SEA Life Aquarium American Dream Mall

We took a trip Tuesday to NJ and started with the newly opened
SEA Life Aquarium. I was new, clean and very slick. The
aquarium actually had a NYC theme to it which was unique for
aquariums. The only problem we had was it was so small.
Granted we did not read every placard or pet every fish but we
were done in under an hour. At $28 per that was disappointing.
For comparison, later in the day we hit Jenkinson's Aquarium
in Point Pleasant NJ and spent 90 minutes with an admission only
half of SEA Life.
We finished the day riding some new coasters on the Jersey Shore
and popped into Deno's in Brooklyn for our first ever night ride
on the Wonder Wheel. The SEA Life aquarium was our only
disappointment of the day.

Stinks you didn't enjoy the first Aquarium. Seems you can get a
deal that includes Lego land Discovery center for 20 or so more
but that's only a deal if you're visiting with kids.
But you think they would want to be conservative with their
pricing given the number of high ranked aquariums in the area.

We went now because American Dream is in poor financial shape
and who knows what will happen. That mall has been cursed from
the beginning. During development no less than four companies
tried and failed to get it open over a period of 20 years. This
group (same folks as Mall of America) stepped in, brought
stability and as soon as they were ready to open Covid hit. Now
they are borrowing money to make their bond payments. Borrowing
to pay debts is never good unless you are the US government!!
LOL
I think the pricing reflects the level of desperation there.
The next big bond payment due is February. Stay tuned as the
line of credit is almost gone already so who knows what will
happen.
