Dark, dirty and depressing. They should change the name to "Austin's strip mall aquarium. We came with our toddler who was at times similarly nonplussed. Compared to aquariums in other cities, the "Austin Aquarium" is a disappointment. It's honestly a shame that they managed to get Austin's namesake without representing our fine city. The aquarium feels more like a roadshow attraction rather than proper aquarium. There are some cool things about the Austin aquarium like the ability to touch and feed some of the fish.

The only reason I'm giving one star is because of how nice Ryan was, the other staff was not welcoming and not attentive. The poor tortoise was harassed walking around. Kids were running wild and hands were placed in and on everything possible. I should have done a google search before coming.

It is very fun for little kids but for older kids and adults it is very boring. The animals do not seems to be treated properly.

Abuses the animals and has absolutely horrible habitats for all the animals. What are they thinking having monkeys in small rooms???? Absolutely disgusting the cleanliness was disgusting. The birds poop everywhere, the lizards bite, and the shop is way too expensive.

Second time in this aquarium and I don't remember it being SO SMALL! We walked through it relatively quickly (approximately 30 minutes) and thankfully, we are members of the SA aquarium so we didn't pay, but I'm not too sure if the price of this place justifies the experience. The front staff was great and accommodating, but the aquarium itself does need work & more exhibits.

I always love visiting this aquarium and every visit has been a very special experience for me. The staff are very welcoming when you first enter and the environment inside is always clean and top notch. It is expected that it will always smell like wildlife in the building but they always have passionate workers that make sure they clean and provide the care for all the animals around the clock. The highlight of my day when visiting this place is the personal experience of feeding the aquatic friends. You can tell how excit... read more

My wife and I decided to do a date day and went to the Austin Aquarium, as we love Aquariums and Zoos. Our only regret is not taking more pictures while we were there! The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and the entire experience was amazing. They have so many animal encounters, we had a hard time choosing which to do! So first thing to know is they have a token-based system there. If you want to feed the fish/sting rays/sharks/etc, you put a token in the little gumball machine and an egg with that exhibits f... read more
