I went just a few months ago. they are adding a new ride that is supposed to be opening this week. as far as things to do it is mostly shows but there are some spots where you can touch the animals(dolphins and rays mostly). one thing to do is when you get there map everything out that you want to do. everything has time slots for the shows

If you are going with the intend of thinking your going to see wall to wall reef tanks, you will be horribly disappointed. There are only a couple reef tanks, the good one is tucked away in a gift shop.
If you go as family, to see whales/dolphins/sharks, and ride the rides, you will definitely have a good time.
The new ride is Manta, a flying roller coaster. There was a preview session May 5-10 were they allowed people to ride it, but the offical opening is May 22 (this Friday).

Not sure how you're coming down, but if driving, consider spending a day in Atlanta, and go the Georgia Aquarium. Probably the finest one there is. You will be blown away.

Sort of, they're those half covered seats with awnings and some of the tank is exposed, type deal. Pretty sure they don't do the shows with immediate weather.
Yea the weather as been atrocious. Inbound PM too.

Also if you go, go eat at the restaurant at the shark exhibit. It's kinda of pricey, but you get to sit and eat, and watch the big boys swim right next to you.

Going to have to agree with that. I moved to Daytona Beach from Atlanta two years ago. Last time I went back I checked it out and WOW!
They have this like (hard to explain) twenty foot glass wall with like an inverted quater-pipe at the top. The waves crash on the curved glass and its basically like a 15-20 foot deep reef with like big groupers and even small sharks. I am new in this hobby, but have no clue how they even do something like that. I wasn't sure if it was techically a reef or not but there was def hard corals in there...no tiny zoa or mushrooms of course that I could see, but it was sick. Also, several ridiculous smaller reefs. Also, 2 whale sharks
