It took forever just to get to Shark Reef Aquarium, I mean we seriously walked the tunnels of the Mandalay Bay for about 15- 20 minutes and then waited on line to buy our tickets. Just as many tourist friendly places you take these silly looking pictures before you actually do the tour and of course they try to sell the over priced picture at the end of your tour.
We finished the tour in probably 45-60 minutes and that was probably because we took so many pictures of the beautiful fish and sharks. The tanks were clean and you could tell that they maintained the area very well. They have a manta ray petting tank so you can lean over and rub their backs. I had to jump in front of a few kids just to see the sharks and take my shots before the next wave of kids came running in.
For $18 I was expecting (/hoping) to see more, maybe some huge sharks or something out of the Jaws movie but then again it is a family friendly place.
