Fodor's Review:
Allow at least two hours for the aquariums, the three-story rain forest, the IMAX Dome Theater, and the Morphis MovieRide Simulator, a motion ride in a space-age capsule. A ham-radio room, a puppet theater, and a 10-foot model of an eyeball that you can walk through are other highlights. Check the schedule for special exhibits.
