Ok, this place is so pricey! Be prepped for a steep price for all, they have memberships, but for the casual one-time visitors it is a pretty penny. That being said, the aquarium has some nice extras: rotating cinema type seating area that transports the patrons to the various "tanks" to see sea lions, sharks, sea turtles, etc. There is a movie, 300 seats, but we didn't go there. There is an escalator that takes you down through some sea life and they have a hall of mirrors (fun but expensive) and the butterfly area (all three attractions are separately priced or come in a package). Affordable gift shop and a "mall" of sorts built around the whole thing. Very nice and family oriented, good for a nice little family vacay visit!
