My grandson loved the aquarium. I loved the beauty of the tanks and the colors of alm the aquatic life. Not sure why but it seemed you could see the colors of the fish, eels etc better. They were so vivid. The guides were very friendly and informative. It probably only will take 30 mins but it was worth it

It was just ok. I know this place was going to be small but not this small. For the price, I found it really expensive and A/C doesn’t work through all the exhibits. Buying the Lego Land Discovery Center combo ticket using Groupon is a must if you want to save some money. I don’t plan on coming back in the future.

Great for smaller children not so great for teens or adults wanting to do something fun. It'll take about 30 minutes to walk through everything. Nothing major just a small aquarium.
