Although small, it is worth a visit. I enjoyed my walk through. Clean and the animals appear to be well taken care of. Nice place to take the kids. Decent gift shop. Located next to the river, so great location.

We had an awesome time at the aquarium. They had a whole bunch of different animals to see and a great touch tank of rays. The penguin exhibit was one of my favs! We weren’t so interested in the insectarium at first but we ended up loving that part too. Bradley in the Butterfly Garden was great, he answered all of our questions and we learned so much from him! Don’t skip the insect part while you’re there.
