  • Didn’t too Toronto or Atlanta but wasn’t too far behind. The rope bridge walking over the shark tank was a highlight. Also got to pet a shark, sting ray, horseshoe crab and fed a sting ray. Very good....  more

  • I give this 5 stars not necessarily for the aquarium itself, since it does have a lot to be desired simply due to it's location and surroundings (not next to real ocean, run-down part of the town...

  • A great way to spend the day with family. Something for everyone. Shark exhibits are very cool. Hoping to return again soon and maybe add on an excursion.

  • Really enjoyed my time here. Would love to come back again with my nieces. Bought tickets online, selected time and had them on my phone quickly. Parking wasn't bad for a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but the line to get in moved quickly. Aquarium wasn't as big as I thought but it was still very enjoyable. We went through it in about 2 and a half hours at a nice easy pace. Aquarium was clean, exhibits were nice and they had cool things to see. It was cool touching the stingrays, sharks, starfish, horseshoe crabs and other things. Nice exhibits for the kids. Did not try to food but they had 2-3 places to eat and plenty of room to sit at. Either outside or inside. Gift shop was nice as well that leads to the exit. Pay for parking machine gives out token that you give on your way out. It costs $10 for parking.
  • We love this place. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The animals are so fun to see. The play area is a perfect halfway spot for my kids to burn off some energy. We love the different touch tanks, especially the sting rays and anemones. The shows are interesting and fun for a variety of ages. We usually bring our own food, so I can't speak to that. We enjoyed it so much, we even got an annual membership. It's not really an all day thing, but it's a good couple of hours.
  • Amazing!!!! I had the time of my life! No matter your age, this place will leave you feeling like magic. Easy to get to. Lots of ground level parking. $10 at the kiosk when you leave. May I suggest you buy your tickets/reservation online to avoid the box office. There are lockers available for $8, the kiosk takes cards. There are elevators available that make it wheelchair accessible. You can bring strollers. Masks were not required to enter or visit. It can get a little warm inside at some of the exhibits so dress for comfort. There's a cafe for eating, snack shops,too. The gift shop is awesome. Super habitats and exhibits. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Food and snacks are a little pricey, think movie theater but so good. The exhibits we're orderly and well managed. Cash and cards are accepted. May I suggest seeing The Mermaids when they return. Pure magic!!!! Enjoy!!!!
  • My family and I had so much fun here. There's so many things to do and look at. I love that you're able to touch the sharks and sting rays. That was my favorite part. There's also this cool shark tunnel that you walk through and you can see sharks and all kinds of fish swimming all around you. The hippos were really cool also. I will definitely be making another trip back to this aquarium again in the future.
  • This is an excellent aquarium. We spent the day exploring there 2 levels. The shark tunnel is amazing!! The food is great but the price of admission is on the expensive side ($36.99) but they keep the facility up to date, the enclosures are high-end so we felt it was worth it. Lots for kids and adults to do. Loved petting the sting rays and small sharks.
