Denver Downtown Aquarium Reviews

The parking is right across the road with easy access, the exhibits take about an hour to an hour and a half. There is a large shark exhibit at the end and a sting Ray pool where you can touch and feed them. And the restaurant has a view that's amazing. Food is great. A bit on the pricy side but the atmosphere is worth it! Definitely give it a try

There are so many cool things to see at this aquarium including sharks, stingrays and even tigers and snakes. You get a really close up view. of everything. I totally disagree with the negative comments by a couple of other reviewers. Someone said the aquarium is small and expensive. I've been to aquariums in Chicago, Europe, Kansas City and at the Omaha Zoo and this aquarium is very similar to those both in size and price. One person said it only takes less than an hour and they had to pay $5 to park. It's not a zoo where you have to walk long distances.

Fun butntoo short of a visit resauraunt is good though

Can be a quick visit or take your time, I got a membership because I live close, with a couple of visits the membership pays for itself, has a beautiful restaurant, just like to sit down and watch sharks & fish swim at times.

The kids had a wonderful time . They also ask MANY questions and the people over there were knowledgeable and very friendly, thank you for making our experience so much fun.

Way better than expected, very well organized and interesting

Pretty pricey but if you love the sea, this is the place to be!!!

Was not expecting much when I decided to bring some visitors as an activity, but it was surprisingly good and between the exhibits, mermaid performance and scheduled activities, brought out the kids in all of us. A great way to spend a morning and then go for a walk along the confluence and the shops in the neighbourhood that are scattered about.

A bit small but it is a very nice aquarium. I loved watching the fish while eating dinner. That was actually the best part of the day.

I made a joke about this place being bad but its actually surprisingly good for an aquarium in Colorado where all we have is trout, I would usually give it a 4 star review but I feel bad for giving it a 2 before so here's five

I've always enjoyed the aquarium and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars this time is just because of covid stuff. You need to wear a mask throughout the facility. They have select time slots to buy tickets for which sort of helps with spreading people out, but obviously not completely because once you're inside you want to stop and read or look more. So just be prepared for more people in certain areas than other areas. I was finally able to see one of the tigers out and about which made me happy. Every time I've been before, they've either not been out at all or all I could see was a paw. One of the otters was out too which was also cool! The restaurant was open and so was the gift shop. I wish I would've been able to see more of the big turtles but unfortunately I only saw one in the big exhibit. Overall a good time even though it felt very short based on the cost of the tickets, but, no real issue there because I love the aquarium.

It's amazing I got to see all the animals and it's great!

It was good! The sharks are super cool. I loved the stingray touch pool. But their macaw seemed really sad though. Its cage was small and he was all alone and seemed kind of angry.

Love it, it was great!! Lots of cool stuff to see!! Fun!!

Great family activity in Denver, the exhibits are impressive and the restaurant is great!

I would rate 5 if it wasn't 120$ for our pictures and to get us in with a discount. It's such a beautiful place tho

Place was so amazing we went through it twice in one go.

Best place in Colorado to see the aquatics! Fish, sharks, tigers, everything!

Goods were so cute and fascinating lol if you have children, go right now!

I've toured many aquariums and frankly this one surprised me! For it's small size its organized in a way to pack in a lot of species, both fresh and saltwater. It's designed to have guests follow a meandering path through all exhibits, and each tank or display is beautifully put together. Standouts here are the freshwater rainforest area, where they have massive arrowanas and 3 adult tigers!

Great fun for family. I nice
Collection of aquatic species.

Great for kids and adults. Restaurant in the aquarium wasn't bad either, good portions and fairly priced.

Coming in the man there asked to take our picture, we politely said no thank you. He then proceeded to say "well, it is how we get paid but alright." He didn't say that to the people in front of us that also said no. We came to have a good time without the guilt trip. Thanks.

Great interesting and very knowledgeable. Had a blast

Five stars because I got to touch a stingrays, starfish, urchin, and horseshoe crab.

Loved the Denver aquarium!! Tickets priced fairly, cheap even! Huge gift shop area to enjoy and dining options. The dining is pretty expensive!! Lovely environment though! So much to see. A few activities that interact with some exhibits, which was cool. Fun for a date or for the whole family! I would definitely recommend this place!

I had a little fun but would not pay 22$ again. The face painting lady was very nice though!!!

I love this place! I got a season pass for myself so I can take a date or my nephews/nieces whenever I want.

Awesome place. Wait to watch the flash fllod i missed it bummer.

A beautiful and well put together aquarium. Once of the employees stopped what she was doing to answer my and my husband's questions.

Pretty good. Not spectacular. Good place to bring kids though! They loved it.
