I am local and took my father from OK this past weekend. We did only the Aquarium portion. Everything was amazing. Except for the lack of benches to rest. Both he and I are disabled and there were not enough benches for us to rest. We ended up having to leave because of the lack of seating, especially in the first half of the aquarium. By the time we found a place to sit we were already hurting too much to finish the tour. We had to find an exit sign and leave. I’m sure the rest was just as amazing as what we got to see and ... read more
Amazing place worth the money if they get better signs on where to go and workers know directions on how to get out. Glad we didn't have a emergency after being lost for about a hour. There was no expense spared on the museum or the aquariums. Lol just training for the worker's. Still great place.
Went just to the WOW side on a weekday with an out-of state-guest and another relative in a wheelchair. It was clear in most areas that they were not finished. Directional signs and animal/fish/exhibit identification signs were lacking. Mounted iPads in most exhibits helped some with wild life identification, but we found than many weren't working. Many exhibits were so dark that you really couldn't see well. I understand the goal of a great habitat, but if you can't see the wild life, I don't see the point of having animals... read more
The Wonders Of Wildlife is truly a wonder. Every exhibit and animal show cased is fantastic! I would've given the museum 5 stars but I am very concerned with the animal care of one particular animal on display. I understand it's not conventionally regarded as an animal that many people are concerned about however as an owner of this type of pet, I am highly concerned for it's well being. I was disappointed to see the "barn rat" housed alone with out a cage mate. Rats are extremely social animals and it is detrimental to the... read more
Very poorly laid out aquarium. Lots of retracing your steps. Few signs on the fish tanks telling you what kind of fish you are looking at. Poorly trained staff. Not even able to tell you where the nearest restroom is. One staff member told us there was no elevator to get up to the museum, when asked if it was handicap accessible she stated “no, not that she knew of.” (Another staff member did show us where the elevator was) The restrooms I went in didn’t have a changing table. The museum was very nice. Just not quite finishe... read more
Would have been better if everything was finished. The lighting was horrible in some spots.
My husband & I visited the Museum and Aquarium on Saturday for our anniversary. First said, it was amazing! I'm not sure which I liked more! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and we are so glad we went! Now for the down side. It has been said in the media that if you buy tickets and then decide to upgrade to a membership, that the price of your tickets will be applied towards the membership. While that is true, what they leave out is that it has to be done that day! I would think that they would at least give you... read more
Needs little plaques to tell you what the animals are and a little about them.
