"No question this was an excellent aquarium that was worth the pricey entry ticket. A great history of the area with natural settings showing the creatures and fish in a typical habitat. Recommend checking it out and looking around for any discount coupons from the hotels or tourist books. "

"The jellyfish here are way cool. You just don’t want to come across one in the actual ocaean becasue they have quite a sting. Try to make sure you see the sevengills shark exhibit. That shark is quite the attention getter. It’s not often we come by sharks, and he’s a beauty of one. The cuttlefish will absolutely delite you, they change their color in a flash to blend with their surroundings. this makes them a real hoot to watch. There’s also a cool pet the sealife exhibit, and opeople get a blast doing that. it’s not often we get to otuh sea life either. This is a fun place to go with your friends or your family…"

"It’s a steep entry fee (currently $21.95), but you definitely get value for money! The jellies exhibit alone is worth the price of admission.One of the most memorable sensual experiences of my life occured here – playing in the large shallow pool that houses the bat rays. These rays are jet black, and velvety to the touch…and they love to be petted. I would pay the entry fee twice over to experience that again. "
