If you like fish, then this is a place for you. The aquarium is a non-profit organization. There are plenty of fishes from different parts of the world, crabs, and jelly fishes. They also have a big octopus and some rare fishers. Each fish habitat is well constructed. These people really care about the fish. Then go outside and play and pet the sting rays (they stingers are removed) and sharks. You can even watch a live feeding of the animals. Then there is a bird habitat where you can buy nectar and feed them. Just hold the cup and the little birdie flies right up to you! There is a handwashing station for clean up. Right now, they have this promotion with whales. I did not get this, I thought it was a whale show or movie but it is a big model whale and some kiosks. There is a 3D honda theater which has a separate cost. I say skip this commercial because it took me a while to adjust to the 3D glasses. I think they are perfect if you have kooky eyes. Use the money instead to buy some nectar for the birds. Parking is free in the garage next to the aquarium as long as you show your "guide book." This is a good place for kids and they will learn something and have fun using the "whale passport stamps." There is a chilli's not far from the aquarium so you can get something to eat before you leave. Look for deals to save on admission. There is a 2 for 1 in the Entertainment book. What I like most about the place was that it wasn't a tourist trap like the Monterey Aquarium up north.
