It was busy I liked it but leaving the parking structure was dumb. They need a better way to get people out

Calm place to go on a fall sunny day and relax and enjoy nature. Watch the boats sail and immerse yourself in the beauty of lake shore. Breath taking!

April Dent | Oct 28, 2019
Debbie Bryant | Oct 28, 2019

Bored except it's the only aquarium around of a good size. So if they love aquariums or want to go into the field then go. If you're just looking for something to do make it a shorter portion of your day.
