    Being an aquarium/fish beginner, Eric explained a lot to me and suggested what I would need from tank to fish.

    Great location, I go there for my doggy pads, care products and some food. It is clean, they have…read morepet adoption there, friendly cashiers and a rewards program as well as grooming. It is in a generous lot with parking, well lit, not a lot of staff on but willing to assist when asked. Treats on your way out by the register. Your pets are welcome to tag along if leashed, process can be spendy but they carry specific items hard to find elsewhere. A wide array of tropical fish and other critters. I was relieved to see the location in such a nice shopping center.

    I am highly unsatisfied with the grooming service I received today (8/17/26) for my dog.

Well trying to book one for one dog because he needed a haircut, not seeing Logan's name, I was very skeptical about him going to someone else but he needed it like I said. He was booked with Jasmine S, and let's just say she did a HORRIBLE job, to the point my dog was cut by his mouth. I HAVE NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED MY DOGS BEING CUT TO THE POINT 4 WORKERS WERE AROUND HIM BY THE TIME I WAS WALKING INTO THE STORE AND LOOKING INTO THE GLASS OF THE GROOMERS TO PICK HIM UP! The assistant manager brought him out to me and told me what was going on and that the service was free, (okay I guess) but she did a choppy a** job on him. I told the assistant manager my concerns and told me to leave my number for the Salon leader to bring him to be fixed but at this point, I'm scared to ever bring both of them back. -0/10, would not recommend her as a groomer. I barely wanna give this 1 star.

    My pup has been groomed here over a year and I've always been pleased. I took Cairo in today and…read morehis cut was so botched. I explained that he did have some matting. The groomer, Edith, felt through his fur and said it wasn't bad. I told here there was matting on one ear and he would need to be cut shorter on his ears. She felt it and agreed. I received a call that Cairo was ready for pick up, at that time I was informed that Cairo wouldn't allow the clippers near his face. No worries, they told me that before. When I arrived to pick up, I was greeted by another groomer. All the groomers were grooming dogs, including Edith that groomed Cairo. Normally, she greets me upon pick up. This time she kept grooming and the other groomer stopped grooming the dog she was with. Edith never even looked up. I didn't recognize my dog. I can understand having to cut a dog low, due to matting but I would still expect it to be even. He was botched and his tear stains and fur under his eyes was untouched. When he's gotten a wash the tear stains lighten some. It looked as if she just took the clippers to him, carelessly. I don't normally complain but this was horrible.

I arrived at 6:55am and got out of my car at 6:59. No one answered the doorbell, an employee showed up but couldn't enter since the manager had not yet arrived, there was also another employee in her car waiting... long story short one employee call the manager at 7:26. He answered his phone and said he'd be another 25 minutes, which was completely unacceptable! Therefore, since the manager was an hour late, I had to leave because I had other plans. I found another groomer for my dog and I was very happy with the results.

To top it off, they are beyond reasonable. I needed 10 gold fish for my son's birthday party (Sesame Street Theme). I needed the 10 fish bagged separately lol. The owner has a bit of dry humor and is somewhat of a jokester. In saying that, when I told the guy I needed them bagged separately he was totally against it. However, he bagged them separately and said he would charge me extra for the bag which totaled out to be an extra $.20 (yes, twenty cents lol). I also purchased food and my bill came out to be under $4. I can tell you now that Petsmart and Petco are much more expensive than this local store.

One of our favorites was the beluga whale exhibit. They are so mesmerizing to watch! We could have sat there and watched them forever. The penguins were also so much fun to see. Our son loved them! We also enjoyed the interactive exhibits where he got to pet the stingrays. There was so much to explore and see. We had the best time. We were there for about 3 hours and it was plenty of time to explore the entire aquarium.

If you've never taken a parent or grandparent to the Shedd, stop reading and just book the tickets. The Shedd is home to more than 32,000 aquatic animals from the planet's most fascinating ecosystems -- and you feel every bit of that the moment you walk through the doors. We saw sea animals we didn't even know existed. Every exhibit had us stopping, pointing, and saying "wait, what is THAT?"
