Semi-Sub tour in Sitka w/5 yr old

[lilipad2]

Good evening all. I have a question regarding the semi-sub tour out of Sitka. I've searched through the forum, but haven't read anything recent regarding the sem-sub. This looks like something my 5 yr old would enjoy -- boat, under water views and a touch pool. I was wondering if anyone had any feedback they'd like to share. Thanks in advance!! :)

Just wanted to see if anyone has been on this. Curious to know if it's worth it -- 5 yr old or not. :o

Here are a few entries I found on the web, not a lot of information out there.

If it's similar to one we (both adults) went on in Ketchikan your 5-year old should like it. The guides brought down some starfish and sea urchins for the kids to touch and hold. I was surprised at the jellyfish in the water - didn't think of them being in colder water. On the trip back from the viewing area everyone went up on the deck - we saw bald eagles, a great blue heron and other birds and some beautiful scenery.

Thanks so much. I think I'm going to give it a go. I appreciate your help. I'll try and let everyone know how it is when I get back.
