What a wonderful aquarium!

My wife, my sister, and I went on a Monday about 2ish hours before closing and we were still able to catch a show before the aquarium closed for the day. We missed the tank petting time though but mostly because we didn't realize there was one. It's nestled between the upper floors near the children play area. We saw you could pet small sharks along with the normal sea life they offer.

The aquarium is split between multiple floors and a sizeable outside portion with seals and penguins. Inside there's massive tanks with sharks, sunfish, and large salt-water sealife. The sharks are what I primarily looking forward to and it did not disappoint. They had some jellyfish but the tanks for them were lackluster. They had a few large crabs and other tidepool sealife available but the main attraction is the bigger fish and sharks. They also had a baby shark area that shows you how they take care of them.

The show itself was very entertaining. The seal was incredibly smart and intuitive and a joy to watch. The dolphins and their trainers were phenomenal as well.

I would say alott 2-3 hours for really seeing and learning about what's offered here. Maybe more if you're going to do all of the shows and petting part. Free parking and an expansion giftshop as well.
