I went to this aquarium for the first time and was surprised at how small it is. However, it is not everyday that you can touch a starfish, sea cucumber and sting ray! I paid $7...

All reviews seem positive

It's only a preview! 8/30/2005

This is not the whole aquarium, which won't be finished for 3-4 years. This is a tast of what's to come. This fact is not made clear when you enter or pay your admission, the staff seemed unknowledgeable about the details, and the TV advertising and banners at the Gateway are misleading in this respect. I paid for a year's membership ($20)without knowing this until I had completed the visit. This is still a deal if you go more than 3 times a year. I work downtown and can see myself going there on my lunch breaks for an escape. Hopefully the exhibits will change occasionally over a year - otherwise I may not renew. Pros: escape from reality, cool and dark, interesting Cons: misleading, limited hours, staff ignorance more

Small and Overpriced, but still interesting 7/7/2005

I went to this aquarium for the first time and was surprised at how small it is. However, it is not everyday that you can touch a starfish, sea cucumber and sting ray! I paid $7 for adult admission and $4 for my daughter. Given the size of this place, it seemed excessive. They had about 10 tanks. One was large with sharks in it. There was a large aquarium that you could touch sting rays in and a simulation of driving a "boat" around the Salt Lake. The location, at the Gateway, was great! After going to the aquarium, we went and played in the Olympic Fountain. My daughter had a fun time (although it took her awhile to want to touch the sting ray...). It was fun to check out, but I probably won't return until the permanent (hopefully larger) site opens up. Pros: sting ray tank, location (Gateway), variety of fish Cons: no free parking, overpriced, small more
