Overall, I would say it was better then I expected from all the negative reviews on here. I would definitely would recommend the Annual Passes otherwise I would say it's pretty expensive at $22 a ticket while for a season tickets which costed me $45($90 for two annual passes.) In my opinion they should really only charge $12 per ticket.... to be fair. As For parking, I'll save $5 bucks and park in the street for free. Honestly if your a Annual Pass holder parking should be free but it's not. I strongly suggest buying your passes online so you can just basically walk in. Otherwise you'll be stuck in the Crowd to buy tickets.
The Aquarium is bigger then I expected and they did a nice job if integrating it into the power house. There are some things there that you wouldn't be able to see at the Zoo which is nice. I would say whoever designed the seating/ rest area's is not very practical because although white wooden lawn chairs are nice and fit in with the scene. It's just not very practical. They would have been better off with Benches which would make more space and more people could actually sit. The shark tank is still cloudy and hopefully it will be better in a few months. The sea tube was nice but I wish they had a mirror or a illusion on top of the sea tube so you couldn't tell how high the water was above the tube. Which in fact it is only 1 1/2 feet to 2 feet above the tube which is kinda sad. I would say they do need more interactive area's other then the touch and feel area. Maybe some Electronic interactive screens or video's would have been nice. I'd give it a 3 stars if I only got the $22 dollar ticket.... I would feel a little ripped off and would have a poor experience with waiting in line and being with the big crowd being let in all at once. But I'm a annual pass holder so 4 stars because I plan to visit at least 4 times before my pass expires and never having to wait in line is very nice.....
