The boyfriend took me here on a day date and i was so excited. I'm a fan of the "under the sea" world and have quite the love affair with all of its crazy residents. I will say that if you are a local be sure to show your ID for a local discount.
The place is fairly small and I think it only took us about 45 minutes to explore everything and take all of our pictures. I spent the most time in the "petting zone" touching those beautiful, small stingrays and being intrigued by the jellyfish glow. (that are makes for some awesome pictures!) I also loved finding the octopus behind the jellyfish. I even think it was bigger than me.
I was a little disappointed by the "shipwreck" area at the very end. for being called the shark reef I would have expected more sharks. maybe they were hiding that afternoon or away on a deep sea vacation. who knows but all i know is most of them were not in sight and we stayed for a little while trying to find some. The ones we did see were about the size of the turtles that kept swimming over our heads and those turtles made me excited. I did spot one swordfish shark to the right of the shipwreck though.
I would say this would be a good day adventure for children who love the sea and fish.
