A Real Parent's Story

Quick pit stop that became a core memory

We ducked in to escape the heat. An hour later my 4-year-old was still mesmerized by the jellyfish.

Read full story

We only went in because of the air conditioning. But the jellyfish tank stopped my 4-year-old in her tracks. She stood there for 20 minutes, moving with the jellyfish. The tunnel section has sharks that swim right over your head. Small but well-done.
