Kind of a small aquarium but definitely worth the $15 admission. Be aware that all the animal interactions cost at least 1 token ($3 per token). Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can touch lots of animals free of cost and the bounce house is included in admission! Lots of fun for our 3 year old and us too! The octopus and sting ray were our favorite.

This place was such a surprising gem. I assume people will be annoyed at the prices. The actual amount of aquarium real estate is small, but there is all sorts of other animal interactions you can never experience anywhere else but they all cost more money on top of the entry price. If you come here willing to spend money you will have an amazing time. There's also a room full of inflatable bounce houses after you are done doing all the animal interactions. We went with zero expectations as we were visiting San Antonio for o... read more

DO NOT COME HERE DURING COVID! we spent a lot of money and paid full price while majority of the things we went for were closed. To make things worse, I was told I was not allowed to jump in the moon bounces with my 2 year old son. So he didn't get to jump because he was scared to go in alone. I felt horrible telling him we couldn't go play when we paid a lot of money to get in. I am 4 foot 10 inches tall and weigh 115 pounds, I am smaller than a lot of teenagers that are allowed to jump yet I still couldn't jump with him. W... read more

It's Texas...and I've been to some of the best aquariums in the world. I'm reviewing this location on its own merits - not comparing it to "everywhere else". My grandchildren had such a great time! All of the touch tanks are amazing. When we finally convinced one to touch a stingray, it was tough to drag him away. The carp were a huge hit too. I loved the salt water tanks. Having birds and other little creatures was an added bonus we didn't expect. Fun afternoon.

Eh, it was alright. Took total 22 mins to walk around Everything. That's with an 8 month old and curious 5 yr old. Still paid full price for half of the " exhibits " considering outside was closed entirely. To return or not to return ... probably won't return ‍

Came here because it was included in my Pogo pass and it has been a long time since I have been to an aquarium. This place is nice. It is small but I thought they did a good job of highlighting the animals/sea life. The staff were alright, though I would not call them friendly. They have a lot of kid activities and bouncy houses. I traveled solo today and enjoyed my time her but would not come back unless I had children with me. Most of the fun activities cost extra $$.

I do no recommend this Aquarium. We drove about 3 hours from Mexico only to see the Octopus they promote in their website, but when we arrived they staff at the aquarium said they don't have an octopus anymore! (still do in the webpage, even after I complained this weekend. In their webpage in Facebook they don't mention anything about not having an octopus anymore)I feel this is very dishonest publicity , our kids were very sad and disappointed. But we were already there, so we enter. Tickets are expensive (18 adults and 13... read more

This place is located off the freeway, pay attention or you will miss it. We were able to use a groupon for admission and it helped offset the cost of the tokens, which seems to be the most expensive thing here. The place itself is a little worn could use an upgrade, I was most excited to have the interaction with the Kangaroo only to find out that the outside area is closed due to COVID. I really think that they should update the website to give that information before making the decision to drive over. All other exhibits t... read more

This is a great place to take families. There is a lot to see and do at the aquarium. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I suggest to any parent looking to have their kids get up close and personal with lots of different wildlife.
