Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Reviews

DO NOT PREPAY! "Guaranteed savings by pre-paying online". Charged me about $17/adult and we showed up and they were having a $4 per person admission special. Online tickets are a scam.

Worth the money but suggest going on a slower day it s a bit crowded

I can hardly believe it's in a mall! This is legitimately one of the best aquariums I've ever been to, and they pack a lot of awesome into a small space. Everything is really high quality, the staff is great, the views are clear and immersive, and there are plenty of great interactive exhibits and activities. The halls are tight when it's crowded on a weekend.

we are looking for a field trip and we thought this would be the place

Very nice place ... it is always interesting to see the sea life and that our kids know about that.

So many species...so near home! A great afternoon outting.

This place was really fun. Took my daughter and she enjoyed it.

Great experience and really nice place. Not a huge aquarium but great for what it is.

Love Love Love! I have 3 kids under 4 and we absolutely love SEAlife. We bought the annual pass and it has been well worth its money. Not too big. Set up well for the kids to see and learn. They are currently adding some new exhibits. Week days it is pretty much empty. Weekends are busy and packed. You can go behind the scenes for a few extra dollars in Saturdays and if your kids are old it's better. About a 25 minute tour get to pet a few lizards and such. Gift shop isn't overly priced but we are talking about a gift shop. Make sure and look through all the pamphlets they give and look for coupons. And occasionally on Groupon they will have discounted tickets as well!

Beautiful and educational place for adults and kids.

I'd like to give 5 stars, everyone was really nice and I didn't see any dead fish. I do wish they had more hands-on exhibits. My biggest gripe would be that the freshwater fish were not put together geographically for example central American swordtails with asian/indian gourami's and clown loaches with tetras. 99% of people won't care and it's not a issue. I prefer fish to be kept together in a correct biotope, but it's a small personal gripe, I also didn't see any african cichlids which was a big surprise but I know the focus here is more on saltwater fish.

Surprisingly good for being in a mall. Staff is nice and knowledge. Will definitely go back again.

My family and I enjoyed it here! We love to come here and to see all of the animals. The staff were so nice as well, and there was a lot to see. We will be returning again!

A bit cramped, bit they squeeze a surprising amount of sea life into a small space. Great experience for the kids, if it's too hot to go to the zoo.

Kids loved it, very neat...just wish there were more turtles

The pamphlet and pictures appeared to be bright and colorful. We didn't realize how dark it was going to be. Our toddlers didn't even want to go in. If I had not prepaid for tickets we should have turned around and left.

This is a small aquarium compared to some of the others in neighboring cities, but it is conveniently located in the grapevine mills mall. It is also perfect for younger kids. We had my sons 5th birthday here and he had lots of fun.

Just got the annual pass for the family. Overall good experience. There were a couple exhibits that didn't work, but that's to be expected from any public attraction. Looking forward to seeing what's new in 2020!

It is a beautiful place for the whole family to be enchanted

Neat place, there are better aquariums out there. Turtles look dead as hell and looks horrible.

Place is really small. Save your money go to Dallas aquarium

Very high price for what you get i suggest going elsewhere

Small version of Dallas Aquarium good location.A little pricey,but worth it.

Based on the info on their website I was expecting much more to see especially for the price. They should warn you ahead of time that it only takes about 30 minutes to see everything and they rip you off with the cost of admission. I would not recommend it to anyone unless you have tons of money to waste. You are better off going to the Dallas aquarium for the same price with much more to see and do.

Amazing! Loved walking through and seeing all the beautiful creatures/how many animals they've helped!

First time visit and it was really fun for both parents and kiddos!

My family had a wonderful time no matter how many Aquariums we visit. We also enjoyed the behind the scenes tour. Keep up the great work.

Obviously this is more geared towards children, but we still had a good time. Loved all the tanks, very beautiful.

Small aquarium but has really good displays. Covid protocols were in place, not crowded. The have over 600 species of fish and some rescued sea turtles. Young and old will find something cool here.

If I remember these shrimp, fresh food, excellent service.

Interactive and great attraction for kids and adults alike.
Gift shop had very reasonable prizes range.

It was larger than expected considering it was in the mall. Clean. Plenty of places to stop and sit to observe the fish. Nice attraction.

Great place for family. So much fun and lots of activities

I loved this place. My son loved this place.
Buy the combo pass for legoland and the sea life and u won't regret it..perfect for the kids. They loved every bit of it. I think our favorite was the octopus!!

Located inside a mall. Worth checking it out. Friendly staff.

It was okay. I've been to better aquariums. It just felt like we were seeing the same fish over and over again.

Great place for kids. Loved it where we could actually touch the Star fish and sea anemone!

Great place for younger children. Everything is at eye level for most toddlers and the ability to explore. I took my partner and nephew yesterday for their first visit and the absolutely enjoyed themselves. Perfect for some family fun.

Great for the little ones but our large man babies not the best of time

At first I thought it was for kids, boy was I wrong... Breathtaking! Loved the seahorses, smaller sharks, crocodiles and the walk through aquarium!!!

Such a beautiful place, and quite educational as well. They tell you all about turtles, jelly fish, crocodiles, and so much more! Ive been here twice now and each time was so fun!

This is a great place to visit. The aquariums are awesome. Had a great time.

Would be interesting for some with Children to visit and have fun.

Pretty nice place. Informative and interesting. Some of it smells a little but that's unsurprising. Over all it's a great place to go when it's too hot to do anything else.

Was a great little adventure to go on. Wish it was a bit more to see

Great! Very active tanks. For a walk thru in the mall aquarium we managed to spend two hours there without realizing.

It could be bigger but we go a couple times a year so it isn't like it is bad..

It was a nice place to visit, the aquarium very clean, healthy fish. This is very good aquarium specially for kids they'll find a lot to do. But it's little bit pricey. If you book it online you'll save almost 23%.

Neat place to visit. Get coupons some place before going

Enjoyed the experience with my siblings. Wonderful videos too - looooved the focus on conservation and awareness. Friendly and knowledgable team working here. Beautiful aquarium.

Amazing experience highly recommend if you are ever in the area !

Very good place to take a family on a trip, would have given it a five star but it was extremely pricey also didn't have much of a guided tour. Besides that you are greeted with a photo op before you even enter into the aquarium the photo was almost pushed on you just to findout with how much you pay there is no free photo...

Good family day trip! We visited Legoland in the morning, and then hit the sea life aquarium in the afternoon and had a great time

Ours kids 9 months to 9 years really enjoyed Sea Life especially the hands on turtle rescue stations and the underwater tube exhibits. Would give 5 stars but total length of exhibits seemed a little short for what you pay w/o any discounts.

There is parking space, and there are parking facilities for the disabled.
There are no facilities for the disabled.
Don't buy the admission fee here, but sell the anti-info at a place selected by Cosco or Sealife.
Amenities for visitors include a shop selling light food and drinks.
And since there are stores selling souvenirs, you may want to buy souvenirs there.
And there are various aquariums here, so you can see different types of fish.
If you watch the aquarium slowly, you will probably have to spend about 2 hours.
Parents with young children come here and show their fish to the children.
I think it will help
And I think it would be nice to spend time here with your family.

I don't know how they fit an aquarium with sharks into a shopping mall across from some clothing stores, but it makes Grapevine Mills Mall a destination. Staff is friendly and those sharks!!!

It place is fascinating. I love sea life! The fish and sea creatures are amazing. They now have Flashlight Fish. The have lights under their eyes. Truly Awesome !

Love love love this aquarium! It s fantastic for the kids. Very clean, quiet (visited on a weekday), and staff were friendly. Will be back.

This is a great introduction to an underwater world for small children. It s small size ensures a quick exit if necessary. The walk-through, enveloping part is mesmerizing. (Like a tiny portion of Nebraska s Henry Doorly Zoo Aquarium) Brace yourself for the price of a convenient location, as it is about the same as a trip to the zoo.

It's a really great aquarium lots to see and tons of stuff to interact with.

I went there a few years ago and loved it, went a few weeks ago and loved it more! I loved the new octopus they had just got and the employee was very knowledgeable about her. A GREAT place to learn and see all of what our seas have to offer.

Great time! You forget you're in a mall! My three year old loved collecting the stamps, the fish, and the sharks. I enjoyed how each room had a theme!
