It was engaging for all ages. Very impressive aquarium rooms with a nice variety of fish. Signage for parking and getting into the exhibit was nearly non-existent and terribly confusing. The online chat option was not helpful at all. Finally, a very friendly Crown Center staff person helped us find our way. The Irish Festival blocked off the usual entrance to the parking garage. Crown Center should have done better with signage to guide folks to Sea Life.

5 out of 5 stars

Tyson was an outstanding and fun Instructor. I have two recommendations: - why are you not offering/selling professional photos or flight videos to the participants, like World’s of Fun does? - why do you not issue/require shoe covers? (like the medical professions). I am concerned about safety, as any of us could have pebbles or dirt in the tread of our shoes that could be dislodged by the wind.

4 out of 5 stars

Beautiful sea life in many different small aquariums. The coral and small environments were well maintained. However, we were through the exhibit in 25 minutes and had thought it would be a little more in-depth.

It was overall a fun/clean environment and experience for my family and I
