| - Let me just start by saying that admission to this place costs more than the Phoenix Zoo... and it's in a mall! Once I was able to get past that, and realized that my still under 3 year-old daughter got free admission, I really had a good time. I had no expectations going in, but the exhibits they had were really impressive. All I had to do was look at the expression on my daughter's face as she ran from aquarium to aquarium yelling "Daddy, do you see that?!" to know that it was worth the trip. The best part of the exhibit was the large tank at the end with a viewing tunnel going through it. This gives you almost 360 degree views of everything from sharks to rays to jellyfish.
Word to the wise, though, if you're planning on making a trip to this place, maybe call ahead and see if their are any field trips planned for the day. We showed up at about the same time as 10 school buses did, and spent most of the day dodging 200 running, screaming elementary school kids.
Having lived in AZ for nearly 5 years now, and not getting to see a whole lot of sea life in that time, Sea Life AZ was a pretty neat experience and a place that I will definitely take my daughter to again... but only until she turns 3
