What it's like
First when you enter, you will have a nice & scary photo taken with a giant octopus, it’s available for purchase later.
After the picture, you’ll enter and be directed into a 5D Theater where you will have a short video experience to start your journey! This is quite unique and cool.
The Aquarium
Then, you’ll actually enter the Aquarium with sea creatures. One of the first things you’ll see is a big red octopus at the beginning of the Aquarium, you’ll see many different fish and lots of sharks throughout. There is a unique mirror room full of jellyfish that can change color, a big water tunnel that makes you feel like you’re swimming with the fish. You’ll go into a huge mermaid palace room with photo areas for taking pictures.
Finally, there’s an activity room at the end where kids can touch stingrays, climb a climbing tree, draw ocean creatures and watch them come to life and a big gift shop. We’ve been to quite a few aquariums including the one in Atlanta, but this one is unique and has a few better things to offer. Right now (March 2022) they’re making a big waterfall right in front of the Aquarium.
