What families say

Expect a small, easy-to-navigate aquarium that families say takes well under an hour, so it pairs nicely with the attached botanical garden (the children's fantasy garden is a highlight, though little ones can wander off in spots) and a small splash pad near the restaurant—pack a change of clothes. It's clean and well-kept with fun tanks and an otter exhibit kids love, but a couple of recent visitors noted some exhibits were closed for work while they still paid full admission, so it's worth checking current exhibit status before you go.
