Positives:

  • Free Baby Entry: Babies 0–2 enter free so you only pay for two adults.
  • Stroller-check Service: Leave your stroller at the entrance lobby for free and use baby-wearing carriers inside.

Challenges:

  • No Dedicated Nursing Room Info: No public details on lactation rooms—contact ahead to confirm facilities.
  • Crowded Tunnel: The Oceanarium tunnel can get tight; hold your baby securely and avoid peak feeding crowds.

I like it but there are some things that the could changed it. Small aquarium with sharks they could do a bigger auarium and rall fish doesn't have enogh space inside the same is with big fishes in 2nd floor which is way to small for a hight of those fish. I was expected for amounth money a bit bigger aquarium otherwise other thing are quite nice.

Had an amazing time! It’s a bit smaller than I expected but the tanks were clean and had a lot of beautiful and amazing looking animals too. I did buy tickets online, it was definitely something fun to do with children or on a slow afternoon or even a date night out. Even stopped and got a stuffed animal to remember the time from.

We are the type of people who watch calm and keep going, so we enjoyed ou...
