A great place for a day trip. It's fun for both kids and adults. It's a shame they open late (10am) and close quite early (6pm, but by 5:30pm they shut everything down). We saw three animal shows and tried several rides. There was very little time left to relax and swim in the pools. Overall, we really enjoyed it, but getting there without a car is inconvenient and quite expensive.
