Been loving the aquarium for 40 years (used to go every week as members) but just can t take my family anymore. $38 for an adult? $30 for a student? In a city where the cost of living already makes sights like this a maybe luxury? Mental. I get that they have operating costs, but there has to be some way to make the aquarium profitable and also reasonably affordable. Makes a once-a-year visit about the only realistic option. Tourists over locals, yet again. So sad.
