    Very nice aquarium. Nice variety for a small place. About an hour tops needed. Easy to get to...only bad is the signage for the exhibits was lacking for me! Exhibits were explained on walls or video.....  more »

    It was cool, but small. I would have been angry had I paid full price. Get the City Pass if you are going to see the Aquarium.  more »

    Loved this trip to the Aquarium. We saw all the otters and boy were they showing off! The seals were putting on a show of their own. So many beautiful fish and so many people enjoying themselves. It was a great day.

    Very cute aquarium. The best part is that there are not too many people here. It was not crowded when we came to visit. They has a beautiful selection of fish. The sea lions were also very cute.
