Staying at the Mandalay Bay it was pretty much a given that I would come here. I love animals and I am fascinated with the ocean. I really enjoyed my experience here. They had a beautiful display of jelly fish that were green and red to resemble Christmas colors. They had a lot of sharks as well and it is just so cool to watch them swim. They had many tanks with all kinds of different fish. The also had a pool with sting rays in it and they let you pet them which was pretty awesome. I really think you should come see for yourself. The tickets are $18 which isnt bad. The only drawbacks is when it gets crowded which it was it is hard to see and take pictures. The spaces to look are on the small side so when it is crowded it kind of messes it up a little. The other thing is that is short. Monterrey Aquarium for example is much larger. You will get through this one pretty quick. Other than that it was enjoyable and educational. They have a giftshop at the end that has some pretty cool souveniors.
