Gosh I wish I would have read reviews on this place . The bad reviews are not lying. Parents please be careful with your littles as they offer animal feed to feed their wildlife and you may risk your children getting bitten. This place is very filthy and the smell is horrendous it slaps you in the face as you walk in. I'm very sensitive to smell so our visit literally was 15 mins long . Spoiler here but if you want to know the Types of animals you will see there: Some jelly fish , sting rays, one octopus in a very murky tank... read more
This place is awesome. Lots of stuff to see. Very interactive. Not enough ventilation, I gagged the whole time due to the smell. That is beyond their control I'm sure. If I had the stomach for it, I would take my toddler more often.
Woefully understaffed. It's too small for the price. You have to hunt down a staff member for the animal encounters. Good thing is that if the animals don't cooperate you get your tokens back.
The aquarium was such an amazing experience. You are able to encounter so many different animals and is such an amazing time! The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. Sky was super informative and extremely nice. If you have a chance to go to this aquarium I would highly recommend.
Cannot justify spending $50 on entry for two. Had to pay another $25 for 10 tokens. The website definitely over sales and makes you believe it's an actual aquarium. There's maybe 10 things for you to look at & a handful of encounters with animals. However staff was extremely friendly.
The only word for this place is depressing. My boyfriend was in town & we were looking for something to do. I remember going here when i was younger and not being a huge fan but we decided to give it another try just to see. We paid $50 for two people- general admission. You would think that since you payed $50 the animals would have big enclosures- no. All of the enclosures are so small, every animal looks SO sad, and every exhibit has a sign taped to it with a number of "tokens" you can purchase to feed or touch the animal... read more
I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday for a mini day date at the aquarium. He's such an animal enthusiast, so I knew he would love it. First things first: it's pricey! There's a whole system to enjoying the interaction with the animals. Depending on the animal you want to let, you have to buy a set of coins. It adds up. But it's worth it! He was such a kid. We had such a great time. Parking: free! Interactive. Super fun! Worth going!
If I could leave negative stars I would. Read the reviews people! These people should be SHUT DOWN. Period. The treatment and habitats for the animals are inhumane and I'm certain they are probably breaking some laws. The animals don't have vaccination records, the staff is ignorant about any laws or ordinances pertaining to animal care and these animals need to be released to a proper zoo/aquarium so they are no longer being abused here. Someone contact PETA or other organizations in Austin and get them shut down. I don't e... read more
This place doesn't deserve 47$ for entrance. They are not professional and the service is very bad.
