Great place to practice your photography if you are into that, and it's a great place to have fun with family and friends you'll get to see a bunch of fish, frogs, tigers, alligators, sharks and etc.

We had such a wonderful time at the aquarium with our toddler! He absolutely loved everything. We went in the morning and purchased tickets online, which made the experience smooth with no waiting in long lines for entry, the carousel, or the train. Everything was so well-organized. The dining area was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. It was truly a memorable experience for our family. Highly recommend!

We saw all the attractions offered and it took about 2.5 hours to see everything. We pet the stingrays and saw the tiger, but unfortunately, he was asleep that day. The train ride was more fun than we anticipated as we drove through the shark exhibit. We had such a blast here. It's close to home and an easy option for a great little day trip into the city.

Amazing, wonderful place to spend time with kids! We are SO happy that we disregarded all negative comments and decided to go give it a chance - we had a fantastic time 🙂 Well-designed beautiful interior of both building and aquariums, everything is clean and well maintained, good variety of different species. We loved the audio guided trip on train and all the rides! And it’s all included in price. I would recommend everyone who wants to spend few fun hours on weekend 🙂 P.S. we purchased online from their website and we didn’t stay in line at all
