Total waste of time and money. But Since we had the pogo pass , it was checked off the list. To view any information you have to scan a QR code and need tik tok. Which not everyone has. Everything requires a token or several to feed or touch etc. The offerings are small and I mean tiny. The floors were being actively mopped as people and kids were walking . They put up signs but definitely need a dry swifter type after the mopping . There's a small bounce house inside . And a tiny arcade. We didn't waste any mon... read more

The San Antonio Aquarium is more of a petting zoo than it is an aquarium. We did have a lot of fun as the petting zoo area provides close encounters with Lemurs, kangaroo, penguins, and a sloth. Our 12 year old daughter loved the experience. They gave a large indoor area and a small outdoor area. We spent almost 3 hours at the aquarium. Highly recommend for children up to 13 years old.

Probably the worst aquarium or zoo or whatever they want to call it that I have ever been to. I am walking this mess of a habitat, better word containment and I am appalled by what they consider suitable living spaces for these living creatures.

I was really looking forward to coming here, as this is one of the only locations in the world that you can hold lemurs. I LOVE lemurs. After convincing my fiancé to come here on our trip, we had to pay upwards of $80 for tokens to be able to hold these lemurs. After waiting for two hours due to lemur behavioral issues, the zookeepers disappeared in the back and refused to answer any questions. They kept saying the next keeper would "be right back", but never came back. We were put off for an extra hour before we finally gav... read more

Employees are rude especially the girl up front. Tokens are $3 each for animal experiences. I bought 5 and took 2 home with me. Not worth it. The place was very dirty for just opening. The animal cages are small and unkept. Surprised to see they had penguins now which was really sad.

This was our second time visiting. Me and my boys LOVE it!! Yes some of the tanks look a little dirty and some areas might smell funny but the way this aquarium lets you touch and interact with almost every animal here way outweighs the negative complaints!! My toddler and 7 year old love being able to touch and interact with everything without getting in trouble or told not to touch. They were entertained the whole time and fell asleep right after from all the excitement. 10/10 great experience. We will be back a 3rd time!

Conditions for the animals are horrendous. Enclosures are too small and mostly concrete. I can't imagine how this place is allowed to run. Touching the animals seems unsafe for us and them as there's little opportunity to properly sanitize between exhibits. It's overall depressing. If you care about the wellbeing of animals do not give money to this establishment. I hope it goes out of business and the animals find better living situations.

Hurricane sized shout out to Mike G (Mohawk haircut) and Ann A (birds) for calling the authorities and getting a crated dog out of the heat in the parking lot. Some geniuses thought it was ok to leave a crated dog in the bed of a REF pickup truck in this severe Texas summer heat (100 degrees plus). Like really! Parking under a tree doesn't cut it! Thank goodness for those two noticing the dog and giving it water while waiting for the police to show up. And we hope the dog is doing well and no longer being neglected after tha... read more
