Went on a Monday mid-day with a party of (7). Entering the aquarium was decent and understandable with any sort of related place like this (about 10 min wait in line).
- The layout of the whole building is pretty self-explanatory and easy to navigate.
- The exhibits are pretty sweet for being in the middle of the desert. Ranging from local US to exotic world wide.
- Educational with easy to read plaquards.
- Pretty good room to move around but can be a little tight during peak times with strollers (but there are areas to park your stroller which a nice option).
- The carousel is definitely a highlight...just do it, you'll see! And no its not your typical merry go round carousel.
- Obviously with any new attraction the memberships are discounted which is pretty nice...we have the lifetime which grants us unlimited visits with our family (we have a good amount of visiting fam/friends throughout the year.).
Suggest going sooner than later with the popularity growing! There are also concerts and a lot of new shops and restaurants going in around the aquarium which will make the whole or half day spent convenient.
Cheers and enjoy!
