What visitors say
I touched a jellyfish and I lived to tell the tale
OMG!! I'm 1,000% going again, it was worth every penny to see how our ocean/bodies of water connect/matter. There was a school on a field trip and it gave me nostalgia, they made great memories I'm sure 😄😄🫶🏾
During the summer go can go to the back and pet some jellyfish or Ray's enjoy this is free at the aquarium but the rest of the aquarium cost to enter but is well worth it
