The Kansas City SEA LIFE Aquarium in the Crown Center complex has hosted a great deal of complaints. Finicky suburban house-fraus don't like the smallish exhibit, the exorbitant prices and crowded aisles.
Still . . . It's one of the most significant attractions created by the struggling Hallmark company in Kansas City and the following clip provides an overview of its construction.
The Making of SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium
Youtube detail: "SEA LIFE Kansas City Aquarium opened on April 6, 2012 at Crown Center. The project was over a year in the making. As 2012 comes to a close, we'd like to share the story of what it took to make Kansas City's first aquarium a reality."
It's not a bad clip and some of the images are really interesting despite the fact that a sea food buffet would pleased more Kansas City area patrons.
I was there recently and my family really enjoyed ourselves. It is on the smaller size, but it still was more educational then legoland. I'd go back in a while to see how big the fish have become
ReplyDeleteThey should have made it at least twice or 3 times as big as it is and incorporated it into Union Station.
ReplyDeleteLegoland is a COMPLETE scam and the Aquarium isn't far behind.
ReplyDeleteHaving the Aquarium in proximity to Union Station, Crown Center, and the WWI Museum could have been a real draw, instead of the second-rate - and WAY overpriced - operation it is.
When you look at other attractions like this in other towns, it is EMBARRASSING by comparison
