For $18 you can watch an octopus suction itself to its tank, make googly faces at a lionfish, and pet a stingray. If you ask me, that's a pretty good deal. \n\nIt's pretty small as far as aquariums go, but they pack it full of stuff. You can get right up against the glass of the tank and get up close and personal with the fishies. The staff is super knowledgeable and approachable and will answer all your questions, no matter how dumb they sound. Even as an adult, this place is pretty magical. \n\nIt's laid out nicely in a kind of winding pattern so you don't get bored -- each tank is a new adventure rearing around the bend. The glass tunnels and glass floors are enchanting and a bit frightening. Everyone does a halted test step onto the glass then walks carefully along the edge. Only the brave venture out into the middle. There is a sort of bench along the glass in the last tunnel where you can sit for a while as sharks swim all around and behind and on top of you beyond the glass. \n\nThe souvenir photos are great! You don't really know they're coming up as you enter and they just kind of start chucking poses at you. It catches you off-guard so your pictures turn out candid and natural and not all posey posey and stuffy. First souvenir photos I've ever bought!
