It is the largest aquarium in the US, but it is laid out in such a way that it is manageable to navigate and see everything.

When I was there, it was pretty crowded with school groups, but I was still able to see everything I wanted to.

The largest tank is amazing, and houses thousands of fish along with two whale sharks – these are very rare to find in captivity.

They also have a “petting zoo” with baby nurse sharks, rays, horseshoe crab, starfish, and plenty of other weird-looking creatures for the kids to learn about.
