Anyone been here before? How does it rate?

I will be staying 1/2 mile from the aquarium for the next week. I will definately be visiting, but was curious if anyone had been there and could give me an idea of how much time I will probably be wanting to spend there.

I didn't enjoy the place very much. Alot of fake corals and aquascaping. They had a few interesting things but a let down for the most part!

It is fabulous. Maybe the best in the US. Large performance show arena and everything. Worth seeing that part because not many public aquariums have that. Definitely a top aquarium.

I actually thought their poison dart frog exhibit was the best thing... it was my main reason for going.

btw- I'll be there again in November

I loved it as well. Don't miss the window to the plumbing room. There is only one tank with SPS and are a lot of fake corals but the fish are great. I really appreciated the coral reef tank. Great example of a pretty tank with inexpensive coral.
