Small but worth the stop

Published on Jan, 2025

I love aquariums and marine life my husband & I purchased tickets. 2 adults was $60. It's on the small side and took us 25 minutes to walk through. They will take your picture and you have the option to buy. They also have a nice gift shop for souvenirs.

Visit! Do it!
