Very nice exhibits. Lots of informational talks given throughout the day. Very clean.
There are a lot of volunteers in various areas of the aquarium who are quite helpful and friendly. Almost all of the employees I encountered were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to find. Out of 7 hours at the aquarium I met only one employee who was quite unpleasant...he was a cook in the soup area of the cafe.
I would have liked to been able to read more of the signs at the exhibits but due to the placement of on average only one sign per exhibit it was difficult to even see the signs due to the amount of people crowded around each exhibit. Perhaps on a weekday the crowds aren't as large, thus the signs are easier to see. I was there on a Saturday and the aquarium was very very busy.
Overall it is a beautiful and well maintained aquarium with many interesting things to see and learn about.
