Best time
Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds and have a more enjoyable experience. Multiple reviews highlight that weekday visits resulted in significantly fewer people, making it easier to interact with exhibits and take photos without feeling rushed.
Visitor tip
Start with the 360° Ocean Tunnel and starfish touch pools—these are consistently highlighted as the must-see exhibits. The tunnel provides great photo opportunities and the hands-on starfish station is a favorite interactive experience for all ages.
Visitor tip
This aquarium is best suited for children ages 2-10, though adults also enjoy it. Narrow passageways can be crowded with strollers, so visiting during off-peak hours (weekdays) helps navigate more easily with young children.
