This is worth the extra few bucks. The Stingrays LOVE to be touched. Such a great experience for everyone!

My kids and I love coming here when we visit the zoo. Being allowed to touch the stingrays is awesome and feeding (you have to pay for food) them if you happen to be there at the right time is amazing. There is a little gift shop located inside and there are several stingray themed items and stuffed stingrays.

Always fun petting the stingrays.

Me an my kids thought it was cool !!

Amazing experience!!

It was cool to touch the sting rays, but I think charging each person an additional $4 is unnecessary. For a family of 5 that was another $20. Quick experience. Kids enjoyed. Glad we did it once, but wouldn’t again.

Nice place for kids! Its inside a tent, and has the touch pool in the middle. Theres a place to wash your hands as you enter and exit. They have a piece of fish that you can purchase and feed to a stingray. You only get one for $1.50, but Id recommend it for the experience. It doesnt hurt, it just feels weird. They also have a few shelves of stuffed animals that you can buy right there, but theres also some at the main and aquarium gift shops. And lastly, the stingrays (obviously) dont sting. Make sure to visit while youre there!

Loved the hands on experience!! Very relaxing.
