Despite the number of kids, parents etc., There place was kept very clean and the movbs of kids, parents and baby carriages were able to move smoothly thru the exhibits. The restrooms were kept clean. Once you interpreted the map of the address, things were easy to find. The food in the cafeteria was hot. The online ticket purchased were a good deal for both for and tickets. I think the aquarium folks are doing a fine job especially on a cold rainy school vacation summer day!.

Love this place! Unless you are planning on visiting often, do not purchase the Pass. Just pay when you go and you will actually save some money on your trips. The facility is AMAZING. You will have an unforgettable experience no matter the season. Bring your children along. They will have a blast!

Excellent place for kids. Kids can't get enough of it. Good variety of fishes and other animas. Hippo feeding was a different experience. They allow everyone to touch stingrays...how cool is that!
Good food and ice creams inside.
Just plan well for parking because if the nearby lot is full, you have to park two blocks away.
There is a shuttle till 3:00 p.m. ( I guess) but have to wait for it.

It really is nice summer outing for you and the kids. This place has mastered the art of interactive learning. It isn't big and you can walk the entire aquarium in 2 hours max maybe 2.5 which all depends on how long you send at each site. To add its most all in doors so sun, snow, hail or rain you can still visit this place!

Good collection of marine life, especially the tropical fishes including the Corel. My kids enjoyed the aquarium quite a lot. I have the annual membership, and will likely go back again. Aquarium is quite popular and crowded at times; but we managed to get through most of the animals we wanted to see.

Nice place to take the family. Shark tunnel, hippos,and penguins were great. I highly recommend getting there when it opens,easy to find parking and a small line. We left around 1 and the lines to get in were at least a 90 minute wait!
Camden ...fix the roads around this area. The aquarium and battleship are main attractions but your major roads are brutal.

We got a season pass this year because I figured I would take my 2 boys more often since they get around pretty well. They love it, especially the hippos and the shark tunnel. We walk the whole place and they're excited to see everything. I only got the pass a month ago and we've gone twice already. The first time I guess it was spring break so it was REALLY busy even on a Monday. Rather then wait on line that is when I bought the season pass from my phone, and they scanned it at the door, saved a bunch of time. This last time, was also a Monday, and it wasn't too crowded at all. Hippo feeding time gets crowded. Someone said that wasn't anything special, but my kids, and others LOVED it when the hippos opened wide and were right up against the glass.

Things I would work on: I agree with others who say there could be more attractions. It's a huge space, and a lot is wasted. Maybe they could expand the penguin area too (there's some unused space back there), so they have more room to run around and swim, and then they might do more than just stand there. I never see them in the water, and this last time it was HOT out! My absolute biggest issue is that they don't make some of these things easy for young kids to view. They have like fake rock faces in front of some of the small exhibit windows when I wish they had a step so the kids could lift up to a good height to see into these little windows. I'm lifting them, or they sometimes climb on top of the fake rock walls. Not sure why they don't have this, it would make a huge difference, and super cheap fix. If it's to discourage climbing, then no, it's not working, it's just making it more awkward. Kinda thoughtless when it's definitely geared towards kids. Mine are 4 and 2. We almost tried the new Shark bridge attraction, but my 4 year old got too scared and didn't want to do it. Maybe next time. It's nothing that special though, the shark tunnel is more interesting to me. In short, big Aquarium, lots of great things to see, but there could be more. I think time for a remodel on some areas to add in more things, and give some of the creatures more space to move around.

They checked temperatures which relieved some worries because social distancing was nonexistent here. I will say the aquarium itself was on point with signs and reminders but the guests were wild! Cool exhibits; especially the hippos and sharks. So much to see so plan to be there a while. The penguins were, of course, adorable! A little sad to see them, and many others, in small enclosures! I m not trying to start anything with Mrs. Baskin, we all know what she is capable of. Any-who, great place, check it out!

Hippos, sharks, penguins, and other assortments of small animals to see. Up and close nice viewings great for a family time out. Pricing is slightly high but understandable because the animals require much upkeep and expense. Would recommend this to everyone also educational for the little ones!

First time there and it was a wonderful experience. Very kid friendly (I had 5 kids with me...10,8,5,5,3 years old. Fun for all. All the workers were kind and helpful. The exibits were all awesome and easy even for the little ones to see. Pricing I feel was very reasonable for food as well as in the gift shop. Awesome place to visit

About Adventure Aquarium

Explore one-of-a-kind exhibits with over 15,000 aquatic animals, including the largest collection of sharks in the Northeast, hippos, penguins and more!

Adventure Aquarium: A World of Aquatic Wonders

Adventure Aquarium is a premier destination for anyone who loves aquatic life. Located in Camden, New Jersey, this aquarium boasts over 15,000 animals from all over the world. With one-of-a-kind exhibits and interactive experiences, Adventure Aquarium offers visitors a chance to explore the wonders of the ocean and its inhabitants.

The aquarium's most popular exhibit is undoubtedly "Shark Realm," which features the largest collection of sharks in the Northeast. Visitors can walk through a 40-foot tunnel surrounded by sharks swimming overhead or watch them being fed during daily shows. The exhibit also includes other species such as stingrays and sea turtles.

Another must-see exhibit is "Hippo Haven," where visitors can get up close and personal with Button and Genny, two Nile hippos who call Adventure Aquarium home. This immersive exhibit allows guests to see these massive creatures both above and below water as they swim around their habitat.

For those who love penguins, "Penguin Island" is not to be missed. This outdoor exhibit features African penguins waddling around on land or diving into their pool for a swim. Visitors can even watch them being fed during daily shows.

But Adventure Aquarium isn't just about big-name exhibits; there are plenty of smaller displays that showcase unique aquatic life as well. For example, "Jules Verne Gallery" takes visitors on an underwater journey inspired by Verne's classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The gallery features exotic fish such as lionfish and angelfish swimming among coral reefs.

In addition to its exhibits, Adventure Aquarium offers several interactive experiences that allow visitors to get hands-on with marine life. For example, guests can touch stingrays at Stingray Beach Club or feed birds at Lorikeet Landing.

Adventure Aquarium also hosts special events throughout the year such as Shark Week celebrations or holiday-themed activities like Christmas Underwater where Santa Claus dives into one of the tanks to deliver presents to some lucky fishy friends!

Overall, Adventure Aquarium provides an unforgettable experience for anyone interested in aquatic life - whether you're a seasoned marine biologist or just someone who loves watching fish swim around! With so much to see and do here it's no wonder why it has become one of New Jersey's top tourist attractions!
