Hi Kathleen,
While I can't guarantee if they will let you, we have visited the restaurant during the morning hours and were able to briefly see the aquarium and decor (which is so lovely). You can also stop by during the lunch and dinner hours and just ask if you could sneak a peek, especially if you visit during an off-peak time when the restaurant isn't crowded.
By the way, you don't have to have seafood or fish at the Coral Reef. If you click
here, you can see the lunch menu which includes both chicken and steak!
Also, you can see the aquarium when visiting the
The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. I adore Turtle Talk with Crush as well as the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride. I hope you have a chance to enjoy them and the aquarium, too.
Thank you for visiting the Moms Panel; please let us know if we can help again!
