As adults we have this tendency to say "if I knew then what I knew now, I'd have paid more attention in school!" Well here's your chance. This tiny aquarium will impart more knowledge in a short visit than you probably take in most months if you take advantage of it. The interns and owner (a former teacher) are committed to answering questions. The things they are studying and sharing are amazing. If you go in and you want to learn and ask questions this will be an experience you won't forget. Think of the best science teacher you ever had, having an opportunity to show the world what she loves to talk about... and that is what you have here. Do yourself a favor, go, enjoy and learn!!

We really enjoyed our trip to the zoo. On the smaller side but plenty to do. You can purchase…read moreanimal food to give to the pigs & goats. We also purchased train tokens - a small train perfect for the kiddos and a little ride through the entire park, they take you around twice. The train conductor is really great at his job, which made it really great for the kids. They have a little cafe on site, with seating, and great prices and slushies! They have two smaller parks inside the zoo for the kids, both fun! If you are in the area and need something to do, go check this place out. You can also walk through a wildflower garden - not much in bloom yet but still beautiful to walk through and some fun things hidden within. (:

I was here for the Roanoke Pinball Museum…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/roanoke-pinball-museum-roanoke?hrid=_aVRvVUx4AoYrhkv-k-7Cw but spent some time in the atrium and later at the Candy Store https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-candy-store-roanoke?uid=hWDybu_KvYLSdEFzGrniTw. Roanoke has gathered a number of different experiences into this one location and made it quite special. The Harrison Museum of African-American Culture, Kids Square Museum, Mill Mountain Theatre, Roanoke Pinball Museum, Roanoke STARCADE, and the Science Museum. All with one box office and one central atrium. Converted from an abandoned warehouse, it was initially just the art museum, theatre, history and science museum. But it's expanded its tenants and brought a cultural star to the Star City. Awesomesauce. You might find street parking but you'll probably do better with one of the nearby parking decks.

It felt like we were an inconvenience to her by being there, from the second we walked in. Looked at us like she had no clue why we were there. My husband had questions about keeping fish as we're both new to this, and she treated him like he was an idiot for even asking anything. Another employee, a younger man, came and helped us later and I can't say enough good things about him! He was incredibly friendly, offered plenty of knowledge, and helped us get exactly what we needed. Honestly if he hadn't came over and helped us, we were about ready to walk out without buying a single thing. Thanks to him, we made a purchase. Most likely wouldn't go back again specifically because of how rude the lady was. As a customer, I have no desire to be treated like I'm a problem for coming in to spend money at your store.

I enjoyed this shop and the atmosphere inside was pleasant. A staff member made their rounds to each customer to see if they wanted help yet. I read all the reviews on Yelp before visiting and it is clear to me that only people with a chip on their shoulder, maybe competitors in business, are posting such negative "stories". And that is the problem with bad attitudes, you will never be successful until you fix your attitude first.
