Super cool aquarium. Top notch. We went over holidays and everything was jazzed up for Christmas. Including the aquarium exhibits which was cool. Even had santa dress in scuba for shark tank. Only 4 stars because super expensive tickets. 35 per person is a bit much.

While there are more interactive activities than I expected ( touching creatures), the overall experience was not up to par in my opinion for such an expensive visit. There were few animals. We finished the whole museum and revisited several exhibits to fill up the time. The hippo exhibit was half obstructed by some sort of construction. The one animal I was anticipating, the octopus, was completely MIA. I even enlisted an employee to help me search for it. After checking all it's "usual" hiding places, we determined it was not in it's tank at all. I feel so disappointed by our trip yesterday. While I'm sure the kids were greatful for a change of pace, I really don't feel it was a good value.

A lot of fun for the whole family. It's big, but not too big that you're walking endlessly. Parking was $10 flat fee on a Saturday, and just across the street. The venue is kid friendly, clean, and modern. Sits right on the water so also has great views. Outdoor seating on the waterfront is a nice way to eat lunch. A must see for anyone in PA and NJ.

Very fun and educational place for all ages. A large collection of marine animals, sharks, fish, crustaceans, birds among others. Huge fish tanks full of fish, sharks, rays and turtles which can be seen sitting without any hurry. The penguins all very nice and well cared for. It has a play area for children. They also have open ponds of small sharks, rays, and stars for children to touch. With an additional cost you have the opportunity to swim in the pond with the sharks. It also has a bridge that crosses over the pond. Everything is very beautiful

Beautiful place. Love the shark tunnel the most, its incredible. Nice variety of exhibits, not only fish. It has parrots, penguins, hippos, lizards, and others. Especially liked the jellyfish tank and the shark bridge.

Unbelievable I enjoyed every single moment I spent. Sharks; Turtles Hippos: a lot of tropical fishes; piranhas and artificial storm, ooo penguins. Many mores. Definitely deserves a day to spend

Learn something new like a clawless lobster, a turtle who can not put it's head inside it's shell, prehistoric fish and a clone frog being created. Amazing but do buy the membership it is worth every penney

This place is very fun to go if you have only went once. The reason I am giving this place such a low rating is because you will find that after 1 hour you will be bored out of your mind and you will have seen everythjng. This place lacks a lot of interesting things to do. All of the exhibits are interesting at first but quickly get boring as there is no interaction between any of the shows. Oh, and don't even think about coming here twice because they never update any of anything and they don't even add any other things for you to see. The most boring place I have ever been too. More boring than school.

We went here for a school field trip and had a blast. The shark tunnel was amazing and the piranha exhibit with the thunderstorm was unforgettable. There is a lot to do and see here.

Took my son here for the first time and he loved it! Just sad he couldnt really see everything since they're soo packed and they're a little pricey for what they offer but what else would you expect? Will only go here for special occasions

Great place for a rainy day or just a Kill some boredom wow I can't get crowded with a little patience you can still enjoy everything the aquarium has to offer we enjoy taking our 8 year old daughter as well as our 6 month old son he loves the visuals the season passes if your local are very reasonable

This will be one of the most memorable places that I have ever visited. Since this was my first aquarium, I was pleasantly surprised to see the types of aquatic creatures that this place offers. I was delighted to see sharks and be able to touch the fishes, especially the Sting Ray! The shark tunnel was one of the best things to see. If was on a short visit, I would have spent the entire day, which would have been worth the tickets.

Deafening noise, crowded exhibits, and poor architecture make this for an exhausting day that is not worth the price and does not live up to the hype.

First off, don't eat here. The food isn't good and takes forever to get a burger or bad pizza. Nothing is healthy. Also, the entire aquarium is centered around the food court, making it the central place where everyone has to walk through to get anywhere. The hallways are too small for this, so everyone is constantly running into everyone.

If you have little kids, kids with autism or other sensory issues, just avoid this place.

The hippos were great.

Adventure Aquarium had a great setup, the decorations and music are a great touch. My favorite parts are the dark tunnel, the rainforest simulation, and the shark bridge! Food is kind of expensive but you're allowed to bring food in.

I went here with my 14 year old son and they place was nice. My low grading was giving because of the treatment at the ticket window. I had seen an advertisement that admission was $18 for adults. When I got there the young lady said $60 to which I responded that I had seen somewhere that it was $18, she said an adult ticket is $29.95. When I got home I checked online and there it was $18. All she had to do was advise me that the price was for an online ticket. I traveled 3 hours, paid numerous tolls, bought breakfast for several people at the McDonald's parking lot, hit the gift shop, 2 hot dog trucks outside (more hungry people) and $10 for parking I came because my oldest son was working one of the environmental tables outside and money was not the issue. All she had to do was clarify the pricing, that extra $24 could have purchased yet more food for hungry people,SHAME ON YOU WINDOW LADY!!!!

Fun water loving adventure. Touch some of the aquatic animals and enjoy the fun with love shows, with educational and interesting fun facts. Good for any age or interests has this colorful place will captivate the imagination of all.

My daughter and I went on a tour with Sharon (marine biologist) and I couldn't say enough about it! the whole team of people from the biologists to the techs to the engineer's! what a great time! thank you so much! I would highly recommend going to Adventure Aquarium!

It is one of the best places for family outings as well as to take kids along. The place in itself is a knowledge hub and the various exhibits depict the features of natural environment. Last week, I went here with my family and the kids in the family had a lot of fun along with learning.

This was my 3rd or 4th time visiting The Adventure Aquarium and we (myself and my two sons) have always enjoyed our outings there. As a matter of fact, we (myself & my oldest son) were there last week. Each time that we have visited, we were able to identify new and interesting features of the aquarium. We have always had fun there. Furthermore, I can honestly say, that we have always come away wanting to visit the aquarium again.

Enjoyable indoor activity for all ages. They give visitors the opportunity to pet Stingrays, Starfish, and walk over the sharks tank. The demonstrators were welcoming and knowledgable. I purchased the Philadelphia Sighseeing Pass and obtaining my tickets was easy. Will visit again!

Loved it! This is a large aquarium with a lot to do and see! My toddler loved the shark bridge and the hippo exhibit. My baby loved watching the jellyfish. And I loved sitting and watching the sea turtles swim by! We have come twice this month already and I just love it!

Fun place if you can find reduced price tickets. But I don't think anything is worth full price. The kids loved it. But it's fairly small, so depending on the child maybe a quick trip.

We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was so crowded that it was hard to see displays. My son is 12 and it was a change of pace but I wouldn't rush back and certainly would choose a different day or time. We only stayed an hour.

The shark tunnel and bridge were a hit with our two kids under 6 years old. We wemt when it first opened to avoid the crowds. We prefer thus aquarium over Baltimore! Pricey, but search for a Groupon!

Loved this place. The place is neat and clean. It s a little expensive but I understand because of the maintenance they have to keep for the variety of animals. This place is very fun and you learn a lot. It s a great experience to bring little ones and family.
