My family enjoyed our visit here over the weekend....

My family enjoyed our visit here over the weekend. The exhibits were great and I love how they included benches in front of almost every large tank to sit and watch the fish swim about. It was quite busy when we came which was to be expected but we missed some tanks due to people crowding around. It was a little overwhelming and claustrophobic at times but that's not the facilities fault! My biggest complaint would be the exit area with the stingrays. The area is far too small for all the people and it wasn't clear where the "normal" exit was. The area you go to pay for face painting is a tiny booth right next to the stingray pool so there was no area for a line to form. It was just a little chaotic so we skipped face painting because we didn't want to have to deal with it. My only other complaint was the restaurant. It's very fancy and cool with tanks for you to watch the fish while you eat but holy moly the prices!!! It wasn't cheap getting into the aquarium in the first place and then when we viewed the menu... the cheapest items were $15 appetizers. This might be "normal" for Denver but not for our family. Sadly, we left to eat elsewhere but am sure the food would have been delicious. At least we'd hope so for those prices lol Overall, we will absolutely be back but maybe on a weekday so it's not so crowded :-)
