Cute local aquarium. Very family friendly. A great experience to end your day when going to the beach across the street.

Cute little place to spend an hour or two with kids of all ages. My kids loved touching the sting rays and seeing the nurse shark. The parrot was super cute too.

Horrible experience today. After paying full price for my family, we entered the building to explore with friends only to find that 2 of the 3 main exhibits weren't accessable because of camps. I was told the animal feeding show schedule by the front desk upon paying. Within a few minutes after we paid, their scheduled feeding shows were cancelled (although it was just a fish tank with tiny fish, so we didn't miss much, I suppose). Their touch tank was also closed. I was told by front desk no refunds and I was only there for maybe 30 minutes max. When I spoke with the manager explaining that I would have appreciated being told before paying that most of the facility's features were not available to view... so that I could have left and come back on a day when they were open, she made a nasty face and rudely said well, $6 is NOT a lot of money. Well, for many families, it is, plus the drive to even get there. Such an elitist thing to say. So for $18 we saw some dirty fish tanks, a sickly opossum and some frogs you can see in your back yard. Huge waste of time and money, and unfortunately a very rude manager. Her final word was you'll know better for next time. What a sweet way to speak to a mother who came with two little ones, and was genuinely upset by how inconsiderate it was not to tell patrons the facility is more than 50% closed at the time. Had this been handled with some respect, maybe I would have gone back. But after this experience, definitely not. Skip Sandoway if you are here on vacation looking for stuff to do with kids. I live here, but if I wasted my time/money here on a vacation I would have been even more annoyed.

I came here a few years ago with my grandson & he liked it. This time we had 2 families with 4 grandkids. It was about the same as before. No new features. The grandkids all liked it. We saw sharks, turtles, a variety of shells & more.Price a little high.

Was not terribly impressed with their animal exhibits. However, my friend and I went specifically to see the seashell exhibit, which was amazing--worth the price of admission. The gardens were also lovely.
