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

This is not an aquarium. Circus-like environment with as much space dedicated to carnival games, arcade, bounce houses, ball pit, and cheap souvenirs as dedicated to animals. Sea life is a small part. Exhibits of reptiles, parakeets, lemurs, rabbits and other sad looking animals kept in small cages with no attempt at natural habitats. "Aquarium" is mostly a basement cheap looking pool with rays swimming around that of course requires extra tokens to feed them. Skip and go to a real not-for-profit aquarium instead of this mon... read more

This was the worst aquarium/zoo experience I have ever had. It smells terrible inside, the animals are in tiny enclosures that aren't clean nor do they seem appropriate for some of the animals. My family felt so bad for the animals. The water in the stingray tank etc was so dirty. Not sure how this place is allowed to even stay open.

Honestly was very disappointed after going here. The animals are in small enclosures. Everyone can touch them. Even if being allowed to touch them, I saw too many kids poking at the animals and being rough. The animals must be miserable and it's disheartening to see. You have to buy tokens to interact with some of them, and even so no one is available to let you. I hope whatever they do with the amount of money they make from this place is for a good cause, because this place does not treat their animals well.

It's horrible. Animals in small cages cramp in. Fish tanks dirty . Restrooms disgusting. Bird droppings everywhere and kids walking and playing on it . SHUT THEM DOWN !! PETA DO SOMETHING!!! Shut them down !!!
