    Be aware of long lines and a very crowded experience. I don't think they ever stopped letting people in and it was shoulder to shoulder through most of the exhibits. Go early or be warned.

    Your ticket price now includes the Dolphin Show, but you need to get your show tickets inside. Doors open about 30-40 mins before each show.

    If you are a diver you need to check out the "Journey with the Gentle Giant" program. Where else can you five with hammerheads, groupers and whale sharks.

    Put aside a lot of time for the adorable stingray! They'll come right up to you and want their heads rubbed. Honestly, it's the only part of this place worth while.
