Aquarium of the Americas Reviews

Pretty cool Aquarium but expensive and then they wanted to charge extra for the parakeet exhibit. Atlanta Aquarium definitely has it beat.

This place was really cool. Parking is expensive but that's everywhere downtown..

Awesome place for kids of any age. Look at the schedule of activities like sea otter feeding, penguin feeding and you can pet and feed the stingrays. Also have the rainforest area to see parrots and toucans close and not in a cage.

It was a decent aquarium, but a little pricey. And the parking situation made it worse. After spending $50 for admission, it was another $25 for parking. And on top of that, the $5 validation didn't work in the auto pay kiosk because it was stamped on the wrong side.

Great place to spend a rainy day in New Orleans! Sharks, otters, jelly fish and more!

Scales n Ales is one of favorite events of the year to attend.

So much fun! Great to escape the heat on summer days.

The experience is great,great 4 parents n children,see more,do more,wonderful!

This is a smaller aquarium but the facility is nice and the creatures are lovely. It does not take a long time to go through. The shark and ray feeding was very neat to watch.

Beautiful place to visit! So much fun! Highly recommend!

So much fun with the family!
I do wish there was a lacking on gift shops!!

Smallest aquarium we have ever been to. If you drag your feet it is about an hour to view and read everything. If you have never been to an aquarium befor, this is a great one to start with.

The Aquarium is Beautiful. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Great place for the entire family

Great aquarium, perfect place to get inside during the hot summers of New Orleans.

Love this zoo. You can have a whole day of walking around and at the end of the tour cool down at the small water park the have their for an extra $10. The lazy river is the way to go. Lots of fun things to watch and eat and see. I go there pretty often and I don t get tired of it. There is a Lion s exhibit coming soon.

Great aquarium! Both of us and the boys had a great time. Lots of really coll exhibits.

Nice exhibits but overall I feel the cost needs to be slightly lower. The expense to manage the aquarium I'm sure is pretty high but if you drive here the parking is very expensive per hour for public parking nearby but they do validate. Just an observation but there is a fair amount to see and you do get one free 3D theater showing.

Movie about the conservation of reefs in Cuba was fantastic.

The best aquarium I've ever been to. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. The pics you get taken at the entrance are amazing. You all keep doing what you do. You all are by far the best aquarium!!

Place was surprisingly very nice!
Great animals and fish displays.
Staff was user friendly.
Lone moved fast.
They have a military discount!
Parking was reasonable and plentiful.

Much more incredible than I really thought it was going to be. Highly recommended

Nice aquarium, but quite expensive, and NOT a part of the Audubon society. Bathrooms in the IMAX area were dirty and not working.

Cool place to bring my son, not as fun as before Katrina.

Nice Aquarium in New Orleans to take your kids. They have I believe 2 Gift Shops if not more and they have great animals and fish to look at. They have a small but nice Food Court with a choice of either Papa Johns Pizza or another choice that includes Burgers, Chicken, Salads etc. But overall its a really nice place for the kids and maybe even Teens as well

After traveling to different aquariums around the country, I am very disappointed about the amount of exhibits at this aquarium. You plan to be there for most of the day but it only took us 20min.

Cool spot to check out, especially with family. They offer pizza, ice cream and deli food in the cafeteria. Plus if you love birds, the penguins and parakeets are super cute. Money well spent!

Make time for this destination. Very family friendly. The parking deck is just a few minutes away

Wide variety of different animals. Good see while in the NOLA.

It's a great place to visit, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. There is lots of new stuff to learn and see around every corner.
A must see on your visit to New Orleans trip. Oh and they have a resident owl near the end, you gotta see him cause he's watching everyone that comes in the exhibit

Excellent for adults and kids, a lot of fauna to see.

This was great place to visit. Saw some great stuff

I am very impressed with the interactive staff and how involved our kids get with the displays. The divers are wonderful with the kids.

Very pleased with all to see at this aquarium. Great place to visit with family.

Nice Aquarium. Great for a family outing. Plenty to do.

It's ok. Showing it's age. Jellyfish and seahorses were highlights as well as the parakeets. Shark experience was undergoing a refurbish. Giant movie screen was meh. Not 3D as advertised.

Decent sized aquarium. Prefer Chattanooga or Atlanta though.

Very cool exhibits. Kinda small. You can get through it pretty quick. But well worth it.

The line for tickets moved quickly. The aquarium was full of amazing animal. Definately worth a visit or two.

Much smaller than I was expecting, especially after loving our visit at the zoo so much. It took us MAYBE an hour to get through the aquarium, but we still had fun. Just wish it were bigger for the price.

Great view ....I enjoyed the visit totally,the kids would love it.True that

Overpriced not very exciting most of the exhibits were closed

A wonderful experience. Highly recommend taking the time to visit this gem.

Adored this place. Can't wait for the next time I'm in the city so I can go back.

We've been to this aquarium many times over the years. Always fun to visit with my boys, who are almost grown now. They never get tired of it.

The Aquarium is always a fun place to go. My family went and we had a blast with how much the aquarium offers for guests to see. Hopefully I will try to go scuba diving one day.
