Can you imagine having a huge aquarium underground? and you can find it at a Mall. They have done a great job at the displays of sealife and you can find a great variety from sharks to seahorses. It is a great place to take the kids and the kids love it! More

The kids got a big kick walking through the water tunnel. You really get to get up close. There is beautiful color all around you. The kids loved petting the sting rays. More

If you are hoping to gain major knowledge about aquatic wildlife, this is not the place for you. But if you have small children and you want to visit an aquarium that doesn't take all day and has the convenience of a gigantic mall and tons of food options, The Underwater Adventure Aquarium is right for you. I do feel... More

I wasn't very impressed with this place for the cost of admission. I'll admit walking through a tube underwater is pretty cool, but the aquarium is actually pretty tiny for all the hype and expense.

For the cost this was very disappointing. Don't get me wrong it was very interesting, but the whole last part of the tour was "Under Construction" and there was nothing to see. When we got to the end.....we felt like...."That's it?" Full price admission should not be charged if the place is not fully functional. More

Loved everything about it but if it weren't for a coupon we wouldn't have gone as it is way too expensive. More

Very interesting experience - recently learned that you can arrange a scuba dive in aquariums and want to give it a try. More

The moving walkway with the 'tube' you go through is really neat. To see all those sharks and skates/rays up close is something. Bring the camera and enjoy! More
