Aquarium Restaurant
Surprisingly fun place! $15 to get in and see the aquarium is a fair price, it’s really quite cool. But everything can certainly add up when you add the other rides and snacks. That being said, my kids loved them all. Staff was friendly.
Also visited the restaurant which was very good. Neat atmosphere, separated from the hustle and bustle downstairs. Food was yum, service was fantastic. Manager was proactive, helpful and friendly. Will certainly return!
All in all, we visited the whole thing in about 4 hours, including lunch. So definitely not an all-day thing.

I took my children here to see the Perseid shower. It was very laid back, all of the volunteers were very kind and so excited to share what they know! I would absolutely go again! Bring your own folding chair(s) to make sure you get a seat, but there is plenty of room to stand and observe.
