We had a group ranging in age from 6 to 73 and we all had a great time! My sister even commented on how she wasn't looking forward to going here but it turned out to be her favorite thing we've done on vacation. The kids enjoyed collecting stamps to turn in for a prize at the end. The older generation appreciated the many places to sit and rest while still being able to enjoy the exhibits. Every staff member we encountered was helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful visit and it exceeded my expectations. I took my mom and my two year old niece with me. Everyone loved it. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. Some top notch displays/tanks and beautiful fish. My niece loved the coloring tablets at the end and then finding her fish on the big screen.

Took my daughter here for her birthday with Combo tickets for Legoland as well. She absolutely loved it, so did my husband and I. The staff was very friendly and helpful and really made our experience even better. We tried the VR and chose the dolphin/Coral reef option. It was honestly a neat experience and learned a lot about the coral reefs and dolphins. It was clean and had plenty of interactions. Overall it was enjoyable reasonably priced and worthwhile. Will definitely come back!

It's a small aquarium, but what they lack in size they make up for in quality! I found the entire place very charming, and I learned about a few species that I don't normally see in other aquariums, like the paddlenose fish! It really comes off that they care about how people experience the aquarium, from having really nice decor to doing their best to get kids interested and having fun. Even as two adults, my husband and I had a lovely time. Definitely would come back!

First time going to sealife, it eas an awesome experience. Loved all of it. Great place to take your children and learn about different sea life out there. My favorite was the sea dragons, as the way they look and swim was very 3d or unreal to me. For a family of 4 with 2 of the $5.00 add event for children to do throughout the visit for a prize at the end it cost $100 with taxes, and got free parking for 5 hours with ticket validation over $50 spent. We'll worth it. Also at the end they have virtual reality that you can do that cost $7.00 and you can choose to dive with dolphins, sharks and couple more. Also can take a photo at the very beginning that you can choose different background but cost $30.00 if you decide to purchase.
