I have been to this aquarium 2x now. First time was a few years ago I went with my boyfriend and our kids (3&4 years old) I thought it was awful but kept it to myself because kids seemed to like it.

Today I brought my now six year old. First, we had to stand in line for approximately 45 minutes (longer than it took to look at exhibits) . Then to pay about $50.00 just for entry! To go in to a crazy mob scene. People EVERYWHERE no maximum capacity? Strollers all over, the lighting was awful, tanks were filthy, two sea turtles except one was just plunked on a rock lifeless. No sharks. Forget the touch center total chaos my daughter couldn't even see over the wave of people. So over priced for nothing. Not to mention paying $32 just to park my car for two hours ..

Mystic aquarium is so much bigger more beautiful, bigger variety, fair in price with discount.
