Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center Reviews

Nice place to enjoy with the family we love the butterfly room and the shark tank

Great Aquarium! Nice Sharks, Otters and Sea Lions and smaller exhibits! Butterfly Room was cool. Love the reef tank. Petting the Rays was fun!

Really nice place with alot to see and do. A bit costly but worth checking out.

One of the best spot to spend some time with your family and friends! Highly recommend

I really like this place special the butterfly room. It's great place to spend time with family

I love all animals and this place satisfies. My favorites, stingrays, greeted us upon entry and that filled my experience with joy. I will return. Highly recommend

Place was awesome, got to see some really cool things.

Nice place for an afternoon visit. My favorite attractions were the butterfly room where they fly around freely as you walk through the space and the stingray pool where you can pet/feed baby stingrays.

This place is ok, when we went it was very crowded. It was during the week.

Great place to visit although smaller than I thought would still visit more

Wonderful exhibits and very friendly, informative staff. The sea lion show was hilarious. There are exhibits where you can touch stingrays and other sea animals like hermit crabs.

Love this place but people were lowering their masks in some exhibits. Was not always safe feeling.

Omg had the best birthday experience there. Definitely do one of the one on one animal experiences if you are a fan. We picked the penguin experience and it is something I will cherish forever.

Surprisingly large and varied exhibits, from sand tiger sharks, to Japanese monkeys, to butterflies. Worth the trip.

So fun and a beautiful place to go! Perfect for anyone that loves nature! Really great first date location during off season because there are less kids.

Every time I come here they always do something different. The stingrays are the best.. The butterflies and the birds are amazing. Its worth the trip.. I highly recommended a nice day trip with the family or out with a few friends

What a wonderful place! The staff were amazing and the kids absolutely loved it!

This place is awesome!! So many great things for all ages!

I love the aquarium A+
Very cute and venomous creatures among the sea friends

Its great for all ages 3-100. My family had a great time

Always have a lot of fun here just really expensive

3 star just for the price. $28 per adult and if child 3 years old $20. Limited shows in offseason time and the same price.

Butterflies, birds and sharks are a must to see. Great outting would recommend

great place for the family. If you plan on going more then once get the season pass. It can be expensive but worth it. Military Discount for Veterans!!

Beautiful place to see your favorite creatures of the ocean, idk to me they look happy, im not an expery with Fish or Mammals but theyre in the water swimming around and sharing there lives with humans. Love it!

Nice for kids but it s expensive when it comes to the cost for more than two family members

Awesome place to get rid of the troubles of life and just relax

This aquarium has added so many more fantastic exhibits since I was here donde years ago. Great theme and adventure on long island!

This is a cool, atlantis themed aquarium. Plenty to see and do on a nice day

Parking fee on top of admission is an expensive day trip...

Gray for family outings. My kids love this place. Season passed ate the way to go here. On busy days we stay less and slow days stay longer. Great exhibits.

I love going to this place as an adult or with kids. Educational and fun at the same time. The salt water reef tank is amazing.

Had Browns Jeep holiday party there ...food and everything was great

WELL LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY I THOUGHT IT WAS A RIP OFF. I MEAN THERE WAS HARDLY ANY ATTRACTIONS.THE SEAL SHOW WAS THE BEST PART.I HAVE TO SAY NOT WORTH THE TRIP. EVERYTHING WAS WAY OVER PRICED FOR HAVING VIRTUALLY NO ATTRACTIONS.BUT HEY YOU MAY LIKE IT IF YOU JUST WANT TO WALK AROUND

People who work there are very friendly and knowledgeable . Will definitely go back . Was lots of fun.

My kids and I had a lot of fun while visiting some beautiful wild animals.

Great place to visit get coupons in advance at the library.

Really cool! On the negative side, only two children's toys on the outside that swallowed the coins and when we went to complain, they said they were not working, although there was no warning

My favorite place to be on the weekend. I love it so much!!

Had the time of my life visiting Long Island Aquarium on 8/3/17 , the Aquarium and exhibits itself was very amazing and interesting to see , all the staff and workers at this Aquarium were very welcoming and nice , the best part of the whole visit was the Shark Dive - what an amazingly incredible fun experience to go underwater, face to face with all those awesome sharks ,the Divemaster and guide were absolutely incredible in everything they did to make this experience once in a lifetime , I will definitely be returning again to do the shark Dive again because it was so amazing and definitely want to experience it again, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrill seeking adventure/ experience!!! I was also able The get the whole shark Dive on video from the go pro that you can get as part of the shark Dive package !! And doing the shark Dive is very easy , it's not like regular scuba diving where you need to use a regulator to breathe underwater , it's a full face mask that you wear underwater and are able to breathe normally as you would and you could also communicate with the mask too , talking to the divemaster or guide/educator above while they are talking to you underwater about the shark and other underwater species swimming around the cage . The shark Dive at Long Island Aquarium was all together an amazing experience as well as the Aquarium itself and the sea lion show (definitely recommend as well) !!!! Thank you Long Island Aquarium and to all your staff for making my visit absolutely amazing and fun ! Great job!!!! If I could give this rating more than 5 stars I would give it 10 stars!!!!

I know they have off season prices which is only fair since many activities are outdoors, however to charge full admission price during winter break because kids are off from school and they they'll be busy is just greed.

My son got married here! The food and atmosphere were outstanding. The staff was attentive and very professional. Plus it is a great aquarium.

My son and now daughter in law had their wedding there last week and it was spectacular.

First time back at this place in over 8 years. They've made a lot of great changes. Family had a great time there.

This is a beautiful place to visit with the family. The scenery is fun to look at and the experience there is definitely worth it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food isn't horrible and you can even go snorkeling with some of the sea creatures. It was exciting for me getting to see and learn about the many different types of animals in the ocean and the kids were excited about it too.

Fun for all ages! Go there on a nice day during the week in the winter for a more personal experience and discounted rates.

Great aquarium. They have various shows, boat rides and beautiful exhibits.

Very interesting exhibits
Negative experience with their first aid...there isn't any
my 3 yr old grandson bump his head on jutting rock at sea lion show got a huge gash...1st aid was a wet tissue in a closet....

Always some to see and do here. Super great for children, can be busy so try to get there early. Can be expensive as most educational places are, still great

Great experience just need a little cleaning and attention to detail. Other than that it was a nice day. I suggest to eat before coming or brace yourself for $20.00 plus for over priced cafeteria food. I only bought 1 fountain drink and 5 small pieces of mozzarella sticks and 3 cold chicken strips, it came out a little less than $25.00 and almost $4.00 water bottles. Overall, butterfly house is a must we went in twice!

We purchased tickets online ($35 admission adult). You need to pick the time due to COVID19 rather than walk in. They have a parking lot a block away and $12 all day. We just found a street parking instead. The only con is their sanitizers were not working. They close at 4pm btw

This is a small but very well done aquarium. They have tons of things to do for the kids . I would say the best time to go is when it gets a little warmer outside and the outdoor part of the aquarium is more accessible.
