Don't go here. If I could give zero stars, I would. t's depressing, and it's very very clear the animals are not in good hands. The areas for them are small, and absolutely disgusting. It honestly looks like no one bothers to pick up the cages/areas that these animals spending every second of everyday in. It's heartbreaking to see these poor animals, I'm disgusted.

Went to the Aquarium and had the worst time!! Employees were constantly asking us if we needed anything and the cages were confusing!! There was a weird assortment of animals, I expected to see fish at an aquarium, not overcrowded, smelly cages full of lemurs and birds. Everything seemed stinky and dirty and the token feedings were expensive. We will not be returning anytime soon. God bless

The fact that this place keeps the animals in such a small cages ! You can see how sad they are ! This place is for profit !! Please don't give them your money these animals deserve better living spaces ! Not in the condition they are being kept at ! Also the cages they are in are very dirty ! Super sad to see these beautiful creatures in such bad conditions

I absolutely adore aquariums, but I regret coming here. I'm actually very angry that I didn't do any research on it before visiting. I think I'm still in shock that places like this are still open considering the amount of animal cruelty happening within the building. It is apparent that this is a for-profit "aquarium". My friends and I decided to visit it for the first time, and we all left feeling uncomfortable and depressed about our experience. All of the animals looked miserable. It was unorganized, cramped, and lacked ... read more

The saddest "aquarium" I have ever been to in my entire life. We left feeling extremely depressed. These poor animals are kept In LITERAL CAGES. They are definitely not Covid safe and the conditions these poor animals are in is unexceptional. How anyone can support such a disgusting place is beyond me. They care more about making money than taking care of these animals and it shows. Please I beg you do not give this place your money. They need to be shut down immediately.

Eh over priced and mainly sting rays. For cheaper it would be worth it. Other than that it's too expensive

I was so in shock how much better this one is than the Austin one. Had a great time, used a Groupon.

You're supposed to leave these kinds of places with a renewed respect for animals but this one just left me sad as hell. Dirty, small, smelly, and dark. There are HUGE animals in tiny habitats, such as fish, a giant boa, and a Cane Toad, the largest toad in the world, which in the wild travel over a mile a day. The poor thing is living in a 2' x 1' x 1' terrarium so he cant even stretch his giant legs! Lemurs in cages with no windows under dark fluorescent lights. Just sad. For the amount we pay per person for entry there is... read more

This Aquarium ia difficult to review. I tend to enjoy just about any aquarium and they are all completely different. This one is inside a building and the entrance fee is very reasonably priced. However, to anyone not familiar with this particular aquarium -- the entrance fee is low because they get you with the tokens. Yes, tokens unlock the true experience and without them this aqarium is probably a 2.5 star. So you walk in, pay for your entrance, and then get asked how many tokens you want. The tokens aren't really mentio... read more
