Great experience, loved the shark close-up - Erik Avila

This is a great environment in which to see the sharks on most days. When the park is crowded, however, the layout here makes it difficult to get a good view, especially for kids or shorter adults. Also, though they do have staff on hand to answer questions, I think that more signs, placed on the walls opposite the viewing areas (so as not to be obstructed by the crowds)would help with the educational aspect. - David Eggert
