    If you love the aquarium consider becoming a volunteer. It is the best place to meet great people and hang out with cool animals. Read more

    Looking for a bathroom? Skip the one on the main level and go up the stairs next to the food court. There's a little known one on the right.

    The dolphin show is less an exhibition of trained dolphins and more like a musical with some dolphin tricks thrown in.

    The ticket line seemed long but only took like 15 minutes--but you could save yourself 15 minutes by buying them ahead of time online or from the ticket machines in front of the building.

    It may appear to be a giant food court built in a wrap around fish tank but i is still worth experiencing.
