A really interesting place, it seems small but they have a lot of areas and tanks to explore a diverse array of fish and sea life. Unfortunately, because we visited in January, some of the outdoor amenities were not available to visit (some were open, but it was too cold to see). One of the most interesting part of the aquarium was the butterfly display. They had many unique and beautiful butterflies flying around in a habitat which was conducive to their needs. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for something to do with either adults or kids.

We had a fantastic time bringing my 6-month-old along. I had some tickets from work, so we decided to give it a visit. The sea lion show was enjoyable, and learning about the penguins was interesting. My personal favorites were the fishing cat and the sharks. I just wish the aquarium featured a wider variety of sea life, as it’s somewhat limited in terms of aquatic creatures. However, it’s very well maintained. The butterfly exhibit was also a highlight. Parking costs $12 and is a few blocks away, but I managed to find some free street parking.

It's a good aquarium the sea lion show and seals are interactive. Staff very friendly. It's a pricey trip and entry ticket since they've expanded beyond only aquarium. The outdoor animals surprised me and the food is pricey.
I will for sure go back but look for tickets through my library or birthday visits are free

Made a Presidents Day overnite visit, with the grandkids! We enjoyed a two day trip and visit here with our 3 and 5 year old grandson and grand-daughter, they had a wonderful time at the aquarium and the indoor pool really worked out for extra actives.

It has a good mix of indoor and outdoor areas. The stingray pool is great for small kids, also if you're waiting for friends to arrive. Don't miss the seal show. The bubble window in the penguin area is great, but usually gets crowded since no one wants to leave. The food is fine but really expensive for what you get. You can have food outside but not inside, you get free refills for fountain drinks so keep your cup when you're outside if you want a refill. The only issues are the parking and the multiple gift shops as they all sell different items. Since there is no parking at the Aquarium, you'll need to park a few minutes walk at a paid lot. And don't eat at Jerry and the Mermaid.
