  • wonderful place for children and adults
    we took our 6 grandchildren to the aquarium and i think the adults enjoyed it as much as the children. it was quite expensive for a family of 14, maybe they should give lower rates to children under 12. but, all in all, it was a great place to go.

  • Pricey but Interesting

    We took our two year old and she loved it but we were able to walk through the entire aquarium in about an hour. It cost us like $50 for admission. It was kinda neat but been there once and I'll go again when my daughter is like 5.

  • Enjoyed while it rained outside
    By PA to VA to NC now!, 06/22/08
    A bit pricey (but what isn't at the beach!) This was a neat aquarium with the kids (ages 5 & 8). They especially liked the moving floor through the tank that's above your head, seeing the sharks and saw heads and all the different fish. We watched the feeding the rays show, then went straight upstairs after the show, as the diver came ...

  • Well worth your time and money !!
    By kimvb70, 06/19/08
    This is the second time that my husband and I have gone through the aquarium. This time we went with our friends and their two children. Everyone had a wonderful experience. The children were so excited to see all of the sharks and fish. It is by far the best aquarium that I have ever been through. To walk through the tunnel and experience the ...

  • Very cool!!!
    By jwhitlock_2005, 06/18/08
    For $19 a person, we were not sure if we were going to get our money's worth, but as Midwestern folks, it was very neat. We do not see the kind of animals offered very often. There are better places to eat outside of the Aquarium, but catch the feedings and all the exhibits.

  • Great if you have never been before
    By foodcritic, 06/06/08
    Not worth the price you pay. Should be about 5-8.00 cheaper based on what you get to do and see. A few facts scattered about, two touch tanks and a nice long walk thru tank great for picture taking. There are some other small exhibits with facts. It's great if you have never been.

  • was fun!
    By Rosemary R, 05/31/08
    I think this may have been the highlight of our trip- was fun and educational. I would like to see more, especially for the price we paid, but I don't know what else they could do. I never thought I'd see the underbelly of a shark swimming above me- that was really neat!

  • Felt like a kid again!
    By Charlie, 04/12/08
    My husband and I went here on our anniversary trip to the beach. We had a lot of fun looking at the fish. The big tunnel with the water and fish all around you is really cool and great for photo opts with the big fish. Wasn't brave enough to do any of the "hands on" with the sting-rays or the big crab things. We were there around ...

  • Pricey
    By richard_curran2000, 04/08/08
    Aquarium was nice, but the pirce is high for what is offered. After about an hour you have seen and done everything. They rall only have one large tank and then about 8-10 small displays. Having been to Chattanooga, New Orleans, and Atlanta, I found this a little dissappointing. for 4 of us it was $60 some odd dollars and only an hours entertainment. $30 to $40 would have been more in line with waht they offer.
