Super beautiful and clean place to visit. If you're from out of town it's great on rainy days. Some of the exhibits are amazingly well done and others are just okay. I generally love seeing jellyfish but that was my least favorite. Not many in it which is fine but it's also just a exceptionally plain tank. The big main tank was wonderful with great species in it. Above they have viewing holes which the younger kids love to sit and watch thru. They have lots of feedings and viewings. Also do feed the birds, its a fun time and they'll land on you. Juat check your clothing afterwards. They have paper towels and soap to clean off. They're in the middle of building a new exhibit but it doesn't detract. You also get a free movie with your ticket. We saw the one about hurricane Katrina and it was very informative and well done. All in all a great place to visit with kids. Lots of photo opps too!
