This is a nice thing to do on a hot day. Very informative and well done. Variety of sea life and Coral Reef displays. Pihranna's, sharks, jelly fish, crocodiles, kimono dragon (sp?) and cool looking fish that you'd never see on your own. $17/adult, I think $12/child. Photo ops, gift shop. They give you a telephone-like audio unit that you can punch in the # of the exhibit and you'd get the info on it. Pace is your own. I figure the price is worth it as it helps to maintain the fish and their habitat.

This was our first visit to an aquarium where our young girls (9,6,4, and 7 months) would remember because they are older and we had our camera. We have yet to go to seaworld so we can't compare it to it. They loved it. If we go back soon, it will be our first stop.

We had the girls , one mom, and one set of grandparents and only the six year old and the grnadfather used the cell phone speaker the entire time.

Not too crowded at this time of year. However we went about 11:00 and the line to enter was very long (20-30 minute wait). Much longer when we left the place a few hours longer.

Beware that you have to follow the signs and walk a long way to get to it.

My husband & I took our 2 small kids to Shark Reef. When we went there was hardly anyone there. We entered 1 hour before closing time.

The girls LOVED the touch tank where you can touch rays. They also enjoyed going through the tunnel & trying to count all the different types of fish they saw.

Yes, for JUST an aquarium it is a bit pricey. If it will be time to eat AFTER your visit to Shark Reef, ask about the deal they have at the ticket booth. You pay full price for admission but for a few dollars more you can pay for the buffet there at Manadaly Bay. It was WELL worth the money when we included that.

Nice little side trip to being in Vegas, great for the kids and families. Love the "Indiana Jones" feel of the place, lots of fun and not too pricey for Vegas.
