It wasn't Riley's Aquarium or anything else but it was an amazing experience nonetheless. I see reviews complaining about the organization/collection but it was beautiful. They had a massive main tank where you can go underwater, and a gorgeous collection of fish of all colors and sizes. Its a great family activity with plenty of activities for kids and virtual aquariums. you can learn tond about different species and what not.
