If you've ever been to a nice aquarium, you'll be exceptionally disappointed. We budgeted 2 hours, but had a hard time filling 1. There just isn't much to see. I realize many people are using coupons and groupons and discounts, but I think the ratings would be lower if they had to pay full price.
I know many people won't care about this, but one of *my favorite things about museums, zoos, botanical centers, caves, etc. are the educationally themed gift shops. As a homeschool family, my BEST finds have been in amazing educational gift shops. Sea Life has nothing but trinkets, plush animals and candy.
