Review:

The Mystic Aquarium is a marine animal sanctuary that houses over 10,000 fresh and saltwater animals, including beluga whales, Northern fur seals, sea lions, and sand tiger sharks. The family-friendly haven offers visitors the opportunity to get up close to a variety of marine animals such as African penguins, bamboo sharks, some exotic reptiles, and stingrays in a touch tank. Experiences at the aquarium include daily sea lion shows, awe-inspiring nature-focused 3D movies at one of two theaters, and animatronic dinosaurs, along with activities and special events throughout the year. Special exhibits include an African penguin exhibit, a jelly gallery, a ray and shark touch pool, and the "Jurassic Giants" dinosaur exhibit.
