TEMPLE, TX — The 7 Seas Aquarium in the Temple Mall has an opening date and has moved into a larger space!

The aquarium says the original unit they planed to use was too small to accommodate the requirements of Temple City Permitting. Therefore, the aquarium has transitioned to a larger space in the mall formerly occupied by Dillard's.

The expansion means there will be more exhibits, more animals, and more room for birthday parties, private parties, events and more, according to the 7 Seas Aquarium.

The aquarium also announced they will open on Monday, February 24, 2020.
