I wish I read the reviews! As much as I made sure we took our time to enjoy this (cuz we knew with the price we wouldn't return) we still missed things! I never looked up when we came in the door, so we missed the globe things. I didn't use the bathroom when we first got there, so I missed the shark tank inside the restroom. And I never saw a 3D movie- I thought the fish tank was the 3D 'movie', I never saw signs to a real movie.
Kind of lame that you can only see turtles and sea lions if u ride the carousel. Which the map doesn't explain that whole concept. The map makes you think it's just a big room.
The foodcourt is located in the middle of the 'tour' so if ur hungry when u get there u have to go through the exhibits to find it. The food court is almost too big and has too much seating. There is a sign outside the lighthouse with what's on the menu but only listed the calorie count and not the prices.
I was disappointed in the penguins, we turned the corner and I said 'that's it?' Super small exhibit!
The inside is not ver aesthetically pleasing, lots of blank walls. There was no flow to the exhibits, just a tank here and a tank there. There is lots of tanks that are so high up that they have steps for the kids so they can see, despite the yellow caution tape you can easily hit your leg on them.
Too many cat fish!!
Lastly too many escalators! When u come through the door you have to go up, then half way through you go down, and at the end you go up (to go through the gift shop) and you end up on the second story in which to leave you now have to go down!
