I'm so happy for you that you get to spend this kind of time with him! I hope your little guy knows what an awesome mom he's got, and all the effort and thought you're putting in to make this day special for him.

Hi, National Geographic Ocean Odessy is so fun and amazing! It costs a lot, like $35 for adults. I don't know for children. There were lots of children there that it looked like they were enjoying it so much!!

My kids loved gullivers gate, takes about an hour. They also love museum of natural history and Central Park. And don’t forget the m and m store in Times Square! One of their faves.

Seasheshlls, you were there? You enjoyed it? I’m thinking of going With my husband. Is it for adults or only kids?
I read the reviews online, and most people said it was nothing major, so I’m wondering if it’s worth it?

I was there, yes!
It was only me and dh and my infant baby. My older baby daughter did a play date with her cousins.

I don't know why people say it's nothing major. They made it like you're IN the water with the sea life, one part you wear plastic glasses for 3D and you think you're there in the ocean. There's music like calming sounds like if the ocean can talk it did!!

It's big! Walking to this attraction and that attraction of the oceans!

And the restrooom bathroom has seats away from the toilets so I nursed my baby there!

It was lots of children and lots of couples. It's amazing and fun and teaches too about sea life ocean conservation.

It's good for dates!!

If you do go, please report back. The online reviews scared me away, especially considering the crazy prices they're charging.

Their FAQ says no strollers allowed inside, but they can be checked at the front desk (https://natgeoencounter.com/visit/).
