Catch an underwater view from the atrium below or watch the tricks from the stands, but be warned: The…

Great aquarium albeit a bit pricey
by aaront31
While this isn't my absolute favorite aquarium (Long Beach), it is definitely in the top five. The displays could be a little bit larger in a few areas and the biggest complaint I had is that many of their attractions have animals displayed that should be in the tank but half of them are missing. And there's not a single jellyfish in the whole place...what's up with that?
Otherwise, the newest attractions of frogs and Australia are highly recommended as is the large Ray / Shark displays.
- Pros: Some good new displays
- Cons: Bit pricey and some displays could be bigger

very dissapointed, not worth the price. The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha has a much nicer aquarium and at half the price you still have the rest of the zoo to see!!
- Pros: location
- Cons: expensive, crowded

AWESOME VISIT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
by travelbugs
By far the best Aquarium. You will love the dolphin show PLAY! It's included with admission & it alone is worth the price of the aquarium. Try to by your tickets ahead of time rather then pay to double park in the area as you are given a timed ticked. Ticketmaster offers these but call them in. If you buy in advance you can pick your time & go as early as possible to avoid crowding at the aquarium. Pay close attention to what it says is the best time to go on their web site cause it will get crowded! The sites more then compensate for any waiting that you may have to do. There is no way I could every say enough about the exhibits as they are ALL AWESOME! Definitly going back! HATS OFF! AAA+++ Plan for 4 hours to enjoy!
- Pros: Dolphin Show PLAY, Price is worth it, The WHOLE thing
- Cons: NONE Absolutly NONE
