Sea Life is a chain of aquariums that are usually housed in shopping centers. They are small and confined by the space they occupy. The exhibits are also small. Kid friendly. Numerous open water exhibits, a touch pool with sea urchins, and the newest crowd pleaser, an acrylic tunnel that runs underneath an exhibit stocked with sting rays, sharks and green sea turtles. Packed with educational information, Sea Life aquariums generally have been accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Accreditation is vigorous, thorough and expensive. So, they are doing something right. Many will be disappointed at how small the facility is, given the price of admission. A valid gripe. They try to make up for lack of space by plastering every surface with educational messaging. The adults may appreciate this. But, it's over the heads of the kids. There is a small climbing facility near the end of the facility.
If education is your goal, this is an OK place to go, if you're willing to coach your kids on the educational messages scattered through-out. Kids can point and be in awe of various exhibits filled with different animals (fish, turtles, sharks, rays, jelly fish etc.) But on a rainy day, it's a short, expensive diversion.
