It was a nice place and definitely fun for children. We were fortunate to get a homeschool discount, which made the tickets $12.00 each. I do not feel it is worth the standard ticket price because the facility is not very big, and the tunnel is not as grand as they seem to advertise.

Not too big but still fun. Lots of info around the exhibits and friendly employees willing to inform you, also. A hands-on exhibit where you can touch star fish and sea urchin. A few seats around the facility. Parking is close and validated. You have the option to buy your photo toward the end.

Had a great day here!! Lots to see and interact with. Couldn't believe how many different varieties of sea life there are. Walking through the passage way that had the tunnel above us was the best part. Definitely can't wait to go back!

This was the perfect idea for a kids birthday party. It was so easy all we had to do was show up with the cake. Aiden was assigned to party and he was awesome. He had the room all setup, helped pass out drinks and made sure they all had a good time. We spent some time in the party room and then the rest of the time exploring the aquarium. While we were exploring he cleaned all the room, gathered all our things and stored them safely for us until the end of the party. I highly suggest doing this if you’re looking for a fun birthday party idea.
