  Great place for everyone, adult or kid. Visiting this place few times a year. The exhibits are very informative and fun to watch and learn. Hands on section allow you directly touch jelly fish, sea stars & horseshoe crab, etc is really fun. Double check the parking options nearby, the aquarium discount-offered parking garage might not be the best offer.

  I loved it! I enjoyed the new addition where you can touch the moon jellyfish. We went right as they opened and it was the perfect time to be there it wasn’t very crowded you could enjoy each exhibit. Would love to come back in the near future!!
