    While this is a great place to take your family (if you can afford it, the prices have gone up considerably), plan to spend a lot of time here! There is a lot to see, it is very large and the selection of creatures are awesome! A half a day is not unreasonable. They do have a small restaurant here also.

    Great aquarium, it's what you expect in any aquarium except they didn't have a dolphin show or anything like that. It was quick but plenty to see, a lot of sharks and stingrays, well worth the $40 a person.

    A bit pricy for a family, but depending how old your children are, one can take at least half a day to enjoy and learn from a beautiful wealth of nature experiences to see and even feel (like with the ray pond). It is a fun and memorable experience.

    There are so many different variety of fish, sharks, and other creatures from the oceans. I especially enjoyed the penguins they were so adorable and there are lots for kids to do inside. They even have shows for them also. A must see.

    Absolutely the best aquarium I have ever visited, and that's been several. The giant walled aquarium with the seating area is a place I could spend hours, watching the fish and listening to the soothing music. Well designed play areas the funnel the children to only one exit point. The color changing cuttle fish are unbelievable. And you don't want to miss the penguine parade. Ask about the times.
