<p>Very well designed aquarium. We saw fish that we never thought existed. We're from Florida and we realized how different the Pacific was from the Atlantic. Very nicely done.</p>

<p>It went from so-so to a recommended activity solely because of the knowledgeable employee. We learned a lot about marine life in Hawaii but the quality of the aquarium did not match the price.</p>

<p>We got there at 4pm and it closed at 5pm. They were apprehensive to let us in since they said it takes the average guest 1.5 hours to go through and see everything. We took a lot of pictures but walked straight thru in less than 20 minutes. It was the usual fish, shark, turtle aquarium. I'd say we are happy we did it, I'd recommend.</p>
