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.

Was a bit hesitant going due to the reviews, but I'm happy I went. The place is small on the outside but roomie on the inside. Located near a few car dealerships. So it looks as if they just turned an old dealership into an aquarium. Had almost everything from land animals to sea animals. A very interactive place where you can take pictures with lemur to feeding stingrays and koi fishes. I understand people being mad at the animals inclosure, something that they probably might need to fix. Plus workers looked more like high ... read more

I would absolutely NOT recommend this place!! It is not a true aquarium. It is an old car dealership building that smells of a cleaning agent and fish. THESE POOR ANIMALS. The enclosures are not natural by any means and are not clean.

A lot of fun creatures to see here. Can be as interactive as you want it to be! The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the outrageous prices. I know animals are expensive to care for, but they really gouge you here. They were also a bit stingy when it came to using a yelp deal I found. Had to call the manager and get special permission, etc. We will be back, but not for a few years!

Shocking experience! Upon entering, my wife, young son, and I were greeted by a very strong and off-putting odor that could possibly have something to do with air circulation or ventilation perhaps (this building was formerly a car dealership after all). My first impression, which persevered throughout, was that the small, underwhelming animal enclosures were inadequate for the creatures inhabiting them (I know "bleeding heart here" but seriously in my opinion the lemurs, wallabies, giant rabbits, giant porcupines, etc. app... read more
