For an aquarium outside of a major city, this place was pretty cool! It's not going to be like your big-city aquariums (don't expect the Shedd in Chicago), but honestly, it's unique in the best way--and there's really nothing quite like it. We had an awesome time, especially with the kiddos. The token system (extra cost) lets you feed and interact with a bunch of the animals, which made the whole experience super hands-on and engaging. The stingray tank was definitely a favorite, but the mini sharks, octopus, koi pond, para... read more

The family went here for an outing away from the heat. My cousin has a yearly pass - which helped with tickets for the rest of us. About $15 each so a $10 discount. It's a small aquarium but has something for everyone. It also has an arcade area good for parties for kids. They have certain animals you can pet - which is very cool. We all enjoyed the baby sharks and sting rays. They have tokens you can purchase for extra activities such as going in and feeding the birds. Hanging with the Lemurs and a few other animals.

Came here for the first time with my family. Honestly, I thought this place was going to be really small and be like a 10mins walk like the aquarium in Austin, but it actually wasn't. The admission is definitely pricey, but they have an annual pass so if you're from around here, it's probably best to get one. Plus you get a free pass if you're military, teacher, or first responder. They have a good amount of aquatic creatures and animals. It was enough for my grown kids to enjoy and if they're happy, I'm happy. The staff a... read more

Yesterday was the first time I ever visited this aquarium and based on the reviews I was a bit scared to go BUT I want to shout out the staff because not only were they kind but extremely informative on the animals they were near. I wanted to particularly shout out Ken at the desk near the Sting-Ray pool, he saw me wandering around the pool (enthralled by the Rays) and struck up a nice conversation with me. I also loved Monica by the Sea Turtle exhibit, she was super sweet and told me a lot about the different ways to go abo... read more

Had a great time at the aquarium! The exhibits were super interactive and fun for all ages. Loved seeing the variety of marine life up close--especially the sharks and stingrays. It was clean, well-organized, and the staff was really friendly. Perfect spot for a family outing or a chill afternoon adventure!

I've been here twice. Tickets are about $22 for adults. In both cases, we paid extra for the lemur encounters. You can pay extra to pet or feed caimans, lemurs, stingrays, lorikeets, and more. It can get pricey, but as one of the workers pointed out, it's still less expensive than Sea World. The first time I went my mom and I paid extra for the ringed-tailed lemur encounter. The workers fed the lemurs as my mom and I petted them with two fingers. There are touch pools and a lot of animals. The second time I went with my sist... read more

I think this aquarium is highly underrated. It is not the "normal" aquarium people are used to, so expect that going in. But it has so many different animals and they encourage the kids to interact and touch. Such a more personal experience than that of bigger aquariums. The staff is helpful and really seemed to enjoy teaching the kids or answering questions. They also have a huge room full of bounce houses and my kids went crazy when they saw that. We spent at least an hour in there. Yes, some things are closed bc of covi... read more
