This is a great aquarium that offers a variety of ecosystems on display. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, they answer any question you have and help you enjoy the experience more. The "hands on" area is awesome, really mesmerizing watching the animals so close.
I'm from San Diego and think that this aquarium challenges our Birch Aquarium as...

Kids will love the place. The nice thing about this aquarium is the location. You can go for a walk long the beach and dine in many restaurants around there. It's a small but excellent aquarium.

I agree with the other reviews here: You'll enjoy the Aquarium most when the large buses/tours - kids or adults - are not here...

The website tells you to go after 2pm to avoid school groups. Take this advice! it's a much nicer visit without hundreds of kids. If you go later in the day, you can still catch most if not all the shows (which are really short - which is great - about 10 min each) and you miss the crowds. The...

Not only are the sea exhibits amazing (be absolutely sure to...
