Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Was quiet-not very busy today when we went. The building and tanks were awesome. But having to pay to park and then it being $20 to get in was a bit outrageous. I understand it takes alot to house, feed, maintain all the displays and fish, but we paid $5 more for the Newport aquarium in Cincinnati and it's considerably bigger and the aquarium in Chattanooga Tennessee is huge and costs abt the same as the Newport aquarium when we went. It's a nice quick display, especially for kids who don't have a long attention span.
