What parents highlight
“It’s not as big as others well known aquariums but it is very clean and entertaining!”
“My wife, my toddler and I came to visit the aquarium before a cruise on January 18th.”
“My personal favorite exhibit is the jelly fish area There is plenty of parking, but this aquarium is a bit out of the way.”
What parents say
Very nice place. It's big. It might have been 5 stars, but it's pretty pricey. And in all honesty, I don't think I got my money's worth. Friendly staff. Beautiful setting. But definitely a one and done for me.
Bought tickets in October and got a flat tire on the way. Called and staff gave me a 90 day rain check to use my tickets which was so helpful and appreciated! Finally got to go on a wonderfully sunny day and completed the aquarium in approximately 1 hour with my two under two daughters!
We loved this place! It’s not as big as others well known aquariums but it is very clean and entertaining! Penguin and seals surprised everyone in our family. Tickets were expensive but comparing to other places we visited in Texas it was worth it. Big thanks for keeping it aquarium only.
This place never gets old. Been here only a few times with in the last 20 years. We saw the 3D movies first and then explored the pyramids. The Discovery Pyramid wasn't open b/c they were doing a new exhibit or something which kinda sucks now that I think about it.
