Check with the staff to find out when the windows will be cleaned and plan on going right after they are cleaned. It's better on a sunny day too. We enjoyed the show - the diver takes the time to show you the animals in the exhibit. Eels, crabs, and even an octopus. Use a coupon or buy a package pass that includes the was museum and Ripley's.

Walked in, down the stairs to the exhibit, walked around the room and noted the fish looked sick (literally, like they were dieing in front of our eyes), that it STANK, walked back up the stairs, wandered through the gift shop, and were back outside five minutes later. It was really that bad.

One of the fish was swimming into the wall repeatedly, another had something really wrong with one of the eyes.

If this was ever cool, they gave up a long time ago.

I used to go here as a child. I recently returned with my family. I was grateful that I didn't pay anything to go here as it was essentially free with my Groupon discount. This place is dirty, creepy, and houses some of the most ill appearing marine life I have ever seen. Fish were literally dying in front of our eyes. My family and I joked that it seemed like the "nursing home of marine life" as most fish were half dead appearing and the water was disgusting. We watched the underwater "show" which was horrible. Do not waste your money.
