12/10 recommend!! To be honest, I didn't want to go. I wanted to go to the beach, but my husband and my 3y/o wanted to do the aquarium. I am SO glad we went!! It was amazing!! We were all blown away at the amount of different animals to see and interactive locations/tunnels. Well worth the money!! Would definitely visit again.

I took my family there and was not disappointed. A bit on the crowded side and a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money and time. My family really enjoyed themselves and the Penguin exhibit was by far the best and they were quite lively. The staff was very knowledgeable and you can tell the animals are well taken care of. Would recommend arriving early to avoid a large crowd, but there's plenty to see and do there. Definitely worth a visit...or multiple. Would definitely recommend.
