This aquarium has a large number of and diverse selection of sea creatures. I got to see kinds of creatures such as lobed comb jelly, sea gooseberry, and garden eel that I don't think I've seen before. We also got to watch the feeding of African penguins and sea otters. The more aquariums I visit, the more I realize that I'd prefer watching sea creatures in their natural habitat, but nonetheless, this aquarium provides a safe and very educational place for children and anyone who wants to learn more about sea creatures. Many staff are stationed in each area just in case you require more information or assistance. They also have presentations in the auditorium. The one we attended on sharks was highly entertaining and informative. You can spend 2-3 hours comfortably. There is no parking so find parking elsewhere. Lastly, the admission is super pricey at $50 US per adult.
