 The older gentlemen who I assume was the owner was a bit snarky with me. I also felt like he assumed I knew nothing about fish. However the reason for this five star review was the health of the fish, as well as the assortment. I’ve been to almost every fish store in the area and go fish has them be...

The aquarium is so beautiful and has a great path to follow that guides you to the different sections. There weren’t any shows scheduled due to the...

👍👍 It was the first time I’ve ever been into a big aquarium and it was unbelievable. You walk in and first have to go one floor up and you slowing walk Into where everything is. Your first view is the big aquarium where a lot of big fishes are and huge turtle! Also sharks were in the background. It was...

😠 The place looks horrible. Animals left in horrible conditions. Almost malnourished. Update the pet rabbit I bought from there died less than 30 days later.
