| - The only predator-based aquarium in North America! Sharks did abound and some of them flitted about just slow enough that I could catch them on the same photo frame. It was great to be a kid again for an hour and behold the creatures from that other world on our planet. With 15 different species of shark, there is little to disappoint. They even supplement the aquarium with additions of jellyfish, octopi, eels, piranhas, and so on. Over all, I was very pleased with the diversity, and I found the free audio guide especially useful for learning more about the different species of shark I was observing. The last room even has tanks on either side of a hallway with a connector overhead allowing a seamless way for the fish to swim from one tank to the other.
There are a couple of drawbacks though. The line is long and, being family friendly, there are plenty of kids about. Also they force you to pose for a photograph before actually entering the aquarium which takes more time to actually enter. The photo sells for $25 and includes a lovely frame and a free digital copy (okay I bought one, shut up). Finally, the aquarium is a bit small which explains the lower price point of $16.95 for adults. This caught me off guard since I was expecting more, and I found myself actually exiting.
