As someone who deeply loves animals and believes in the power of zoological facilities to inspire and educate, I truly hope for the success of every place that works with animals--including the San Antonio Aquarium. That's why this visit was difficult for me. I actually left in tears. My suggestion is this: consider taking a pause. Even just a few months of closing to focus on upgrades and animal welfare improvements could make a world of difference. I would strongly encourage pursuing ZAA (Zoological Association of America... read more

Save your money, this place is kind of a joke And "aquarium" is a very loose term. Sea world has a much better aquarium Also not sure how they get away with having animal pens inside on tile floor, seems like pretty sad life for them. The whole place is really dark and cramped.

DO NOT COME. I honestly didn't do my research and I should have. These animals deserve a ton better than what they are getting and most looked scared and secluded. The enclosures are a good idea but only if done right. Plus no one was there to assist even if someone wanted. Very disappointed that these places exist with this much attention. I think they include an arcade and bounce houses bc they even know how awful this experience is for humans and animals. Dreadful and hate that I have them money to continue the experience... read more

This is fairly high priced for what you are getting. Two children, one adult and one senior was $111.00. If you want to feed the fish and animals, expect to pay - ie tokens are $27 for 10 tokens. 3 tokens to feed the alligators. . Kept fairly decently and some interesting animals - lemurs, Patagonia Mara, pakie(?) , but very light on larger fish etc. lots of stingrays if they're your thing. Outdoor petting area was closed on our trip. They try to encourage more spending at every opportunity- once you go thru the first exhibi... read more

Purchasing the tickets was easier and l3ss expensive online. The exhibits were fine, however the only thing I would change is making more accessible to be included with entry fee rather than having to pay extra with tokens.

I really enjoyed my time here. I thought it was only going to be aquatic animals, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were other types of animals there too. There were lemurs, iguanas, porcupines, kangaroos, penguins, peacocks and much much more.

Meh, a little good, a little bad sprinkled upon this place. The animal exhibits were good, like the lemurs and the manta rays The interactions were a little overpriced, and we only saw the lemurs The outdoor area, was small yet nice But, the place felt a little run down and dirty If you want an expensive experience indoors with animals, then come here

I came here with my family and I absolutely loved it so much that I am gonna probably get a membership. They have so many animals and the staff are very friendly and kind you, can tell they love what they do. I think the price is worth all of the experiences plus it goes towards taking care of the animals. I highly recommend this as a date night, family night, or solo quality time. I also want to give a big shout out to Alyssa and Samantha because they made my experience with my family much sweeter.

This place is ran down and way overpriced. Don't waste your time. Dirty, smelly, dark, animals look depressed, hungry and sad. There are a lot of add on fees not included in the price of admission. An arcade area and gift shop take on large sections of building. Too many employees standing around. It's an embarrassment to San Antonio.
