This was well worth the drive. We loved seeing all the fish. Very interactive and informative. Petting the sting rays was amazing!!!!! Yes it's small but you can loose your self looking at the fish and reading all the information on the fish. I can't wait to go again

I have been to the majority of aquariums in the USA and must say that I was impressed. Even though VIA is small, it was just as good if not better than the larger aquariums on the basis of education, cleanliness, well taken care of sea life, and engaging habitats. Now that sea life is more in danger than ever, it is important to educate the next generation as well as the current, to appreciate the beauty and diversity that can be lost forever.

Took my daughter for her first aquarium experience, it was so fun!! Perfect for babies and young kids. Yeah, it’s small, but well done and nice friendly helpful staff. You can easily spend an hour there; more if you get involved with the exhibits.
