I can tell you - this is not a place that makes people feel resistive. And, this is a very interesting place! It has a nice place to eat and drink upstairs, a nice gift shop and plenty of friendly, knowledgeable staff to offer services here. My daughter had a solo trip to the pool four times, and it was so pleasant for us to stay there for feeding, chatting, etc., and then wandering around the water and enjoying the scenery. I highly recommend this aquarium!
