We have POGO passes and the aquarium is one of the included attractions that you can get access to twice in one calendar year on each pass. So we have been here twice now, and I was hoping the second visit would be better than the first, but here goes.\n\nSome of the pros about this aquarium are the variety of animals, tons of talks / shows with highly informed trainers and fun facts on the walls and plenty of signs to help you know what each thing is throughout the whole experience. Every show on the inside we have attended has had really nice staff members and they take the time to answer any questions and ensure you know everything you could want to know. The gift shop is well stocked with a number of things you can get for yourself or family if you are so inclined.  \n\nOn the flip side, it only takes about 30 minutes to walk through the whole thing, even with reading all the signs and information - may take a bit longer if you have little ones or watch several of the talks. The front staff both times we've been here has been not so friendly and on the second visit, ignored us completely until we walked up to the register base to try and get in. There was no picture person taking shots for the \"fun photos\" at the beginning on either of our visits, but you are forced to wait in that area until the automatic doors open, which don't have a timer or a person manning them, so you just stand there and hope they open.  \n\nOverall: C+\nIf we didn't have POGO passes that included other area attractions I'd probably be upset at paying the regular full price to get in here....
