We didn’t make it had to rebuy more tickets for Sunday. I was determined to take my grandson. I didn’t realize I couldn’t use Saturday’s tickets for one day or the other. It should be they took my tickets anyway on Sunday nothing given back.

 I believe that a more extensive selection of vendors would not only benefit the visitors but also contribute to the overall success and reputation of the Aquatic Expo. The cost of admission did not align with the overall value and experience provided at the expo. The ticket fees were quite steep compared to what I anticipated, especially considering the limited number of vendors and the overall atmosphere of the event.

     So few vendors for the price. Not enough variety of vendors.

   Very poor EXPO. Not many vendors. High priced tickets and parking for low quality experience. I would not plan on returning to an annual event like this again.

   It was NOT worth $70 plus dollars for me and my husband to go. We did not get the experience we expected at all. We wont be coming back next year after we looked forward to a great time.

   Wish there was more vendors

   Other than the coral selection saving the day I found the event very lack luster and lacking a healthy amount of vendors. Maybe day 2 was better, but I wouldn't know because I only made day 1.

   The worst. Nothing to see. I hated every minute of it.

   Most of the vendors were polite and knowledgeable but there were only a handful. Show was much too small for the price of admission and parking!!

   Great could of been a little bit bigger but under stand that it is hard to get local vendors support or found

   I only went for the freshwater section, and there were hardly any vendors, wasn’t worth my time or what you charged me

   That place was not worth what I payed it was small not many vendors and nothing to exciting for the kids so wasn't satisfied with it

   Was not worth it at all. There were such little selection of live fish to purchase that it was a joke…. Prices were local prices

   I did not it was boring those type of fish we see them in our local pet stores I went to purchase a fish but nothing here was worth buying I would like My money back. Not enough fish vendors too many live coral and Koi what was really funny they had the Beta fish from Petco and Walmart in there smh

  As a reefing hobbyist, this event was disappointing. I left after 10 minutes

   This event was terrible for the price. I would have expected it to be free due to the fact that there were only vendors, many of whom sold the exact same things, and that the room was half full. Honestly wish I had just stayed home.

   Don’t advertise an event like it’s something great when you have no vendors. You should’ve had a great vendor list confirmed and guidelines for your vendors before even thinking about creating an event for the public. There was so much potential. Such a waste. And what the heck was up with the weird merman? People work hard for their money not to be wasted. If you are hiring and pay well, I’d like to work with you to create something that doesn’t seem like a

   Amazing such a cool selection of vendors and fish all around. Will be back again next year if it's hosted again.

   waste of money

   It was so small they should have combined the reptile and aquarium together, but they didn't. It was so little to see and the ticket were so expensive. I feel like I want my money back

   Great time hope to go again next time/year amazing event

   Did not like it at all!! Could have have way more fish instead of having all of the equipment vendors.

   Too few vendors. For the price of admission there should have been giveaways and more hosted activities

     Same as above

  We were disappointed and will not return next time, not worth the drive.

     I did not like it. It was extremely disappointing. I expected what was advertised to be there. Instead of the 1000s of salt and fresh water fish claimed. It was regular fish. I could have seen a regular pet store at a lesser cost. I completely wasted my time. Julia was very rude! She let 5 people in without checking tickets. So, I assumed we could walk in. Instead, she chased us down, while we were walking in. Being condescending and speaking to us as if we were children.

   It was super fun!!

   Was expecting more. Wasn’t worth the money spent on admission.

   Didn't have very much variety for price of entry.

  Paid way to much for very little experience.

  Great selection of vendors, really helpful and knowledgeable sellers. Very happy about how well my frags are doing. Looking forward to the next one!
