We are going in Sept for Labor day Leaving on friday at noon and coming back monday night. That way kids will only miss 1/2 day of school on friday. Like i said we LOVE it!
We've been to the aquarium several times as well and love it! It's great for kids and adults. But it is pretty pricey, you might want to look online and see how much it is, see if they have any specials or discounts available to you first. But they have a lot of great exhibits there!
