See more than 30 sharks swimming in the 1.3 million-gallon (4.9 million-liter) main tank, one of the biggest in the US. Plus, observe a multitude of other sea life including pufferfish, green sawfish, piranhas, Moray eels and jellyfish.

Small but worth the stop

Published on Jan, 2025

I love aquariums and marine life my husband & I purchased tickets. 2 adults was $60. It's on the small side and took us 25 minutes to walk through. They will take your picture and you have the option to buy. They also have a nice gift shop for souvenirs.

Visit! Do it!
