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
absolutely do not come here, it is so janky and awful! wasted $60 on a cheap non humane place that was no fun at all! it took a whole whopping 12 mins to get through the entire thing... so boring and disgusting, floors where not cleaned, crap everywhere, it wasn't even an aquarium. it was a fish petting zoo with plastic dinosaurs and monkeys in small cages. DO. NOT. COME. HERE.
Such a fun place to visit. I went with my son on a visit to San Antonio and we had a blast. It's a bit pricey so be prepared but the amount of interactivity with the animals and the overall quality of the staff made it worth it. We had never seen baby starfish before and they also had baby rays still in their egg/pods. So much fun to be able to touch the animals. They have interactive activities where you can get in the cages with the monkeys and hang out with them. A great experience. Definitely going back
So there is good and bad about this place. The tokens were a little expensive But how often do you get to pet and have a lemur in your lap. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. The lemurs and sting ray exhibit were the most fun for our family and 20 tokens to feed a sloth was a bit much. And my only complaint to the aquarium would be if you're going to have an area with a roaming turtle have staff watch the little ones. Some parents don't watch and the poor turtle was being smacked and chased and I just didn'... read more
I'm having a hard time writing this review, and I feel a little bad about it- aquariums are all about conservation and education, but this should be said. This is way too expensive for what you get. "Tokens" to get to experience an animal up close, which sounds cool, but in reality it's a long line to MAYBE get to see the animal up close. The aquarium itself stinks, now I'm not a naive Karen. I understand it has animals and that's what happens, but if you've ever gone to a cavern and the musky smell at the beginning of the c... read more
The aquarium is a complete, COMPLETE waste of time. You can see the same fish and turtles at a pets land for free. Everything is super expensive, and you can see the entire place in 10 minutes. I highly recommend jumping off a cliff before coming and spending time here.
this place is shit... sorry for the vulgarity but it's way too small, way too cramped, too dark; the animals were in high alert/hostile mood, were put into open displays to be pet or fed (majority of them would then hide in their corners just so that they don't need to see them. it reeks of dead fish, they keep macaws in small cages, boas in the same conditions. they offer more attractions then they do education for ocean life. it's just bullshit
We have a yearly pass to this business. Excellent interactive for all ages. Why did I not give it a 5? Because their employees are rude and uninformed of the exhibits. When we checked in today I mentioned we wanted to see the sloth...bought the 50 tokens for $129.00 as the sloth is 20 tokens each. We then waited at the exhibit for 30 minutes and asked if we needed an appt as an employee walked by and he did not know. When it was hopefully going to be our turn the keeper slammed the door as she was letting others out and I ha... read more
