Every time I have gone here I have been so disappointed in the staff, in the admission price, in the lack of exhibits...it's just very troubling to me that this could have been a world-class Aquarium and instead it seems to be a joke. It took many years and tons of money to make the aquarium dream a reality. Sadly, that dream is more of a nightmare.
The price to get in, per adult, is around $12 per person, slightly lower for children. This would not be so bad in and of itself if there were exhibits that were open. Instead, you see alot of blacked out walls and empty tanks. Hardly worth the money.
The staff also seems to be confused about hours and dates of operation, as there have been occasions where I have called ahead to ensure that the aquarium would be open, only to get there and find that it is, in fact, closed for personal parties.
I cannot reccomend this Aquarium. If you want a very good aquarium adventure, drive to Myrtle Beach and see Ripley's Aquarium.
