What visitors say
This is a rather small aquarium, but it's worth stopping in if you are at the zoo. The penguin enclosure is fun, but the other offerings are rather limited.
It's not a nice a i expected definite signs of lackluster maintenence animals are not being managed properly. The aquarium alone was in rough shape. The tigers are in rough shape underfed and very little exercise. The only good I saw…
Love it there been there many times just now it cast so much more now
