It was really nice to see the variety of fish and how they survived together. The tunnel was so neat. They did a great job of providing education about the various species represented there. It was a very quick view though. About 1 hour. When I read about the event, I thought it was much bigger. The space they have is action-packed though.

I went with my mom, daughter and my niece as one of a birthday gift for her. We had so much fun. It was so beautiful and to see the reptiles and fish. It was a exciting experience to be up close and everything in a glass. I can’t wait to go again! It was so much fun!
