Definitely the smallest aquarium I have ever been to, but it's nice. Clean, pleasant staff, and a easy pathway from start to finish, you definitely can't get lost here. I enjoyed it despite the briefness.
This was the smallest aquarium I've been to, but it was a great stop on our trip. I like how they have everything set up in an easy-to-follow trail through the aquarium. They had a few surprisingly large tanks for the size of the aquarium. The otter was especially adorable & being able to check out it's exhibit from both under water and above was neat. The aquarium was clean and didn't have an overwhelming fishy smell like some aquariums tend to have. The bathrooms were also clean, and the gift shop had a lot to offer.
Went to the River of Lights and it was so beautiful much more then last year's. They has food and baked goods. The had drinks for adults and children. We really enjoyed our time.
This is a really clean and well kept aquarium that has lots of different kinds of fish. The main aquarium was exciting to just sit and observe the fish being fed a little food by one of the keepers who was in the aquarium. When you go to the shark cafeteria you can see it from the other side. Nice and relaxing.
Amazing! Beautiful! Wonderful! And that was just the girl at the ticket booth! Really the whole place was incredible! The wife and I very much enjoyed the different types of gardens but were especially impressed with the huge wild toad and the pet table koi in the thoughtfully designed and cared for Japanese garden. On our way out we enjoyed seeing the friendly workers decorating the tiny train area with string lights; then we happened upon the best part, the fantasy area for kids! The giant bugs and vegetation along with the cave and massive fallen tree along with the termite mound maze definitely lent to a feeling of being transported into a world of imagination! All of that along with eating lunch next to the incredible aquatic display in the lunch room was well worth the $20 admission fee, and we didn't even have time to enjoy the included entry to the aquarium! Give yourself a few hours to enjoy these two parks included in the one ticket, we had a plane to catch! By the way, the burgers and sweet potato fries are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Wow are they delicious! As for advanced ticket purchase, only do this if you know it's likely to be busy, maybe a weekend or holiday; they require choosing the hour you will arrive ahead of time, we didn't want that stress so figured we'd chance just purchasing when we arrived and were glad we did!
