This aquarium was inside an old factory facility. It's well restructured into an aquarium... Not big, medium minus, but it was fun to explore. There is a stingray feeding session especially fun and a good experience for everyone. It's a good place for kids, adults, and families....

3 weeks agoSuch a great place, the unique history, great layout, friendly staff, love the touch a stingray....my favorite. It's always fun to be able to walk through the tunnel where sharks and stingrays swim around you. Loved the jellyfish washing machine and the tanks with the pipes. Very creative. I would highly recommend adding this to your list of places to visit while your there.
5 months agoMy husband and I just went here for the first time. We had such a great time. There was so much to look at and experience. You don't just get to look at the marine life, you even get to interact with some of them. This is very family friendly, so kids will love this too. And the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and will answer any of your questions. We spent a good 3 hours here just exploring and learning. And in the gift shop, they sell bracelets that help you track a shark that's been tagged in the ocean. I bought 2. I highly recommend this.
