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
Absolutely wonderful, mostly came in to see Empanada and the keeper was wonderful and let me pet her it was such a amazing experience.
We've been to plenty of aquariums in the past few years but this is a strange, strange place. My kids and I had fun, mostly in the sting ray exhibit but upon reflection the habitats for many animals seemed quite small. Some were better than others but the penguins, boas and octopus definitely need bigger tanks. While there is a moderate collection of animals I do not feel like the price was commiserate with the quality of the exhibit which statistically is more of a lemur/stingray petting zoo than anything else. The employee... read more
Our family visited on a Saturday and it was very crowded but we were able to see all of the exhibits. I am an aquarist and I have to say that I found the aquariums in very unhealthy conditions. The interactive large sting ray tank has a serious red algae problem. The tiny tube tank that the lion fish is in was by far the worst infraction. The algae growth was horrible and the tank is too small for that large fish. On a good note, I do think that the large parrots seemed well cared for and the attendant cleaning the cages was... read more
