Awesome Birthday

My son absolutely loved his 8th birthday here at the Aquarium, we were able to catch 2 feeding times and I love how it is an all day pass so you can leave and return. Lovely staff members. Loves that we got to enjoy it at a discounted price !

Would highly recommend

Had such a great time, we were lucky enough to see the divers feeding the fish was amazing, and the drivers had a lot of fun with the audience watching, they even done some underwater tricks for us.
