Don't waste your time or money. First of all it cost $40.00 just for parking, then a wait of over 30 minutes to purchase tickets because if you purchase them online they charge you a fee, three tickets was $77. Then once we got inside it was very hot inside and jam packed with people. All of the glass to see the fish was covered in dirty hand prints and due to the amount of people you could not get close enough to see anything without getting shoved. There were no dolphins or larger animals other than a few seals and some penguins. There was a large selection of fish, but was looking for more. We did not do the IMAX theatre so I cannot speak for that, but the aquarium itself, took us just a little over an hour to go through and cost us $117.00. Definitely NOT worth it, I am not the type to write negative reviews but was not impressed at all. take the trip to Mystic in Connecticut, much better value and nicer place.
