Very knowledgeable. Answered every question. Went out of his way to fix and resolve the issue. He went out of his way to help my fix what I thought that might have been the problem after the fact. Which was my settings on my TV

Takes at most 3 hrs if visiting without kids. Take picture of show times. Get booklet with map and lots of fun facts.
Elizabeth_S, Feb 2026
We had a great time. Love that there are so many exhibitions for the kids to interact with. Would definitely go again!

This was such a great time / experience. I came with my 8 year old and teenager. Both boys had a good time. We came late morning (11am) on a Friday. There were some school groups there but it was not crowded. We never had to wait in line or felt crowded. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. On the interactive areas, my little one was timid and a little scared at first. The staff would pick up on it. They engaged him and made him feel comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful aquarium that appeals to kids and adults. Closely monitored and expertly docented touch tanks, 4D theater that offers a really cool live bird show. Don't miss the lorakeet enclosure.
Hannah_Y, Dec 2025

Sonya_M, Oct 2025
It was ok, not worth the money spent. The only thing that was nice was watching the seals being fed and the cultural show.

Loved our visit!
Would definitely return! 100%
Tracy_H, Oct 2024
Way smaller than y'all make it out to be online. Not worth over $200. Also the he/she mermaid employee was creepy going around talking to all the little kids. Gave off major creep vibes! Do better!
Iliana_F, Sep 2024

Adalberto_R, Jul 2024
Bad place,stolen money ,nothing interesting,better things in my state never coming back and never recommending
Kim_G, Jun 2024
We went on Tuesday June 18, 2024. Got there around 11. There must have been 1000 preschool and day camp kids there bused in on school buses. There was so many kids it was terrible, we 2 adults with our 2 grandkids ( aged 16 and 11) couldn’t get close to see anything. Also, there were attractions closed for “special events”. I feel like I wasted money for nothing.

Worst experience ever. Straight garbage. Stay away from this service provider. I will not use provider again
Jordan_S, May 2024
Sat in line for the parking structure for 2 hours before leaving. Never got close to getting in. Do not buy tickets off this site, they oversell tickets knowing they will not give refunds
Karen_T, Apr 2024
All of the staff were super friendly and informative. Very enjoyable experience. The shark exhibit was nice and the giant manta ray was incredible. We also enjoyed the Olive Ridley turtles and the jellies.
Priscilla_M, Apr 2024
I had a great visit. Exhibits were great. Some were under construction when I visited but it looked like they were making room for some more wonderful things. Can see everything
in just a couple hours.
Rita_H, Apr 2024
My favorite part was being able to touch the marine life. I wish there was a little more variety of breeds.
Bridget_G, Feb 2024
Great experience. Tickets came right away. The aquarium was way more than I expected it to be. It was a great place to spend a day, there was something for everyone's interest. When we were done there was a nice walk way around the bay. There were many places to choose from to eat. The gift shop had some great items to purchase.
Rafael_j, Feb 2024
Everything was great and wonderful would recommend it for the whole family would go back again I like that you have a lot of things to do after
Lori_Y, Nov 2023
