"cool little spot inside American Dream Mall"
September 2023
took my 12 year old son here during a 2 day getaway to American Dream (which was overall a great place to visit about two hours from our home, there is so much to explore, we didn’t even get to see all of it)—the exhibit took about an hour to walk through. my son liked the shark tank. it’s cheaper than our local aquarium. I do wish it was a little longer but the website clearly stated the length so I wasn’t surprised. the tanks were well put together and the place was clean and dimly lit. Staff were all very friendly. We got a shark tooth after doing a trivia question which was cool.
