The water park was great for the younger kids. It was the only place that wasn’t insanely crowded. The rest of the facility was so crowded that small children couldn’t get to the front to see the wild life.

As 2 adults, going to this aquarium was underwhelming. I expected something bigger and more exciting. It was pretty boring over all if I’m being honest. I think the best part was getting a caricature done

Loved our experience! Favorite part was that huge fish “neighborhood” just sit there and wait for a crowd to move on and the music, the view into their day is the best way to end the day.
