We bought parking with the ticket and I'm glad we did. The lot fills up. There was a long walk from the covered lot to the aquarium. It would have been wheelchair accessible. You need to make your ticket purchase online so you can reserve your time. We went to the two shows included in the ticket price. The Dolph show seats a thousand or more people and is very good. Be mindful where you sit for both shows. The seats are marked because the animals LOVE to splash the audience. The walrus show was also very enjoyable and seats fewer people. I would arrive 20 min early for the show because many seats are ubstructed by pillars supporting the structure. This was a very enjoyable venue, unlike any other aquarium I have ever been to. It is a bit difficult to take pictures of the marine life. The lighting makes everything look blue when the actual scenes have vivid color. The tickets are a bit pricey. There is food available there. You order through your phone and are notified when to pick up your order. We only stayed a little over three hours. We were able to see all we wanted in that time. We chose to eat at a restaurant elsewhere. It was a great day.
