Has anyone been to the new Sealife Aquarium which just opened in Tempe? If so, how does it compare to the aquarium on Northern in the West Valley?

They are both about the same size, around 200K gallons. The WWZ has log flume ride and walk through like SeaLife has.

The WWZ is much closer to me and I wondered if the one in Tempe was about the same or better than WWZ. Sounds like they are about equal.

Thanks for the info.

I live in Avondale, so I'm also closer to the Wildlife Zoo but I don't like the parking situation there.

Might be worth it for me to see the one at Arizona Mills since I work in northern Tempe.

They are both interesting and something to take in, but nothing compared to the big aquariums in other cities. Someday maybe...

WWZ might get the edge as there is more than the fish there to look and and do. Sea Life is in AZ Mills mall.

WWZ was nice to see out here; now that I know the one in Tempe is similar, we're not gonna make a special trip to see it.

I gotta let y'all in on sumthin' though.....I've been to Shedd Aquarium in Shy Town and the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

I'm spoiled.
