       SEA Life Aquarium  American Dream Mall

       We took a trip Tuesday to NJ and started with the newly opened
       SEA Life Aquarium.  I was new, clean and very slick.  The
       aquarium actually had a NYC theme to it which was unique for
       aquariums.  The only problem we had was it was so small.
       Granted we did not read every placard or pet every fish but we
       were done in under an hour.  At $28 per that was disappointing.
       For comparison, later in the day we hit Jenkinson's Aquarium
       in Point Pleasant NJ and spent 90 minutes with an admission only
       half of SEA Life.
       We finished the day riding some new coasters on the Jersey Shore
       and popped into Deno's in Brooklyn for our first ever night ride
       on the Wonder Wheel.  The SEA Life aquarium was our only
       disappointment of the day.

       Stinks you didn't enjoy the first Aquarium.  Seems you can get a
       deal that includes Lego land Discovery center for 20 or so more
       but that's only a deal if you're visiting with kids.
       But you think they would want to be conservative with their
       pricing given the number of high ranked aquariums in the area.

       We went now because American Dream is in poor financial shape
       and who knows what will happen.  That mall has been cursed from
       the beginning.  During development no less than four companies
       tried and failed to get it open over a period of 20 years.  This
       group (same folks as Mall of America) stepped in, brought
       stability and as soon as they were ready to open Covid hit.  Now
       they are borrowing money to make their bond payments. Borrowing
       to pay debts is never good unless you are the US government!!
       LOL
       I think the pricing reflects the level of desperation there.
       The next big bond payment due is February.  Stay tuned as the
       line of credit is almost gone already so who knows what will
       happen.

       really hard to say. Look at Hard Rock park.
