Was fun and informative. There were many animals that did not have signs/labels for them. Weren’t sure how to engage certain interactive children’s activities.

Aquarium was good enjoyed seeing all the fish. It’s more for kids than grown-ups, which is all right. We still enjoyed it.

Some complain about the price. The price is a value for all you get to see and the quality of the aquarium. The tanks are clean, the fish & turtles are healthy, the signage is good, the activities and info for kids is fabulous. I was just a bit put off that I could not pay, get a ticket and enter. I asked an employee if she could help me get past the email part of ticketing. I really didn’t want to provide an email address. She said it was mandatory and if I put a fake address they would not be able to verify that I paid and I could get thrown out. She may have said “end your visit”. All the same. So, my visit was negative before it started. I tried to put that aside while I continued on with the visit. I would not have continued on but I paid a lot to rideshare there so I went ahead with it. I may have given my email if it was an option at the end of the visit but demanding it before you can enter is ridiculous.

This is a very small aquarium in a mall. Not sure how one spends 2h there. We walked slowly through all the exhibits and did all the little assignments and were done in less than an hour. Exhibits are interesting and well maintained, there are just not a lot of them. Not worth $25 per person in my opinion.

Small Aquarium, great for small children and families , includes a nice area for interaction, a nice break from the mall.

We visited SEA LIFE for my son’s birthday and had an unforgettable time! 🐠🎉 The exhibits were fantastic, and my son loved exploring everything. He had a blast picking out a toy and some other cool items from the gift shop 🧸🛍️. I also found a few things for myself—there are some really unique items in there! 😍 If you’re looking for a fun, interactive experience with a great souvenir shop, this is the place to go! Highly recommend! 🙌🏽

We live about 30 minutes away from this location, but have never actually attended it. We had a nice time. It wasn’t huge, but there was an intimacy to it. If you require a wheelchair, I would make plans prior to getting there by going to the mall security. They can provide you with a wheelchair. Although we went to quite a few aquariums throughout the country, I learned several things at this visit. My favorite exhibit was the jellyfish tank.

There were too few exhibits for the admission price. If I were to put a value to it, I’d say $10 to $15 should be the most paid.

Boring for adults, ok for small children. Expensive for what it is. Nothing special about the exhibit.
