💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Save on parking by using the public lot behind the building ($3-4) instead of on-site valet ($15), then walk a couple blocks to the entrance
  • 💡Visit the restaurant upstairs to see the nicest aquarium tank on-site, and take advantage of happy hour to avoid leaving during peak traffic times
  • 🕐Arrive early to maximize enjoyment of animal attractions like the stingray petting area and Shark Voyage Train ride before crowds build up
  • 💡Be aware that viewing sharks requires payment of an additional fee beyond general admission, but the on-site tigers offer a unique alternative not found in typical aquariums
  • 💡Bring cash or mobile payment capability for the parking lot, which is credit card only with pay-by-text or QR code options available
