The entire aquarium is built around a large cylindrical tank in the middle of the building.

It was balls cold outside but we did a quick run to see the seals.

There is a decent variety of animals here. Right when you walk in, there are stingrays and there's a little sea turtle "hospital" (no real turtles for you to treat, sorry) but they have amazing jellyfish tanks in the same area.

Then, you can work your way up the four floors of the aquarium. There are squawky little penguins right at the bottom which I loved so much. As you make your way up to the top, exhibits line the walls seahorses, lungfish, more jellyfish, and etc.

The center tank has a wide variety of animals mixed together: sea turtles, sunfish, huge schools of fish. When you get to the very top you can look down into the tank.

It was a small place, not much if you've ever been to Baltimore or even Monterey Bay. But, it got the job done and I will always go to an aquarium no matter the size.
