About this business

Fun for adults and kids alike, the Austin Aquarium is an educational and memorable outing for the whole family. Feel like you dove beneath the depths of the ocean and discover the brightly hued creatures that live below as you gaze into the giant tanks, feel the silky smooth skin of a stingray, and learn about the resident giant Pacific octopus. Daily talks, tours, special sleepovers for children, and birthday parties let guests get up-close and personal with the many inhabitants at the aquarium.

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.

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
