We Loved it. I bought tix on Travelzoo for a little cheaper.

When you first arrive you go up some stairs, through a gift shop, across the little Bridge. Pretty easy to get to. Right there on Pier 39, above Hard Rock Cafe.

So when you first walk in there's a couple tanks to see some fish. Then you go through a room, and come to some elevators. You just wait there and it takes you down to the lower levels.

When you're down there, there's more tanks with like jellyfish and different things. Then you walk through some tanks. Lots of different kinds of fish. Lots of leopard sharks. We didn't see too many other sharks. A few, but not too many. The second part of the walkthrough, you'll see a lot of stingrays. It's VERY crowded walking through.

You then take the elevator back up, where you can go into rooms where you can touch some stingrays. You can also touch some sea urchin type things in another tank. It's pretty interesting, and lots of fun.

There is also the little sea otters. Then it dumps you into another gift shop. LOL. They weren't letting you out that easy. They got some cute stuff in there. wWe got a shot glass and we bought a photo they took of us when you first arrive.

Definitely worth a stop in.
