What visitors say
So this is the zoo. You pay zoo admission. You can host a birthday party here and get a behind the scenes tour of the aquarium. Pretty neat for what it is. Maybe one day they can turn it into something more
Mostly salt water fish. The guy seemed very knowledgeable
Pretty cool section of the zoo.
