点评:After seeing this place come up commonly on lists as a good aquarium, I felt I needed to write a review of how pitiful this place is. If you don't feel like reading the full review, here is the bottom line: if you have been to a real aquarium (Atlanta, Monterey, Chicago, Long Beach) you will be very disappointed.
First, I wouldn't call it an aquarium, more a menagerie of random animals. For the size of the place, there are a very disappointing number of tanks with fish or other "normal" aquarium animals in them. I would say that more of the enclosures have birds or mammals in them. Also, the state of the enclosures and care of the animals is atrocious. Many of the enclosures are not nearly big enough for the animals that they contain. For example, the large river otters have barely anywhere to move around. The poor ocelot is in a big, glass box with no where to hide and spent its time pacing around, clearly showing signs of stress. We pointed out to one of the staff members that there were rats running around between enclosures and their response was "ya, that happens because of all the food we have out for the animals". It was pretty nasty to see how many rats there were and the lack of care that there was a problem. In the one area where they had a few actually aquariums, the walls were losing their paint and plaster. Lastly, their shark tunnel, which only had maybe 2-3 sharks and 2 sawfish, was fully open to the sky, which made it nearly impossible to see any thing. It also was basically just a big, empty tank. Shark tunnels at other aquariums I've been to have had coral and actual environmental components rather than just bare walls. Overall, I'm honestly surprised this place is still in business with the sad state that both the animals and the enclosures are in. If you have been to a real aquarium (Atlanta, Monterey, Chicago, Long Beach) you will be very disappointed.

首先,我不会把它称为水族馆,更像是一个动物杂乱无章的动物园。就其规模而言,里面饲养鱼类或其他“普通”水族馆动物的水箱数量少得可怜。我想说,更多的围栏里饲养的是鸟类或哺乳动物。此外,围栏的状况和对动物的照料也非常糟糕。许多围栏根本不够大,无法容纳它们。例如,大型水獭几乎没有活动空间。可怜的豹猫被关在一个大玻璃箱里,无处可藏,整天踱来踱去,明显表现出压力。我们向一位工作人员指出,围栏之间有老鼠乱窜,他们的回答是“是啊,那是因为我们给动物准备了那么多食物”。看到这么多老鼠,却无人关心,真是令人作呕。在他们仅有的几个真正水族馆的区域,墙壁的油漆和灰泥都脱落了。最后,他们的鲨鱼隧道,里面只有大概两三条鲨鱼和两条锯鳐,完全暴露在空气中,几乎什么也看不见。它基本上就是一个空荡荡的大水箱。我去过的其他水族馆的鲨鱼隧道都有珊瑚和真正的环境设施,而不是光秃秃的墙壁。总而言之,我真的很惊讶,在动物和围栏都如此糟糕的状况下,这个地方居然还在营业。如果你去过真正的水族馆(亚特兰大、蒙特雷、芝加哥、长滩),你一定会非常失望。
