My girls, ages 7 & 4, are always sad when we have to leave this place. When we go we try to arrive as early as possible and we stay until near closing. I always bring an extra shirt because there are touch tanks and my kids always get wet. Grab a copy of the daily activities when you get there as there are various feedings you can watch throughout the day. My kids' favorite is the penguin feedings. The website is also an amazing resource. They offer printables and activities you can do at home. They also have a couple of online only exhibits. A few of their physical exhibits have webcams which we check often. We like the otter and penguin cams.
