This fine aquarium is across the street from our apartment. How convenient is that? Entry was very reasonable with the senior discount and we have become adept at remembering to ask for these discounts. This aquarium exemplifies quality over quantity. The aquarium did not open until 1 PM and we got lucky that the feeding time started soon after we arrived. The colors of the fish and the variety of species was fantastic. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
