Our kids always have a wonderful time here! From the land animals, like the Lemurs and Capybara to the hands on feeding of the Manta Rays, they get so excited. My favorite experience is the parakeet bird feeding, literally 40 birds will land on you at a time. If you have younger children the Aquarium is a fantastic experience for the whole family!

Enclosures are really dirty and some tanks are over crowded. I don't recommend spending your money here.

Absolutely sad. So many of the enclosures and tanks are overcrowded and way too small to accommodate the animal inside.. especially many of the fish tanks, the octopus and one of the eels, even the python. There was a lemur and her baby secluded in a smaller enclosure and the mama lemur seemed extremely stressed. Please don't spend your money here. So many of the animals look depressed, and the place reeked of urine and many enclosures were filthy. I'm honestly shocked at the good reviews, clearly shows a lack of education a... read more

The kiddo is learning about sea animals so we figured what better way to spend a Monday than by visiting the aquarium. My son enjoyed the touchable animals! We fed the rays, sat with some chickens, said hello to some lemurs, and his favorite animal was the octopus. I must say I was pretty impressed with the variety of animals there. I also loved that there are so many interactive areas so you're not left feeling like you're walking through a giant petsmart. We came expecting to be one time visitors and we left as members lol... read more

I'll be honest, at first I was hesitant to come in because I've never seen an aquarium in a shopping plaza. Devin was amazing. Actually the entire staff was. But Devin told us to check out the porcupine and honestly it was the best experience. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the creatures. Devin shows so much excitement and passion and was very kind. He answered all our questions and shared fun facts about the animals. He was incredibly informative and helpful. The staff attended to our needs and we're quick to he... read more

All of a sudden my friend was grabbed by a bouncer and taken into the backroom where he was punched repeatedly in the face. not only that they refused to let him leave. after some struggling we got him out but he was pretty beaten up. Shady bar never going back.

One of the most entertaining spots to take your small kids! There are so many things to do: animal interactions, face painting, singing mermaids, tokens for feeding sharks, sting rays, koi, birds and more. There's a small jungle gym, tunnel and slide area next to the concession and birthday table area. And what kid doesn't love playing with the rocks on the way through the gift shop before leaving?

Gosh I wish I would have read reviews on this place . The bad reviews are not lying. Parents please be careful with your littles as they offer animal feed to feed their wildlife and you may risk your children getting bitten. This place is very filthy and the smell is horrendous it slaps you in the face as you walk in. I'm very sensitive to smell so our visit literally was 15 mins long . Spoiler here but if you want to know the Types of animals you will see there: Some jelly fish , sting rays, one octopus in a very murky tank... read more
