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

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
