Went to this place 4 times already, first visit was on the opening weekend standing outside in the cold.
Last time I went there I made sure to purchase the tickets online and they will scan the tickets on you smart phone (so no printing required)
$29.98 might sound a little pricey specially if you have a big family. But it's well worth that money. If you take your time it takes at least 3+ hours to checkout the entire aquarium.
It's also the creative ways the species are displayed. Just mind blowing. Many interesting stuff in every corner for the kids....the tunnel that goes through the shark tank.
My favorite was the jelly fish tank, it looked so dreamy.
Parking could be a nightmare also expensive, specially if there's a game happening at rogers center or other events around. So add that into your budget.
Highly recommend this place! Parking is the only down side. So minus 1 star for that!
