I hear that the Ripley aquarium franchises are all unique and not simply duplicates of one another. For example, this one focused quite a bit on marine life in Canadian waters.
It is a great place for kids and adults alike to learn and gape at some magnificent displays. They do a few diving shows every day, so it's not just all walking around and reading panels. They've managed to make great use of the limited space - there is a underwater tunnel and a mesmerizing floor-to-ceiling kelp tank.
My only point of dissatisfaction is that I purchased an annual pass back in October and received a temporary pass - but the permanent card was never mailed or me nor was I contacted to pick it up....
