This aquarium experience is perfect for the younger children. Even as an adult I thought it was really cool my first time through. If you are going fast you could speed through in 45 minutes to 1 hour maybe, but if you really stop to appreciate everything you could easily be there for 2 hours plus. However, unlike a full-fledged aquarium you won't have to commit to being there for the entire day, haha. The staff is lovely and the value for the price is quite excellent.
