I liked how despite the place being small, it was full of information and interesting things to see. It wasn't overly crowded today either, so I was able to stay and watch the animals for longer when I wanted to, which was great as a solo visitor. Overall, a good experience if this is your kind of thing.

It was a fun experience for my 18m old. Great place to go on a rainy day. Many other parents must have felt the same way because the amount of strollers coming in and out was constant.
I like that you have to reserve a time because it was not crowded at all. They manage the amount of people going inside well so we can all enjoy it comfortably. Also they designed the area really well.
My only disappointment was the price for a rather small place and short experience. You are in trouble if you have more than 1 kid. Unfortunately though the price hike is going on everywhere.
There was a kid’s play area that was being supervised but unfortunately my kiddo was too small. I really liked how the worker noticed my interest and told me more about why it would not work out for my child. He recommended 2.5+ and from the children I saw there it is very accurate. The kids I saw seem to be having a blast on it though. Also not crowded there were 3 at one time.

Went with my 12 almost 13 year old and we had fun. They have lots of unique fish we have never seen before.

A surprising location in the middle of a shopping center only enhances the impression of entering a fairy-tale world of underwater adventure. There are certainly bigger aquariums and more exciting exhibitions, but I was not disappointed after this visit. Definitely worth seeing.

A little pricey especially for adults. Brought my 10 yo niece. Definitely cool to see the different species in the extra large tank. Wasn’t too crowded and completed the entire aquarium in an hour which seemed short for the price paid. It was nice to experience once but probably wouldn’t return.

It's a nice place for kids. Many fish to see. What we didn't see were the "Sea Life Rangers." They are supposed to help the kids complete the Mission Pack (that we paid extra for). So we have an almost empty book.
The only other down about this place is that the kids' play area was closed

I was very sad. Fishes looked sad and as if they starving. I have been in many different aquariums in the past and never saw fishes acting like that. All fishes were looking and swimming to one direction, as if the were trying to escape the tank. I liked the selection of fishes, but it was a little disappointing to see fishes behavior. And some tanks were almost empty. Comparing the price here to Coney Island Aquarium I rather go to Coney Island. And taking into account that there is a free aquarium in American History Museum for New Yorkers I felt that it was too expensive. I have a LEGOLAND membership and didn’t have to pay but it wasn’t worth it. It was a very depressing experience for us and we left the aquarium in less than 30 minutes after exploring the place. It was a very small and depressing place.
