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.
Dirty and everything has and extra charge. Not cheap to get in. You have to go through an arcade to get to the other side try bringing kids through an arcade and telling them they can't play because you don't want to spend any more money? The city of San Antonio should be ashamed of this dumpy little money grab.
This place is animal torture and needs to be shut down. The animals are clearly mentally and physically unwell. They have lemurs, groundhogs, cats, and porcupines in small dirty cages on tiled flooring inside an abysmal and dilapidated building. There is no sunlight for these animals and they have no area to seek refuge from the noise of crowds and prodding hands. Anybody can literally walk into their enclosure and harass them under the guise of petting or as they call, "encounters." I know people like to interact with anima... read more
I visited this aquarium with a pretty low expectation and I'm happy to say it exceeded them. The interactive exhibits are a lot of fun and showcase a wide variety of colorful fish. The bird exhibit, with its vibrant, colorful birds, was a highlight. There are also many engaging animals like lemurs, kangaroos, llamas, and my personal favorite, the penguins. Seeing the sea turtle up close was an awesome experience. One of the most exciting parts was the chance to pet stingrays and sharks. Watching the kids shriek with joy was ... read more
My family was not a fan of this place. Poor animals looked sad & staff wasn't friendly. Won't be returning.
Good time at San Antonio's Aquarium - it was entertaining. Maximum interaction, and its indoors. We spent three hours here. I would probably opt for an annual membership, as you will have access to additional areas at no cost. I didn't know you get access to aquariums in both San Antonio and Austin. The aquarium has a lot of land animals. but the most aquatic spaces were the petting (feeding) areas for the rays, the sharks, and carp. They have small gators, they have large boas. You can feed iguanas, tortoises, ducks, parrot... read more
I am sad to have have given this place my money. The enclosures for the animals lack any type of enrichment. These animals look stressed. The enclosures are made of these tile floors that can't be comfortable for them. And then the fact that you can touch most of these animals does not sit right with me. It would be one thing if workers were at each station monitoring the exhibits. But nope. And every 3 out of 4 employees I saw throughout looked miserable and were on their phones. These animals should be "rescued" from this ... read more
