Well, they tried. And for the desert, this is nice! However, the return on investment just isn't there.
Pros- submarine exhibit
Touch pools
Decent sized
Cons- $40 per person
Staff was nice but I nobody seemed knowledgeable or trying to educate
This seems more "for profit" than to teach the public(not enough placards, staff or literature)
Will I return, probably not. This aquarium does not compare to the big dog aquariums but it's a fine way to pass the afternoon.
