I seriously think people are being way too harsh or had a very different experience than me! Yes, we did have to wait in line for about 15 min before entering. Who cares! There was an awesome live band playing in the courtyard. We signed up for a 3:45 time and were in the aquarium by 4. \n\nThe restrooms right when you walk in do have a view into a tank which was super cool. Then you go up an escalator and the journey begins. \n\n****the information about what you are seeing in the tank is on the TV next to the tank*****\nI see all these reviews about there not being plaques that labeled what you are looking at. Clearly those people did not see the tvs because there was some really interesting info. about the different types of sea life in the tanks. \n\nThere are a lot of fish. I loved the little otters and the penguins are warming up! The 3D show was pretty cool. I just wish the seating was better because my tall boyfriend sat in front of some kids and felt bad. Should be stadium seating. \n\nThe moving carousel was amazing. You can tell they need to work some kinks out. For example there was some weird awkward silences and it was really hot in there!! But the ability to see the sea life from that perspective was amazing and really made the experience worth it. \n\nThe gift shop was extensive and had some great stuff. \n\nThe staff seemed to know what they were doing in my opinion. They were super helpful and knowledgable. I am really excited to see how the place shapes up. I see they are putting in a four peaks, it's sugar and nektar. \n\nI loved it but would recommend waiting a little bit longer until some more of the shops in the pavilion open up. This will be a great place to hang out all day for the whole family."^^ .
