Disappointingly quite a small facility and attraction. Costly for what it is. Located at the end of a strip shopping center. It got crowded fairly quickly on a Saturday upon opening. Fun and engaging for younger children. They can feed the animals, birds, fish and enter certain exhibits for tokens. They have a talented caricature artist for a selfie cartoon portrait at 6 tokens for color. Don’t expect to spend all day here, it just isn’t a big enough attraction.
This aquarium might be small, but boy is it mighty. We did about 3 laps around the building. We payed for some tokens, but too many tokens gets pricey QUICK. We loved getting to see all the different lemurs, and getting to pet and feed the penguins. Overall it’s a great interactive aquarium/zoo. You can get up close and personal with every single animal in the building. My little one loved that!!
They have so many in person experiences!!! A must visit for kids! Feeding the fish, sting ray and other marine life was so much fun! There is a room for sitting with the parakeets and feeding them from your hand. They have interactive experience with lemurs, kangaroos, sloths and penguins!!! If you can't do it all, at least do some and it'll be so worth it!!!
I would recommend austin aquarium to anyone visiting the area! It is Small but that's what makes it so great! The amount of love, care, and knowledge of all the animals by all of the staff was so impressive. The encounters will give you lasting memories and you learn so much! Ryan went over and beyond throughout our entire visit to make our visit an awesome experience! We ended our visit with a visit with Ryan and Sid the sloth. Ryan's knowledge, passion, and love for Sid is nothing but amazing and heart warming. It is hard ... read more
I highly recommend checking this place out!My best friend and I went right when they opened and I was blown away with how much I learned from the staff. Brandi, Tim and Ryan were exceptionally knowledgeable about all the animals and it was obvious their staff is very passionate about what they do. I can't wait to bring my boys here to have the same wonderful experience I had. FYI, if you have a cat you won't be able to visit with the lemurs and wallabies!
