      Compared to the Georgia Aquarium and Shedd Aquarium - yes. Even though it is in the smaller side we still had a great time. As long as you have the right expectation the place is great. If you go too fast, it will not seem worth it.

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  Рік тому

      This one was the smallest we went to but also the best decorated. The bigger aquariums should take notes on the decorations. Easy to keep your fingers if you don't feed the scary Sting Rays.

      LOL. I better mix it up because that's not who I am - but youtube thinks I am. I'm just along for the ride with the family! Filipino Steve Irwin - I like that.

    "That thing growled!"😂 I don't know what it is, but the older I've gotten I've become more afraid of marine life. So weird! It makes no sense because I used to love the water. I don't mind seeing the fish through the glass, but no way would I want to stick my hand in the water and feed the stingrays! Scuba Steve is a brave soul.

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  10 місяців тому

      Shoot, I'm afraid of land, sea, and air creatures. So I hear you. We went to the Denver Zoo after this and the kids were like lets keep walking when they saw a sting ray petting area. Scuba Steve looked a little nervous as that shark came from behind. Better him than me.
