I enjoyed my experience at the aquarium. The only negative was that we went on a weekday with a million other schoolchildren taking field trips. Nothing against children, but for the money I wish I could have leisurely walked around and taken it in without kids running around, loud and jostling me. I thought the tickets were a little pricey,... More

This is by far the best aquarium I've ever been to. I ended up buying season pass I was so impressed. Can't wait for family to come visit to take them. Dolphin show is wonderful. Was cool to see the pregnant whale only a week before giving birth. More

Great place to see all sorts of fish and marine life. Lines weren't to bad and the staff were friendly. I would definitely go again and take someone with me. More

In one word, the aquarium is AWESOME. Huge tanks, well displayed, with huge fish. Where else are you going to see whale sharks? The only things I could find fault with we're the crowds of school kids and the cheesy story for the dolphin show. The dolphins were great, but Disney-like story was a distraction. Go. You will be glad... More

I love the aquarium and so do my children. Visit early to beat the crowds because it will get crowded. This is a staple for any out of town visitor that stays with me. Very expensive. My husband refuses to go becuase of the expense. More

We arrived by car and discovered that the commercial parking lot immediately before you arrive at the official visitors parking is $5 versus $10 (though the visitor's parking deck is covered if it is a rainy day). If you are a AAA member you can purchase a discount admission ticket (but only at a AAA office, not at the attraction).... More

This was a great place for families and kids. Very well run, move the crowds well. Plan ahead because the dolphin show is only at certain times. More

The aquarium was a lot of fun but the giant tank was just incredible. Worth the trip just for the tank. More

I purchased tickets ahead of time at my local AAA office for a slight discount. With tickets, parking, and food, this is an expensive afternoon, however we had a good time. We arrived shortly after opening and had a good few hours before all the crowds showed up. The dolphin show was the highlight of the aquarium, and the dolphins... More
