What visitors say
Very cool little aquarium on the island. Fun stuff for kids and adults. The touch pool with rays and sharks is pretty awesome. Gift shop with affordable cute souvenirs. Snack bar with ice cream and snacks. Staff was very friendly.…
For the size, location and price, they did well. Nice displays, informative for the region. Stingray petting pool. When we were visiting several busses of kids on a school trip were there. Nice staff and overall a great experience.
Amazing. Went with my nieces and nephews and we had a blast. What a Blessing to share with family. Bobby Jo gave us recommendations on other things to do on beach afterwards.
