I moved to Az in Nov last year. I've been 3 times since purchasing my annual pass. I love coming here and look forward to many more visits. I've brought out of town guests wanting to escape the Az heat. I love that they have new attractions every few months. I also like the food and drink choices offered here. There are plenty of places for everyone to get a good view of the animals. I understand they have mermaids twice a year to "Wow" visitors. Can't wait to see them! I agree with what others say about the docents/interpreters who greet guests and share information about the aquarium and animals. The staff are friendly, professional and genuine. Always a pleasure interacting with them. I recommend getting the Butterfly Wonderland pass as well since it is right next door. Staff there are great too. Between the 2 attractions, my visitors are always wowed.
