This is not an aquarium. Circus-like environment with as much space dedicated to carnival games, arcade, bounce houses, ball pit, and cheap souvenirs as dedicated to animals. Sea life is a small part. Exhibits of reptiles, parakeets, lemurs, rabbits and other sad looking animals kept in small cages with no attempt at natural habitats. "Aquarium" is mostly a basement cheap looking pool with rays swimming around that of course requires extra tokens to feed them. Skip and go to a real not-for-profit aquarium instead of this mon... read more

This was the worst aquarium/zoo experience I have ever had. It smells terrible inside, the animals are in tiny enclosures that aren't clean nor do they seem appropriate for some of the animals. My family felt so bad for the animals. The water in the stingray tank etc was so dirty. Not sure how this place is allowed to even stay open.

Honestly was very disappointed after going here. The animals are in small enclosures. Everyone can touch them. Even if being allowed to touch them, I saw too many kids poking at the animals and being rough. The animals must be miserable and it's disheartening to see. You have to buy tokens to interact with some of them, and even so no one is available to let you. I hope whatever they do with the amount of money they make from this place is for a good cause, because this place does not treat their animals well.

We were kind of surprised by the location as it was in a business district. We thought what size and kind of aquarium could be at this location. We were not wrong. It was much smaller than anticipated. I would not call it so much and aquarium as I would call it an interactive aquatic experience. There were fish, birds, reptiles, lemurs, and a few other things. There is a large game room for older kids/teenagers. We did not do the jumping ball pit. It said it would take 3 to 4 hours to go through. We were done in about an hou... read more

This was my second time here and loved all the new added additions to the aquarium. They have so many animals other than just water animals. One thing I really appreciate is the teacher discounts. Teachers get to enter for free!! I think this is so wonderful. I can't wait to share the excitement with my students. As you enter, make sure you get some tokens to feed the animals! There are many places you can go for this. I also appreciate how close and interactive you can get with the animals. I personally prefer this place ov... read more

For what this Aquarium has to offer it was a great place to visit last in August I was in San Antonio and took my granddaughter to Sea World and it wasn't worth the money spent took her to the aquarium yesterday and by far more for her to see and enjoy. Highly recommend this aquarium to anyone looking for a place to go see and interactive.

Left a lot to be desired. I've been to many aquariums, both big and small, and this just didn't cut it. For the cost of the entry I really wish there had been more variety and exhibits. Not to mention that you had to buy tokens for everything and that wasn't cheap. Our granddaughter wanted to do the sloth encounter, but that was going to be 40 tokens since an adult had to enter with her. We decided to do the lemur encounter, which was nice and short, but still cost 8 tokens. When it's $30 for 10 tokens that can add up quickl... read more
