"Red Hat Ladies have a fun afternoon at the aquarium 🐠🐟"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 10, 2024
My Vice-Queen and myself enjoyed walking through the aquarium, seeing the various exhibits and displays of sea creatures. We had decided to do an indoor activity, because of the rain. The facilities were well laid out and it never felt congested. We loved interacting with staff during a feeding time and photo time with the mermaid. We will be back with more of our Red Hat members!
