Creek Ave Review of Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine

This is a great aquarium, probably the best in Dallas for children. (Cleaner, better exhibits than the Children's aquarium and the Dallas World Aquarium is both horridly expensive and more a rainforest zoo than an actual aquarium). This is NOT as good as aquariums made for adults (Baltimore, New Orleans, or even Corpus Christie). However, if you have children under the age of 10, this is a great experience.
Pros:
Clean
Good exhibits
lots of different "views" (Tunnel, a couple of see-through floors, concave and convex ports).
Decently wide selection of animals.
Seems to have different educational opportunities and talks (I did not actually attend any in my visit)
Knowledgeable staff
Hands on section with starfish/crabs for the kids.
Ages 2 and under are free
Cons:
A bit commercialized (pictures on green screen when you walk in, a gift shop you must walk out of to exit)
Definitely for children and their parents (I would think anyone over 10 might start to be a little bored). But if you have young children, it is great!
More expensive than I would prefer (but, given how clean it is, it is probably worth it). If you buy online you can save a few dollars per ticket.
