It's the same boring experience with the same exact shows everytime. You want to do something different you have to pay an arm and a leg.

When we went to the LI Aquarium, there were butterfly and parrot areas that were each self-enclosed. It allows the birds/butterflies to roam free in the room allowing direct interactions with these creatures. $1.00 buys you a cup of parrot seeds which encourages the birds to sit on your finger, shoulder, or head!

I loved the variety and quality of all of the exhibits. My two sons and I enjoyed the sea lion show, the shark tank, the many coral reef and fish exhibits, and we saw our first octopus and cuttlefish.
