I went there four years ago on a whim with my grandmother, and right from the get go, this place was a mistake, the admission was $40 a person and $8 to park and the parking lot does nothing to accomondate the amount of people visiting. The entire place can be seen in a hour and a half, the cafe was were extremely filthy, their were flies everywhere we sat and they followed you from table to table and the response from the workers was like "what do you expect us to do about it". The animals look very neglected, never have i have seen animals so sad, it's a disgrace. The park itself is falling apart, i sat on bench it almost broke, and thier motto is it's one of oldest aquariums in the US, that migh have been a cute motto if they made place look rustic and kept the place up to date, but it's just a cop out to let th place fall into disrepair. I agree with what some reviewers said and go to Seaworld in Orlando, it's a longer ride but you definitely get your money's worth, Stay clear of this place
