We spent over half a day in the Aquarium, and could have spent more! The exhibits were wonderful, and the staff was very helpful. I wish the family rate for admission was a bit less, but it was worth every penny we spent

I trot the globe in search of good food, and animal life. I have been to many continents and oceana, having never missed an aquarium. This is the best, folks, there is NO comparison.
