I found that the large format movie screens they have kinda took away from the type of atmosphere you'd want to have in an aquarium. Also, the octopus wasn't as active as I have seen them in other aquariums. I really enjoyed the large tanks though (see Kelp forest pic)
This place was fantastic. The staff and volunteers were all friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. The aquariums and displays were beautiful, educational and as a family, we all loved the interactive elements - story time circle, puzzles, search and find, touch pool and more. I highly recommend visiting this little treasure.
A very all ages, family friendly place. I had taken my kids (1 & 5) to the ocean before visiting and my toddler had soaked her only socks and boots. They were amazingly accommodating and helpful making it so that we could still visit. Thank you so much!! It meant a lot to me.
Its a small cute place to visit for an hour with the kids but I was hoping to see more types of fishes and sea animals. Jellyfishes were interesting to watch.
This place is an awesome stop for vacationers. It's not very big but it has lots of different things to see. The microscopes that let you get a closer look at the textures of star fish, anemone and the like is a pretty neat way to be interactive. There are cool little info classes throughout as well. The touch are was awesome. Lots of info for how small the place is. The staff are all extremely nice and very informative. Great experience and I highly recommend going.
