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

A nice exhibit that features other interesting fish other than sharks. Theres a series of aquariums before the moving walkway that features all the sharks. This is probably my favorite exhibit in the park because it is one of the largest ones and features a lot of aquatic animals. This exhibit is also very popular and stays crowded during the day. I suggest going at night so you can appreciate the exhibits without the crowds. Also avoid going after a concluded Sea Lion show since many people coming out of the show head for the nearby Shark Encounter. - Manny Barron

Before a slight renovation, this attraction used to look better. I'm not as fond of it as I am the Manatee or Pacific Point exhibit. - Wilfredo Alvelo

Not as cool as I thought it was when I was much younger. The moving tunnel was a decent concept, but before you know it, it's over. - Nick Dakuginow
