So well organized and well documented. Each area has a very well educated and enthusiastic staff member or volunteer. Parking is high but you get half off with a membership. It's both an indoor and outdoor venue so wear a hat and sunscreen. If you aren't with kids, the best time to go would be late afternoon on a weekday.... More

I was given positive and negative reviews of this place, so I checked it out for myself. It's beautiful! I would suggest the late night discount times... because you can take your time and see it in a couple of hours... it's so peaceful and colorful and fascinating. My favorite exhibits are the seahorses and sea dragons.. they're such mythical-looking... More

I've been to the aquarium many times and have visited others, around the world, and this one is first class all the way. If you're in the area, don't miss it! Also, don't plan to rush through ... there's so much to see and do ... take your time to enjoy it! More

We spent the afternoon at the Aquarium and loved it. It is in a great location on the waterfront and has many exhibits - pufins, penguins, otters, sea lions/seals, and, of course, fish and sea life. There are interactive exhibits - touch a manta ray, touch a shark, touch a jellyfish. We make a habit out of visiting aquariums and... More

Recently visited the aquarium. It's a fun few hours for the family. There are no whales or dophins here. The largest animal you'll see is a sea lion. Very simple yet satisfactory for a day of fun and learning about the ocean and it's many wonders. Locations is gorgeous and has many restaurants nearby. A great day out with the... More

Getting there when the aquarium opens is definitely the way to go - we did, and were able to view several exhibits in peace before the masses of children arrived. Go to the lorakeet exhibit when it first opens to feed them - they're very friendly! More
