Downtown Aquarium
Choose aquarium exhibits, amusement rides or a meal at this downtown entertainment complex. These are separate experiences with different access arrangements, so decide what you want to do before arriving.
The Downtown Aquarium combines aquatic displays with a restaurant and outdoor amusement rides on a compact urban site. It works best when you choose the components that suit your party rather than treating every attraction as one visit. The Ferris wheel adds an outdoor skyline element, while the exhibits provide a more sheltered focus for a family outing.
