Terrific small aquarium. The live exhibits were clear and varied. The static displays were very detailed and focused on the culture and environment.

It was a great visit. Nice displays, well organized into the "depth" concept. The large aquarium with the tunnel going through was awesome, with several shark species and large rays. A good family experience overall.

The staff provided great informational talks throughout the aquarium. We loved the shark and turtle lectures. Very informative. The water tunnel was an amazing experience. It’s a natural water system. Good coffee shop, a little over priced but to be expected when you’re at a aquarium.
