I'm not sure it's possible to review this place for me beyond just saying "go go go go go". I was real careful to schedule a visit when nobody was on any kind of school break. Even so, there were less than two hours before noon when there were a good amount of local field trip kids, and I'll tell ya: the screaming of pubescent vocal cords around glass tanks is a trying experience, so bring headphones if you're sensitive to that! I zoned out a long time to the open ocean tank, it's huge and incredible. You can't help but be awed by the kelp forest tank, and the bat rays were pretty much the best Jell-o dogs ever.
