This place is not worth a penny. We paid $74 for tickets and tokens and that was a huge mistake. The place is horrible. Don't be fooled by the pictures online, it's dirty, smelly and so very boring. Nothing like what you see on their website. Save your money and go somewhere fun. I regret spending all that money just so my kid NOT have fun. I really thought he was going to have a fun experience, but it was terrible.

This place is very unsanitary, and unsafe for both the animals and the guest. It's not a aquarium, there's more animals than fish. You can touch almost every animal in this facility. Kids were touching baby stingrays while chopped off fish heads were floating around. The animals are not in nearly big enough cages/tanks. The smell is disgusting and the building itself looks like it was a used car dealership. You can clearly tell that this place is not somewhere that you want to give money to. I feel guilty that i did not do p... read more

Stopped by on a whim as we stayed overnight by here on a trip. My boys were ready to run around after being in a car and this place was actually a blast for them. Weirdly the main highlights were the giant bouncy castle room, and the surprisingly big arcade. My wife enjoyed the exhibits but I won't lie, it's pretty small and we got through that part very fast. What's there is unique and fun tho, kids loved petting the fish and alpaca. Would've given it a 4* but honestly $70 seems a bit high for entry for 2 adults and 2 kids,... read more

Animals we're placed in very small, un-sanitary enclosures. They offered touch tanks with dangerous unsupervised species, like small sharks, sting rays, and birds with sharp beaks. Water for many animals had a film of oil on top of it from any dirt from hands or the crumbling warehouse ceiling. Small children were unsupervised and climbing IN the tanks of many of the fish and sharks with no workers to be found. The main ocean area contained a mermaid face painter and balloon animal artist- which was a barely walkable hallway... read more

This place smells and there is not much for the money they charge. My granddaughter and myself were in & out within an hour and a halfYou have to buy tokens for everything. I spent $14 for 5 tokens and left with all of them. The gift shop is GROSSLY OVERPRICED. A

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is NOT an aquarium. It's a petting zoo where they have animals in horrible living conditions. Tiny enclosures with no natural light, too many animals for a small area, and many without food and water. Do not be fooled. This place should not be allowed to have those animals. Please do not support this for profit business. Go to the zoo instead.

Very interactive it almost seems unreal. The reason I give three stars is because it doesn't seem very spacious for the amount of sea creatures they do have. When asking why the octopus tank was bigger, the man who worked there responded "it doesn't matter the tank size, they grow anyways just like any other animal." There seemed to be no concern for something so beautifully large and there was no cover. When researching the aquarium it seems to be under the wife's name of a convicted exotic animal trafficker. Not too sure i... read more

Please if you have a heart for animals do not go here! Not really an aquarium by any means! I was uncomfortable the entire time... tokens to touch or feed the animals... just seemed sad and their enclosures were too small, dirty and just looked uncomfortable for them! Please save your money!

3 adults and a 4 year old had a great time. The 4yr old loves feeling the alligators, numerous fish, lizards, turtles, birds, stingrays and sharks. The bounce house was pretty awesome, too. All of the staff were very nice and the staff at the exhibits were very informative.
