This costs $40 per adult and the only real attractions for me were the dolphins and beluga whales. We managed to get there between "shows" so the mammals were swimming about (seemily pretty happy) and there was virtually no crowd, so I would recommend that. The rest of the aquarium (with stuff you can see in the deep) was ridiculously busy and I didn't really get why.
