It is a small aquarium but nice. The staff appeared knowledgeable and they were friendly. We arrived just in time for the harbor seal feeding and the penguin feeding. We then caught the sea lion show and were amazed. They put on a good show and appeared to have fun doing so.

By no means is this a large Aquarium or a national attraction, however it is a nice place to kill a couple hours while checking out some neat animals. The aquarium can be part of a multi-attraction pass for the American side of the Falls which makes it a better deal. Highlights include a shark tank, several large local fish, a Moray Eel tank, Penguins, and California Sea Lions that perform daily shows. There is also a nice free Harbor Seal exhibit outside that is free to enjoy. There is plenty of free parking and a small gift shop on site but no places to eat on site. The Aquarium is on the far end of the State park opposite the Falls but is within walking distance and can save some money from having to pay to park next to the falls.

We walked up & saw the sea lions swimming outside & we thought they were cute & beautiful! The staff told us to gather around & watch the show. So we watched the show & was very amazed & had so much fun watching the show & we couldn't take our eyes off of the show! Then after we looked @ all the fish & squids & penguins in the water. It was so educating & still not borring. Real intresting. I can't wait until I take my daughter there for the first time! She will love it! We took so many pictures. I think they should just make it alittle bigger for people to sit & watch the show. They should make room for strollers & wheel chairs. That's all I would change. For it too be a little bigger. The staff was great & it was very clean & the animals looked very healthy well taken care of.

This is the saddest aquarium I have ever been too. I don't know what to say other than I still can't stop thinking about the poor penguins stuck behind the glass for their entire lives. There are no out buildings or places for them to stretch out, same with the seals, they are just living their lives stuck in tiny living areas. The entire situation was just sad, and poorly maintained. I truly regret going here.

As soon as you get there you are greeted (outside) by beautiful seals. The sea lion show was beautiful as well as all of the exhibits. You are sure to learn something new and have a great time. Kids will love it too!

It is an OK place. Seems to be a little abandoned by the public and renovations are needed. Kids loved the seals show

I really like the seals and seahorses. More fun than I expected. Nowhere to sit though. Difficult for someone with a handicap.
