Kristin, according to the menu on the link, children under five are free, and children five to 12 are charged a reduced price.

I'm glad you caught that, Andrea. I wonder if they've moved their Saturday "Seafood Extravaganza", or something similar to it, to Wednesday night. It's more in line with the price you paid, and it also has a grilling station.

Last time we were at Giannis, they had huge lobsters in their tank. They said caribbean ones are larger than what we are used to in the states.
