    I think it's overpriced for what it is. You'll be in and out in half an hour, an hour if you really pace yourself...

    I was there twice since January. I love it and can spend ages in there. The second time we were there for feeding time and the small lad really enjoyed all the splashing.

    I like it. It has fish, and big tank full of water. It is fun and educational.

    If you've never been to an aquarium before than you'd probably enjoy it. But it pales in comparison to most I've seen elsewhere...even in places that were smaller than Galway...kind of like the museum in Galway, it's so disappointing, a museum has so much potential here.

    A bit like Wompa1 said; If you were never in one before you will like it. I thought it was interesting. Maybe we don't have the climate/money to have all really nice attractions for an aquarium. Kids will love it.
