As a child this and the Shamu show impressed me the most but it has begun to age and look a little worn. - Emily Brux

Really cool exhibit and a nice length. I like the creepy feeling the tunnel gives as well as the other dangerous fish. But what in the world are tree frogs doing here? - David Garey

The tunnel is fun, but it would be better if there were more lights. - Hermione Potter

I really loved the sharks - richard comisky

Limited types of sharks. Tunnel is short compared to other acquariums. - Joseph Easter

7-Good. There aren't a whole lot of interesting (read: killer) sharks in this tank. Mostly sand sharks and things of the like. Also, that conveyor belt could really use some WD-40, and maybe they should use crowd control to avoid having everyone packed on the belt like sardines. - Joshua Counsil

The viewing tunnel isn't quite as long as I was expecting having recently been through a seemingly much longer tunnel at Barcelona Aquarium, but it is still good and there is a great variety of sharks, sting rays and fish. We did the shark deep dive, which was wonderful and well worth the money, but so scary if you are as scared of sharks as I am. There is also an outdoor feeding area with a number of the smaller species of sharks, although the shark feeding doesn't really work as the big fish that are in with them steal the food. - Emily G

The sharks were AMAZING in the display tank. They also showed barracudas and sea dragons before the main tank. There was a smalltooth sawfish that looked really neat. - Tommy Rowbal
