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.
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.

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
Alexandria, Merlissa, Madison, and Jalani are rock stars with the kids. You all are so sweet, patient, and kind. Keep up the great work ladies.
Love this place! The family owned aquarium is a must see. They have so many animals, the staff is clearly knowledgeable and loves them! The most fun I have had at a zoo/aquarium location ever!
I went to this aquarium last week and can just now report how amazing the place is! You can tell the animals are deeply cared for to the best of staffs ability. As a reptile lover I spent most my time in the reptile section, and let me tell you the employee I talked to there - kendall, I believe knew soo much and it showed!
