- CCCarlos Croft2 days ago2.0It was fun but for 2 tickets it was around $55 😭. But there was nothing special special there.
- EPErica Pomykal6 days ago5.0The aquarium is small, but it’s a great little adventure for small children. They have various kinds of fish and sharks and even a sea turtle that was rescued. Price isn’t bad for a 30-45 minute experience. Overall, a great little activity for young children with a neat little gift shop. They do private experiences as well with some of the animals.
- KGKevin GattonOct 24, 20255.0A little short but super cool to take kids.
- MMMargo MasurOct 17, 20253.0The staff is amazing! However, the aquarium is small and outdated. Not worth the expensive price. You're better off attending the one in Leon Valley.
- BCBernadette De La CruzOct 1, 20251.0Although, "Moray Eels tend to be territorial and stay hidden inside of caves and crevices as often as they can. They are comfortable as long as they can hide inside Of something.", this Eel couldnt hide anywhere in this tiny tank(tiny for his size, being that they grow up to 8 feet). This was so sad to see. (Pictured). Also, one of the tanks were very dirty. (Pictured with one of the rays that can only swim around in circles due to the small tank.) Barely room for most sea creatures to swim, with the tiny sea creatures being an exception. Jellyfish definitely need more room that that as well. Aside that, the air conditioning was very weak. It was very humid and hot throughout. It was cool to experience these creatures close up. But more sad. The gift shop is cool. I was looking for something with an eel but I was out of luck. There was creatures such as dolphins, squid, penguins, etc. even though they weren't there lol I wanted something Eel related to represent the giant Eel. Unfortunately, I made no purchases in there.
