Love the aquarium, me and my wife are membership owners and let me tell you that it was 100% worth it! We are planning on renewing or membership when it comes up. The kids love this place, the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Divers are cool and very willing to stop what they are doing to take a photo with you! Been going here for years and still every time find something new that we did not see previously. Price for admission is a little steep but if your planning on going more than just once, I recommend spending the extra 30$ just to get the year membership to go as much as you please!
Excellent parking, able to leave vehicle all day flat $9. Aquarium's policy unlimited entry what a plus, since SO many other things to explore in area. Toured salt water aquarium first. Walked across Walnut St walking bridge to vibrant North shore...Coolidge Park, carousel, quaint shops & cafes. Saw view from Bluff Area. Then enjoyed the fresh water aquarium. Delicious dinner choices right there without moving vehicle. VERY tourist friendly.
Had a very fun time with my girlfriend. I’d definitely recommend it as a nice place to have a date and possibly could be an ice breaker. We enjoyed both the ocean and river exhibits. There was only one thing that was a little weird and that’s when we entered the river exhibit. We had to take a photo together which wasn’t the issue but they also didn’t really give us the option not to. Fast forward to the end of the exhibit they showed us our photos already printed out. Well we really weren’t planning on taking any photos and we didn’t really like the pictures so we denied to purchase them. My issue now is paper was wasted. Maybe show us the photos on a screen/ monitor so we can decide then without wasting any paper? Just a thought/ suggestion. We love the aquarium and will be back.
There are 2 buildings: Ocean Journey and River Journey. Ocean Journey was built in 2005 and River Journey was built in 1992. Ocean Journey has a good bit to see, but River Journey is chocked full of exhibits. There is so much to see and learn, and their conservation efforts and education team are incredible. The staff cares not only about their animals, but cares deeply about the visitors that come in, and will go above and beyond to make their visit as enjoyable as possible, and help out of town visitors navigate around the local area as much as possible too.
This is a great aquarium. It is easy to navigate and the exhibits are great. The staff are friendly and very informative; we spent time talking to several of them, and they were so helpful answering questions about the animals. We loved the touch tanks for sturgeon and sting rays, and really enjoyed the programs we saw on otters, lemurs, and penguins. This is great for families with kids, but also adults. It's easy to walk to restaurants nearby when you're ready for lunch. I appreciated that they offer military/veteran discounts on admission.
