Fun with the fishes

Sasha_L, Mar 2026

Cute little aquarium. A bit on the small side and definitely geared more towards kids, but still very nice. All the fish were very active and vibrant.

It's really nice and...

Brenda_B, Feb 2026

It's really nice and staff members are knowledgeable and friendly. Also, you can go through the aquarium multiple times that same day.

Not a merry Christmas

Marybeth_G, Dec 2025

Went with my service dog on Christmas Eve alone. She got excited about the fish and barked once. Staff approached me and told me we would be asked to leave if she barked again. Very upsetting to be treated so harshly

Aquarium date

Roseann_M, Oct 2025

We enjoyed our time at the aquarium. It was informative and there were all kinds of underwater creatures to see. The staff was knowledgeable. A good place to take children.

Great Exhibit

Russell_A, Oct 2025

Was fun and informative. There were many animals that did not have signs/labels for them. Weren’t sure how to engage certain interactive children’s activities.

Aquarium was good enjoyed...

Jason_L, Oct 2025

Aquarium was good enjoyed seeing all the fish. It’s more for kids than grown-ups, which is all right. We still enjoyed it.

Very poor experience, could not enter the program as tickets could not be found.

Adrienn_F, Sep 2025

Did not get the ticket, nor information why, it was revealed when we got to the place and we could not enter. It was not professional and helpful, how it was handled. Not recommending at all to buy this way, go and pay at the event, as i t is possible. The staff is very helpful, the will rock it for you.

This is a very small...

Viktoryia_S, Aug 2025

This is a very small aquarium in a mall. Not sure how one spends 2h there. We walked slowly through all the exhibits and did all the little assignments and were done in less than an hour. Exhibits are interesting and well maintained, there are just not a lot of them. Not worth $25 per person in my opinion.

Wonderful

Mandy_S, Jun 2025

Small Aquarium, great for small children and families , includes a nice area for interaction, a nice break from the mall.

Nice for a spur of the moment kinda thing.

Janice_J, Dec 2024

There were too few exhibits for the admission price. If I were to put a value to it, I’d say $10 to $15 should be the most paid.

Boring for adults

Karen_M, Dec 2024

Boring for adults, ok for small children. Expensive for what it is. Nothing special about the exhibit.

Disappointing

Onelia_R, Dec 2024

Is a small little aquarium for toddlers not for a family. A big disappointment, staff was friendly..

Just right

Antonia_S, Sep 2024

U took my 7 year old daughter she enjoyed the tunnel tank the most.she loved stamping her own card. Also picture with a mermaid

Fabulous experience!

Kathy_W, Aug 2024

We took my 7 month old granddaughter for her first aquarium visit. It was the perfect length and had amazing tanks for viewing! We can’t recommend it enough for littles.

Family fish day

ghenthillrebel, Jul 2024

Our niece and nephew came up from Florida and they enjoyed it very much And so did us adults We even liked making our own fish and painting them

Tiny Sad Aquarium

Otis_R, Mar 2024

Worse aquarium I’ve ever visited. Really small and danky. We have visited plenty of aquariums around the county. This was by far the absolute most disappointing. It may be fine for children 5 and under, but good aquariums wow everyone 0-100 years old. This one did not.

Fun place for kids

Therese_L, Dec 2023

This was a great place to go with kids. There are so many things for them to do and look at. The dive passport was fun because the kids could go around collecting stamps for a prize in the gift shop

Enjoyment

Jennifer_T, Dec 2023

Watching my grown kids enjoy the sealife. Seeing the turtle in the rescue tank and watching the jellyfish

Aquarium Experience

Clay_B, Mar 2023

Enjoyed the variety of marine life to see. The tunnel made viewing up close and personal. Small children enjoy looking for the 8 challenges.

Great aquarium with lots to see

Sharon, Mar 2023

When I saw that the aquarium was in a mall I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was and how many cool things they had to see. I really enjoyed the visit.

Must see and experience event

Terri_C, Feb 2023

Watch sealife in the tunnel (over our heads) was thrilling. This is an experience that all families must go and see.

Definitely recommend

Brittany_M, Dec 2022

This is a great stop in town for the family and kiddos! We stopped at the touch tank and they had plenty to see. During Christmas time they had beautiful trees and decorations to keep in the holiday spirit!

Glad we went

Pamela_C, Oct 2022

Expected a bit more since this is the only Aquarium in the Charlotte area. Tanks could use some TLC. Fish all appeared to be in great health. Staff was excellent. I am glad we went this once.
