Cute , fun and friendly space for kids to be hands on and see a small variety of animals! Shark room was under refurbishing which was a negative but the feeding was fun to watch. Petting the rays, turtle and snake was fun!

My son loves to come here. The animals are great and the staff always interact with the kids and make the experience better. The shark feedings are awesome and where else can you spend an afternoon petting stingrays?!

Kids were ready to leave within 20 minutes. Beautiful location next to the beach. Bring cash to avoid transaction fees.

Fun adventure with the kids. They have a variety of animals to view such as lizards, snakes, frogs, fish, turtles, rays, and sharks. Out of all the animals to view our kids spent the most time exploring the vast sea shell display and the nice butterfly garden. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable with any questions we had. We recommend this place as something different to explore without having a huge price attached to it. Bonus: Beach is right across the road with public access so easy to step over to get out of the sun for a couple hours or head to the beach after.

Beautiful beach and blue water! A little pricey to rent chairs and umbrellas if you don't have your own like most tourists, lol. We paid for an hour and they gave us 90 minutes.

Interesting exhibits of various aquatic and land animals as well as other interesting items such as local history, a large collection of sea shells and a large talking bird (good luck with the latter.) The staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. We got to get our hands wet handling the starfish and petting the stingrays. Paid public parking available next door on the Northwestern side, but you can also part free on the southern side of the property. The kids enjoyed themselves and it was a nice change of pace.

This used to be one of my favorite places to visit. They used to have a nurse shark named “Norman” in the back pool. Unfortunately, as they were doing some construction to his pool, Norman died. I don’t know why they would allow his pool to be worked on as he was still in it. Anyway, I took a few friends here to visit the adorable shark and we were told that he was “taken to another facility and will be back”, which was confirmed to be a lie. They have a new shark now.
