Even though the kids spent a lot of time at the touch tanks at Seymour the previous day, the touch pools were still our first stop here. Our enthusiasm was a bit dampened, however, after an employee yelled at Katrina for picking up a starfish, threw the starfish back in, and proceeded to ignore her when she asked to see a crab she couldn't reach from her side. Did she think Katrina wasn't old enough to understand instructions or was she discriminating against us ? We decided not to bother and moved on to other activities.
The MBA was so vast and impressive on so many levels that it's definitely worth visiting. The downside was so many visitors come from all over the world that often scheduled events like feeding times were stacked up with multiple layers of viewers. The Outer Bay's 54' x 17' x 13" window, though huge, can't even seem to accomodate everyone in a single layer at all times. At other popular exhibits like the Jellies and Seahorses, we had to inch along very slowly while viewers in front admire and photograph. Maybe going in the summer wasn't such a great idea but it was nice to stroll its outdoor area in this weather.
