Comments about Smart Destinations Aquarium of the Bay:
We loved this place. Just wish they had more labels for each fish in the tank. I had to ask a worker what a slug thing was (sea cucumber). It was totally awesome for the kids who didn't care as much what things were. There was lots to see and we'll worth taking time to explore.
