Okay

Paris_M, Mar 2026
Sea-life was amazing I do wish they note that when you book sea life and Lego land you need a kid to go to Lego land, me and my boyfriend didn’t have our daughter so we couldn’t go to Lego land but we still went to sea life

Not good for older kids

Husband and I took our 14 yr old daughter, she's obsessed with sharks. It was OK. Really geared towards younger kids. We walked through in less than a half hour.

Not good for older kids and or adults

Cathy_J, Mar 2024
It's mainly for folks with younger kids. Lots of interactive exhibits. Not worth the $25 a head for older kids and parents. We walked through in about a half-hour.

A great little aquarium

Carla_C, Dec 2023
This equarium isn't big but is packed with hands on experiences and close up views of the a fishes We are older but still thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We spent around 2 hrs walking around looking at all the displays

Interesting, fascinating, & neat.

Seeing the fish all around our heads especially with Gabby who is a special ed. little girl age 13😊😎.

Not worth it!!

Robert_B, Jun 2022
If we were supposed to have a tour guide, they were invisible. We spent over $96.00 for 4 people. The value for our money was nonexistent. I would never give Sea Life a recomendation to anyone because the value is not there.

Disappointing

Taffy_J, Nov 2021
Very crowded could not enjoy the experience. Should limit the number of viewers at a time. Stood in line most of time waiting to see something. We felt the need to hurry so we didn’t hold up people like we were being held up.

Excitement had by all !

Rosemarie_G, Sep 2021
The kids were excited about everything really. The different fish, colors and touching of starfish and other sea creatures. The interactive create your fish and race simulation was fun also. They were disappointed no octopus was there. The staff was great ! And the feeding of the stingrays, electric eel and other fish brought big eyes of awe and wow !

Nice, but expensive!

Sharon_L, Aug 2021
I felt the price was high for this experience. It was small. I will say that it did have a lot of interactive things for children. But, I still think that it was not worth almost $50.00 for two people!

Wonderful

I loved seeing that some of the animals were rescues that they take care of and try to rehabilitate. It was clean. But they let too many in at once and it takes forever to get access to the tanks so the small ones in your party can enjoy. All the adults were taking up all the space and my 2 year old grand daughter couldn't get up close then she got bored with waiting. If the adults held back a little, the children can enjoy it. Or fewer people at a time.

my granddaughter loved this its a very nice facility nicely put together no backtracking a little pricey but considering you can go though do some shopping in the mall and go though again and again didn't think it was so bad

Upon arriving, there were only a handful of people inside. So it was enjoyable to walk around. However, upon leaving a huge group was waiting to get in. Considering the size of this aquarium, that would have impacted our experience negatively as it is rather small and contained. Nice number of small sharks and sting rays. Would suggest more sea horses because everyone loves them. Staff was courteous and friendly however, it took too long for check-in considering we had booked online. The venue is extremely clean - a good thing!
