Okay, so I grew up in the Bay Area and so have visited the best aquariums in California. This is nothing like those. Still, for a small humble place in the middle of the Wasatch Front it is surprisingly good! Great fun for the family.

The variety of marine life they have here is pretty impressive. The displays are fun for children and adults alike. My favorite parts about the aquarium: the jellyfish exhibit, the seahorse exhibit, the... More

My daughter, two grandsons (ages 8 and 3), and I spent an enjoyable couple of hours there on a Saturday morning. Both of the boys loved it! The penguins were delightful! The otters were fun to watch, too. The eight year old got to touch a snake---helped him understand that reptiles have dry, scaly skin. It will be even better... More

The grandkids & I loved visiting this aquarium in Utah! There were a lot more displays than we thought there would be. We especially loved the hands on displays. The kids loved to touch everything!
