Loved Sealife! I am from KC and I have to say that there needs to be more signage. We used MapQuest and trying to park and figure out where you are or need to be, was a challenge. Getting out of the parking garage was a joke too. I have no idea what folks from out of the country will do for FIFA, next month. It was a fun time...Legoland I could take or leave but my granddaughter and her friends enjoyed.

Very cool aquarium. Not to big, probably took like an hour. No food inside, but lots of restaurants nearby. Very clean place and knowledgeable staff. Lots of facts posted. Worth a visit. Better to buy tickets inside.

My husband, 3 year old daughter, and I visited a few days ago! We had a wonderful experience!
The employees are very knowledgeable and kind! Our daughter loved the coloring tablets at the end and getting to find the fish she colored on the screen! Highly recommend!

El lugar está bien bonito , pero se me hace algo caro , ya que es pequeño y el tour es rápido , no es que pases mucho tiempo adentro ni realices variedad de actividades como para que se pague tanto !!! Pero si es acogedor !!
