Decent aquarium. Has plenty of kid friendly exhibits and features.
It gets a B-, and that's only because I'm comparing it to the Baltimore Aquarium, and Long Beach, CA aquarium which both seem a lot more detailed in the scope of sealife (although not necessarily as kid friendly).
The biggest issue is parking, it's a disaster, and ridiculously expensive, most of the lots are full, and you'll still end up walking a half mile or more after spending $11-15 for parking that far away. I'd advise there is a public Camden tram, and bus service to take you right to the front and avoid the parking headache.
Pluses, it right against the water/river, and nice background of the riverfront and bridge on a nice sunny day.
Negatives, bring your own food or be prepared to wait in VERY long lines for food at their food court. We were in line for almost as long as we were there for the attractions, and it's subpar food, at airport prices, and not nearly enough seating/tables for the crowds or families. It just not worth eating here.
Overall, if your local, go for it.
If you want a much better experience, and atmosphere, I'd take the 2hr drive to Baltimore Inner Harbor for the Baltimore Aquarium. There is so much more there to see and do, and the Inner Harbor itself is an attraction of shops and various restaurants within itself.
