Exhibits set to be very kid friendly to the smallest of tykes being able to get an up close look. Even the gift shop was reasonably priced. We had a great time.

Was a bit nervous during COVID to visit. But they had 6ft distancing marked out and also regulated the visitors going through by timing at the entrance. We were happy with the experience

The displays were fun and colorful to look at. We especially enjoyed the ones with the seahorses. We enjoyed being able to go up into the tanks and get our pictures taken with the fish swimming around us. My grandson especially enjoyed the walk-through tank where the fish are above you and around you and the one where you walked over the fish and see them swimming under you. It was a wonderful experience.
Great Learning Experience.
