We were so excited that we were taking family from out of state to this beautiful new aquarium., there were 8 of us. It was over priced for what you get. We got in line for to purchase our tickets and were told credit card machines were down but we could go online to purchase our tickets, of course there was an extra processing fee for that. The escalator was broke and outside of the gift shop smelled like sewage. Very disappointed with the tide pool area, as an adult I had a hard time reaching in and there was not much in it. I thought the price of admission included the dolphin exhibit but I guess not because we did not see it. Wish I would have done a little more research before we went. It's a one and done for us.
