Very disappointing AND way overpriced
The facility can easily be seen in two hours at a leisurely pace, one hour if you don't stop to smell the flowers. The place was extremely deserted on a beautiful mid-week fall day in October, and there were definitely more employees floating around than visitors. Consequently, the employees looked bored and low-energy, and so did the patrons. It was like touring an abandoned property. Many exhibits were either shut down or not running. For my $26 admission fee, I felt really ripped off. It was one fish tank after another, and many of them weren't very interesting. The coolest thing I saw was the jellyfish and seahorses. The penguins were disappointing and seemed out of place in their somewhat warm habitat. Maybe things would have been better had I visited when the place is actually bustling, but the whole experience was very low energy and I felt bored and exhausted as a result. I can't recommend it at this price.
