My husband and I attended a convention in Key Biscayne. We won tickets to the Sequarium as a gag gift. We went with a group of adults, who were immediately appalled with it's dilapidated condition. There was mold on the windows, leakage everywhere, loose electrical cords, compromised stabilizers, and the stench of poorly cared for animals throughout our short visit. We were most concerned for the children who attended, and wondered what would become of them if a faulty stabilizer failed. It was deplorable and got worse when we viewed a whale, lovely creature, held stagnant in fish tank not as large as our hotel's pool. At first, I thought it was some kind of awful joke, but found out later that this lovely creature has been held there for approximately forty years. When I voiced my concern, the aquarium's employees became defensive and rude. This truly turned out to be a GAG gift, and I have hoped, ever since our visit, that this awful roadside zoo, will close down for the sake of it's patrons and those poor animals. Oh my, it is awful. How do they get away with that?
Pros: Exit door
Cons: Everything between arrival and departure
