I waited all those years for you to reopen and sorry but I am very disappointed. In the museum alot of the exhibits were dimly lit so you couldn't see any details. In the aquarium it felt like I was just looking at the same kinds of fish all the way through and very few reptiles. My daughter and I had more fun going through the old one. Don't waste your money.

Beautiful museum and aquarium....BUT why is there no AARP or senior discount so that more seniors can afford to visit this wonderful place? I really think such a discount ticket and membership is needed soonest!

The aquarium was extremely nice however, I bought a package deal and one of the places we bought tickets for was closed for the weekend, we were not informed of this and after driving all the way there is how we found out after contacting wonders of wildlife they said could not help me,

Cashier failed to apply our military discount. When my husband noticed it he had to go back to the cashier an show her the mistake. They said it will take 3 days to get 158$ back an we had to pay 138$ to go through that day. Crowds were horrible an wait time was bad. Once we got into the aquarium it was so packed you couldn’t even see the animals. The museum was extremely hot. Way over priced for the what we experienced. I have no plans on returning based on this bad experience. I took my kids to the Aquarium in Jynx, Oklaho... read more

Absolute waste of money. Place was over crowded anywhere you turned you would run into someone. Couldn’t get to any of the places to actually view the wildlife because of all the people that were in front of you. We did go when it was half priced so Im sure that played a part in it but even at half price it was a full disappointment.

Way overcrowded. Couldn't see anything. Walkways narrow to much and create log jams of people. May try again on a weekday. Not worth a 2 hour drive. 

Business response:

Thank you for providing your feedback and letting us know about your experience, Troy. As our peak days are Friday - Sunday, we recommend planning a visit Monday - Thursday for lower crowds. If you choose to visit on the weekend, best times for entry are after 4:00 pm. We hope this helps!

Drove all the way there to be told we had to wait 2 hours after buying our tickets to get in and this was at 2:00 with few people in line. So disgusted and thinking it’s a ploy to get you to walk the store and shop for two hours...Ugh 😏

We drove 4 hours away and have been looking forward to this since it opened. The price is not worth what we seen. When we ordered tickets we were not aware that this was a half price weekend for surrounding areas, so it was crazy busy so we missed a lot. Staff was wonderful and friendly, we understand you can't control the public but this is way unorganized. We have been to Ripley's and it is only $25 a person and more to see. I understand that the $40 also gets us the Wildlife Museum as well but it was so busy my family was... read more
