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.

From personal experience, I was shocked at just how much is available at this aquarium. This is also my first and only aquarium experience/visit ever. But I of course did not expect sloths, alligators, toucans, reptiles, goats, chickens, rabbits, etc. The sheer amount of space in this building is shocking. You'll find a number of fish tanks as well as open enclosures for hundreds of animals. You'll also find a bouncy castle room, a cafe, an arcade, a gift shop, and an entire outdoor exhibit. I thought it was incredibly acces... read more

Literally don't waste your time or money... idk how a $24 ticket ends up being almost $32 with all these fees they add on. I showed up at 5:30... they close at 8:00... Exhibits that had "viewing times" in exchange for tokens were closed even though it was still well within the time frame to interact with them. But two workers didn't want to be bothered with their selfie sessions. We wanted to see the kangaroo & the viewing time was 6-7 pm... at 6:15 They told us the animals had already been fed and we couldnt see them. Then ... read more

Me and my two teens loved the aquarium. Our favorite part and something we will remember forever, is hand feeding and petting the baby stingrays and skates. They were very sweet animals. We will have to go back to experience all of the interactive bird exhibits... was closed for cleaning while we were there. During the afternoon?! It was the PRIMARY reason I chose the aquarium for my daughter's birthday, but I hope we can go back. Got a discounted price by using my S.A. Pogo Pass..This aquarium has many surprises around ever... read more

The tanks are all too small for the amount of animals in them. The koi tanks are WAY too small. They can barely turn around in it and swim. They have a sea turtle in a tank that is too small. Almost all the tanks are "touch tanks" for you to touch the fish with zero workers there watching over the tanks. It is barely an aquarium and has what seems like more land animals and birds than anything aquatic. This aquarium definitely gives "for profit" vibes and not "conservation" vibes. I would not recommend if you want to see thr... read more

probably one of the saddest aquariums my husband and i have been to. we both left just devastated due to the treatment of animals. for one, the animals were all hiding, sitting there hugging each other, or not moving at all. secondly, there's construction happening and when we walked by there was trash all in the animal exhibit and it was disgusting. the animals seemed so sad just waiting by doors like they wanted to get out. the price of just two of us was kind of ridiculous and then having to pay $50 for just a few tokens ... read more

This is THEE saddest place I've ever been to in my life. Every animal had an air of sadness to them. This aquarium felt like it would be the exact place an animated movie about animals breaking out of containment would be based on. I truly hope for the animals' sake that this embarrassment of an aquarium closes.
