While this aquarium was a little smaller than what I was expecting, it was nicely done. There are many different marine animals on show. The penguins and sea lions were my favorite. Highly recommend for families of all ages.

It was the perfect place to take grandchildren, they loved the experience! It reminded us again of the beautiful earth we inhabit and of an awesome God that we serve!

If you love penguins and turtles, this is the place for you! Tons of penguins on the first floor and you can watch feeding time. There’s also a central tank with plenty of fish and three giant turtles. You can also watch the turtles get fed at the top of the tank.
