Not bad, but not at all impressive. Price is too high for what it is. It would fit better in Ocean City as a boardwalk attraction than an out of the way attraction in Atlantic City. Smallish and the fish are "local", meaning drab. If you have kids 6 to 12 or so, probably a good place. The saving grace... More

This venue did not hold much for adults, however, for kids it would be great. It is small with only about 30 tanks/pens for exhibits. It has a very small observation deck that doesn't even boast the best view :-) Price is definitely in align with value. More

O.K., but expensive for the size of the aquarium. Nice find, otherwise, away from the crowds, and noise. More

Smaller place than expected. A real bonus though if you have younger children. Lots of touch-tanks. Had a chance to feed sting rays and pet a small shark. More

Price of $8 wasn't bad, a coupon for $1 off if you remember it. Great to have the touch tanks; made the visit worth the stop. Very small good for those never experience touching a shark, star fish, sea urchin, crab or ray. Depending on your kids it's either fastinating with respect to nature or will be outright boring.If you... More

This is a very small aquarium. It would be perfect for a toddler but not for older children. The best feature is the giant loggerhead turtle. There was a young woman doing an animal presentation when we were there complete with a chinchilla and a snake. There's a giant popcorn machine in the lobby and the smell of popcorn pervades... More
