A clean new aquarium in Daytona Beach. It's a great place to spend a rainy day if you're looking to…read morebe entertained for an hour or two and aren't worried about high admission prices. It's not huge but has a good variety of animals to learn about and see. There is one sand table activity for kids and a coloring area where your art work can be scanned and temporarily added to a little display. The touch ponds with the starfish and feeding the stingrays were fun for our kids. Some of the exhibit spaces could have been improved for children - they were too high for my kids to see into so parents prepare to do some heavy lifting. They could think about adding some step stools or some sort of mini stair system in certain areas to help improve viewing access for the littles. It's all one level and would be easy to navigate for anyone with mobility issues. Additional experiences include VR, mining, hold a baby alligator and stingray feeding. All come at an additional charge. The downside to this place was definitely the price tag. Military, law enforcement, Florida residents and seniors all offered a very minimal discount. Don't forget your various IDs because they're required for the discount. I told the abrasive cashier I didn't have my applicable ID and couldn't find a picture and she said "well it's only $1 discount". I was surprised she wouldn't take me on my word as a lot do these days, especially since it was "only $1". Not the best personality represented at the front desk. The gift shop is a good size and has all kinds of toys, clothing items, stuffed animals and a small area of books with some cute titles. Overall a good way to spend a couple of hours if you're willing to suck up the high prices. I'm glad we went today but can't say we'd be back if the prices aren't lowered...a bit of a one and done experience as it stands now.

( I'll get back to you on this & edit) There is a GORGEOUS Love bird who is so loveable, Zoolie She is 4 years old AND on the contrary of love birds NOT loving you, THIS ONE DOES! **She her on Owner Serena's head. She kisses & is sooo friendly.** She is on sale RIGHT now with a very large rolling cage FOR ONLY $50.00. You HEARD me CORRECTLY! $50.00 Don't quote me on this but I think the owner couldn't keep her & Serena is NOT making a profit to sell her. I WISH I could GET her myself but I have a VERY BIG cage already. (gonna need a bigger house) & again 6 little ones. I'm still thinking about it though. If I can figure out where to put her cage, She WILL BE MINE! In the meantime, I'm posting Zoolie on Serena's head. Hugs

We proceeded to walk through the outside exhibitions which included enclosed gators, tortoises, and rhinoceros iguanas. Since it's summertime, the mornings get really hot so we returned to the indoor welcome center, where there is a large attached exhibit room with lots of snakes, mostly venomous. There were different types of geckos displayed too. At 11:30am (Sunday) there was the days only venom extracting show! This is a very cool experience where you get to see actual venom extractions from a variety of snakes just feet in front of you while hearing expert knowledge about these interesting reptiles! Overall this was a nice experience, as long as you keep in mind that it's not a huge place, nor does it have tons of animals. But it's a cute venue that houses a variety of species that you normally would not see or probably have never seen before.
