A huge aquarium with so much to see, but as other reviewers have said, it's incredibly crowded. Despite that we had a good experience & enjoyed our time here. There are some interactive exhibits that I'm sure are especially exciting for children & a theatre showing nature/wildlife films, we watched one about blue whales & it was a nice break from walking before finishing up the tour. As you leave you pass through the obligatory gift shop & of course the point where the photos taken on the way in are for sale. We bought our photo package & of course it's extremely overpriced, but it was a memorable moment for a first date weekend so we bought them anyway.
