Will never recommend
by JerryFl
bad food, overpriced mother's day buffet! i think there is a hidden charge that goes with overpriced food to see the aquarium. they should have charged only 10$ per head for the food which was really bad!

- Pros: nice aquarium
- Cons: bad food

GO to the ZOO INSTEAD, NOT Worth the money!!!!!!

- Pros: 200% over priced
- Cons: 200% over priced
