Zero stars. It won't let me give zero so I gave 1. Y'all, this place is absolute trash. Horrific treatment of the animals and I cannot believe the City of San Antonio allows this dump to be associated with our city's name. As you walk in there are exhibits, most with "encounters" for additional cost, with various animals in dimly lit, tiled floor, stinky, smelly, tiny enclosures with no windows. These poor things never see the light of day. We heard the lemurs absolutely losing it, causing children to flee covering their e... read more
Don't waste your money. It was so sad to see the enclosures for the animals. The habitats were far from natural and very small. Wouldn't consider this an aquarium at all.
I honestly should have checked the reviews prior to coming. We expected an aquarium, but we were greeted with a vibe that felt more like a circus oddities show. The place itself is run-down and smelly, and the conditions that these animals live in are awful. There is no way that these animals can have a good quality of life when you've got concrete enclosures with feces everywhere and overcrowding in the tanks. I swear, there were big fish sharing space with other big fish in tiny tanks. I kid you not, there was a whole sea ... read more
Although they had a wide selection of animals, these animals are clearly not taken care of. As someone who's in veterinary medicine, it was already a red flag just walking in and seeing how small everything is for the animals. The penguins are kept in a hot cage, no water to dive in, no ice or air conditioning in Texas heat. And one of them had plucked out its own feathers. The llamas outside are severely neglected, one of them looked & smelled deceased. And the other had urine & feces all over itself. I would not recommen... read more
I'm forced to give it a 1 Star but if I could I wouldn't have give it that!!! For a family of 4 cost me $108 with my military discount. They had chickens, bunnies, Gold fish and some other animals. They seemed to be more focused on the arcade and bounce house area... that cost even more money. When visiting San Antonio I would spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
There were barely any animals, those that were there you could likely see at any local farm. The decor was terrible and lacked anything close to what I paid $113 for after tax for 4 people to view. That's before they tried to sale me "tokens" to touch or feed an animal. Terrible, terrible. Find something else to spend your time and money on
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
