Very fun experience for the humans, but feel bad for the animals. some fish tanks are very overcrowded. The stingrays tank has some space but of course not enough. I went there last time 4 years ago, they had way more stingrays back then. I hope they're doing okay because what i saw back then was three times as much stingrays. But some emloyees seem like they genuinely care for the animals which is good. I hope they build bigger tanks especially where they keep 6 sturgeons, 4 catfish, some turtles and 50 koi fish in one tank... read more

We went to the Austin aquarium for the first time today. My wife and I, our son and daughter-in-law and grandson all went. It was a great experience and I think well worth the money. We we were fortunate that a young man by the name of Markus Greeted us at the counter when we came in. He helped us to figure out what was the best package to buy. We ended up with the annual pass for my wife and I and that allowed us to get our kids in as guests for the same money that it would've cost us. This allows my wife and I to go bac... read more
I really can't say enough good things about the Austin Aquarium. I have been coming for years with my grand kids who all have enjoyed it! Today we met team member Cody-(sp.) who was nice enough to chat with us. He was feeding some of the ?lizards live crickets and I offered a general compliment about the atmosphere and what a great hands on experience they provide! My grand children all love snakes -and the fact that I'm totally afraid of them . Invariably -they (and especially the youngest g-son) will request to hold a snak... read more
The Austin Aquarium is a great hands-on spot for kids. It's not a giant aquarium, but there's a ton packed inside -- fish, reptiles, birds, even little sharks you can touch! Kids especially love the interactive feeding stations. It can get crowded on weekends, so aim for weekday mornings if you want it less busy. Great local attraction to keep little ones entertained for a couple of hours.
Great place to take the kids. There are some interactive events for them to join in on so make sure to check their schedule. First responder friendly.
The Austin Aquarium was such a fun experience, especially for little ones! While the building itself is on the smaller side, all the animals and fish looked beautiful and well cared for. They had a great variety of creatures including stingrays, ducks, turtles, chickens, wallabies, and of course, plenty of fish. One of the highlights was how interactive it is. Kids and guests get the chance to feed and interact with the animals, which made the visit extra special. The workers were all friendly and helpful, making sure every... read more
The Austin Aquarium is a combination of a party center, petting zoo, aquarium, and indoor zoo. It is a bit pricey compared to a regular zoo and they have a separate token purchase system for little rides, petting or feeding different animals, or for partying with the mermaids. They also have a small cafeteria with a bunch of seating to host a party. On the way out they have a huge gift store. You can probably see everything in 30 min if you don't want to spend extra tokens. My 4yo son wasn't too fond of this place - mayb... read more
