Hellobee Boards

We had a membership 2 years ago and we went 5-6 times. We didn't renew the following year and we went once.

It would be less than the zoo b/c the aquarium us double the distance.

Our aquarium is pretty small and $10 per person more than the price of the zoo. (But the zoo does have a parking charge and the aquarium does not) A Legoland just opened in the same mall as the aquarium so we got the yearly pass that gets you unlimited access to both for the year. Both are about 30-45 min from our house.

Eta- we go to both many times a year. My son loves animals and like the show Octonauts and has really show an interest in water creatures.

The aquarium is new, and twice as far as the zoo, plus crazy crowded all the time. We've only been once, whereas we go to the zoo every few weeks.

Less. We are members of the zoo, but the aquarium is almost 2 hours away.

Our aquarium is walking distance from our house. I have only ever been twice, once with DD. She was 10 weeks old. Is is a very small aquarium, in a single loop setting. No pretty tropical fish, just river fish, and a few sharks, and girls dressed as mermaids doing a synchronized swimming routine. Meh. We have a great zoo and go 2-3 times a month on our membership, even though it's a 15 min drive.

We go every few months. We are members (it pays for itself if you go twice per year). We have actually never been to the zoo in our city. The aquarium is closer and easier for us to get to.
