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

This place is awful awful, please please do not spend your money to go there. I read the reviews before I went and just took them with a grain of salt, but if your gonna listen to any review LISTEN TO THIS ONE. These animals have TERRIBLE housing and they just look sick and depressed, I left there feeling very sad. The environment these animals are in are just disgusting, it's not worth the money AT ALL

If I could give 0 rating I would. Disgusting place, I wouldn't call it a aquarium, horrible smell, super expensive, very random things everywhere, penguins seriously need to be taken away. I don't know how this place is still open.

I paid $25 per adult to visit the aquarium last Saturday and we were all in agreement that it was totally not worth the price of entry. First of all, the aquarium is quite small, it feels a little run down and some of the exhibits were quite sad. We left feeling like some of the animals (capybaras, penguins, etc) deserved way better environments. Not to mention quite a few of the reptiles were nowhere to be seen. I'm not going to lie, the dinosaur sculptures and Disney princess characters (all except Ariel) they had roaming ... read more

I went in and it smelled like animals everywhere it was really fun i guess but the lingering smell of animals ruined the experience please shut down this place so san antonio never gets called "the one place with that nasty animal smelling zoo!"

it's a good experience, only spent money on the entry, kinda expensive for a small place but got to touch many animals & fish for no price at all!.

Free for teachers and they will accept your ID, email, picture, etc. They have so many animals indoor and outdoor. They mainly have lemurs, but they are so cute. I also learned that some of their animals are rescues from the area which is so nice to know.
