it's was away over priced to look at s fish swim in a little tank
Don’t take a stroller or wagon because there are far too may up/down elevator changes. The entire aquarium is dark; not just a section or two but the majority. Not a huge problem but I wasn’t prepared for it & it unnerved me to the point I couldn’t enjoy myself. Definite bonus points for recycling kids coloring sheets & not having any straws in the snack bar.
Very disappointed. Wanted to see the Aquariums and the live animals. Had to go through all of the dead things first. Also the live animals have small cages and all the dead animals have huge rooms. Give all the live animals to a zoo. The cages were not nice for the live animals. There were so many things I would suggest they do to make it better. The photographs of the wild animals were beautiful. The paintings were great. The Aquariums were beautiful. I did think the stingrays were upset as they could not settle. I will no... read more
Wasn’t worth it... seems great the first 10 steps then you start to notice your seeing the same aquarium from different sides of the glass....
If you visit the Wonders of Wildlife attraction in Springfield MO BEWARE!! We are season pass holders or we were until today. According to James the head of security they have this incident almost daily but weekly for sure. He then proceeded to tell us Welcome to Springfield like we were tourists and then told my 75 year old mother it was her fault our car was robbed since she left her purse in the car. He then proceeded to tell me that I don't need to involve the Police department, I should just file an insurance claim. ... read more
Madness. Not stroller friendly by any means. Way too many people, which is fine. I DO NOT recommend for small children that are stroller and smaller size.
RecommendedFish aquarium, It has freshwater and saltwater fish amazing and beautiful. I would definitely do it all over again with the family
In order for this to be educational, rather than simply entertaining to look at, it would be helpful if there was easily accessible information about animals by each display. Also should become AZA accredited.
Really liked it. Only wish there was a sign for each of the individual animals telling their own story….like the bald eagle, owls, black bears, otters, albino alligator, ect. That would make it more interesting imo and also a way to generate 'adoption' funds for the museum. The main floor saltwater fish and reef displays are cloudy. Somehow need to clean that up for better viewing. The shark dive tank was clear both looking into the water and thru the glass.
