I visited this place from the Bronx which is a pretty long ride on the train but worth it!! Not so crowded for the 10 am slot on a Tuesday, once I was done around 1130 it was slightly crowded but all good. Majority of the exhibits were open which was awesome. The 4D shark theater was GREAT as well. I have it 4 stars during to sea lion show canceled and the gift store staff no being engaging or welcoming AT ALL!! Overall, I mean it’s only sea creatures but can’t knock it til you try it!

Great Day out with the Family. Staff was helpful. I only wish there was more to see. Some of the exhibits and restaurants are not yet open. I would definitely go again. My little one enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave. I liked the gift shop, great items to buy.
