"Pleasant encounter"

The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the environment was peaceful and clean. The nurse sharks and Bella the stingray were our favorites. The only downside was the glare on the windows, which made it difficult to see inside the tanks. Overall, though, we enjoyed the visit.

This was a great hidden little gem! It definitely wasn’t what we were expecting for an aquarium, but it was a pleasant surprise. The guided tour by Lauren was very informative. We could definitely tell Sunny was her favorite!
