Now, as exciting as it is to see the Aquarium and its new exhibits in the limelight, it doesn't compare to seeing the Giant Ocean Tank and its 2,000 residents in person. Come on by! It's easier than ever to visit with timed ticketing these days. Choose the day and time that you'd like to visit and buy your tickets in advance.
The picture with the diver swimming with the sea turtle is awesome. It would be great if the aquarium can have a guest swim there as well from time to time as a feature or some sort of the giant aquarium.
