Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Reviews

A fun experience. Very nice exhibits, good variety. I saw shark eggs for the first time. Kid - friendly. I climbed into an observation dome made for children to check it out and liked it. I liked the platform over one tank, made so you can look down into it. One exhibit had so many varieties of fish, it was impressive. I enjoyed the little tidal pool display where you can pet the sea stars and sea anemones. I took one star off only because I thought it was a little expensive.

Excellent place to watch sea creatures and have a good time. They even have a "petting zoo" with starfish.

We took our 1 year old daughter and it was a good attraction. She loved to see all of the various sealife.

Fantastic alot of interactive activities you could do grandson loved it

Better than Dallas aquarium for toddlers but lacking on upkeep. They need to do a little overhaul of all the little activities/learning areas for kiddos. We will go back to see the upcoming shark exhibit.

Great Aquarium for younger children. There's a petting zoo with starfish, sea anemone and such. Lots to do and see.

Sea Life Aquarium is a great little aquarium in the Grapevine Mills Mall. There are plenty of exhibits to keep the kids interested. Instead of Legoland, buy a ticket for here.

Not a bad place at all. Better than the one at Ridgemar Mall. Wasn't busy when we went as well. Good selection of animals to see. Pricing is decent. You'll spend about an hour here. Good thing is it's in the mall, so you have plenty of other things to do while your here. I'd probably go again and get the Lego Land package as well.

It was really fun and you learn a lot about the ocean life

My son loves it here! It's a nice facility and there's a good variety of things to see and do. The cost is a little high for the size though. It's kind of small. Which isn't a bad thing if you're taking a toddler who wants to run around. It's easy to keep track of them but at the same time you can walk through the whole aquarium in about 30 minutes and the price is a little high for that amount of time.
This is a great place to visit during the hot Dallas Summer. Check online for a groupon first!

Quite underwhelmed with this small aquarium. We were visiting from Utah and have a MUCH better one in our landlocked state for the same price. Felt like we wasted our money. As soon as we arrived and saw that it was in the mall we were a bit concerned. We soon found our judgements confirmed. We walked through the whole exhibit in under 30 minutes. Feels like the same thing over and over. Wouldn t recommend.

It was great!! My mom really had a good time. I wished that everything would be opened. Hopefully soon!

This place is great! We can't wait to try its other locations around the world as well. All staff were super nice and informative. We spent 3 hours there.

Kids love it. Personally not a fan of aquariums, this one considering being in a mall was pretty nice and kid friendly. Would return if shopping here or going to LegoLand, but wouldnt make a special trip for Sealife. Color (light) changing Jellyfish are always satisfying

Its not as large as a typical aquarium, but it was nice, and close to home.

It's great but there's A LOT on Fridays I it my favorite is the shark walk!!

Lots of aquatic life to see
Intersting information
Freindly staff
Great exhibits
Awesome sea turtle rescue

Best aquarium I've been to. Set up great for the kids good flow throughout.

Great place for adults and children! Great staff and everything is reasonably priced

Great place for kids. Hopefully when you go parents will watch their kids and not let them run loose. Also, the inside bungee booth inside by Sea Life was a hit for the kids.

Excellent! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the little treasure hunt that they had for kids was very enjoyable and the kids loved it! Will visit again!

The aquarium was nice for the most part but if you re trying to avoid covid 19 it is a terrible place to be. They let people in without masks and it was to many people to social distance. Not enough hand sanitizer stations. Other than that the aquarium was fine. Might return after the pandemic.

My wife and I took our 2 and 3 year old grandkids and they had a blast!

An aquarium at the mall?! It's fantastic - bring your fancy camera, your kids will love it here. Grandparents, this is where you want to take them! They have "tank domes" where your kids can "pop up" and be in a picture surrounded by the fish!

Kids loved it, from the five year old to the seventeen year old! Good way to spend an hour.

Enjoyed it, seemed a little rushed at times because of covid 19

Had an amazing time. A must do. I highly recommend Sea Life. Very Educational!

Waited in line for 30 min to buy tickets then told we had to wait in the pre purchase line for another hour. None of which is on their website

Nice ambience. Nice food choices. Good service. Good location.

This was a great adventure for our family. It was incredible that it was located inside of the mall.

OMG I had such any amazing time here. The staff was great and the atmosphere was perfect.

Cute. Kinda small but it's in a mall so it works well. Plus after lego land I would not have been able to take too much more.

This is a small aquarium located inside an outlet mall. It's cute inside and provides thorough information on the creatures they display. There isn't a large variety or anything particularly stunning. I enjoyed the theming of the environment and the journey through. If you like aquariums then you'll enjoy taking a short visit here. It isn't very time consuming. It's clean and the staff were friendly.

Great experience. Wonderful facility. The place was very clean, the staff very friendly. The sea life looked very healthy and my son was very excited to visit. It is best to get the Ranger Mission Pack for your child. It's fun for them to interact with others and learn about the sea life. My son's only issue was that he didn't get to feed the fish himself like at Sea Quest. That will be a deal breaker for our next visit. For the price you get a great experience.

Amazing aquarium. Every single animal species are beautiful!!! Love it.

It was as I expected. The shark tunnel /display is very cool. The turtle was swimming around but camera shy. They are teaching children about the habitats and encourage them to help save the eco-friendly system

Average at best the pictures online make it look better than it actually is. Even my kids where bored

We loved it! I took my 7 month old, we spent two hours just looking at all the great things to see.

Located in a mall which was a bit of a surprise but this place did not disappoint!! We thoroughly enjoyed it. It seems to be designed more for the younger kids (lots of learning stations) but my 2 had fun and one was 20 years old!

It is much cheaper to buy the tickets online. Kids liked it especially the 2 year old.

A bit pricey but very cool place and great friendly staff.. except the lady at the gift shop, she was a sour patch

Fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy especially during winter

What can you expect, it is in the mall. That being said, I enjoyed our visit.

There are no words to describe how much fun was had here, by me and my family!!!!! This is defiantly a place to take the kids too, especially if they love to learn!!!

Neat fun learning experience for young and old about living things and fish in the sea

My son and I went to sea life. We both enjoyed it. Very beautiful marine life, the animals housing looked nice and plenty of room for them to swim and enjoy life. Being up close to the sharks when you walk through their tank is awesome. I would highly recommend Sea Life. Oh and my son loved playing dr on the turtles and sending them back out to sea lol

Not much to do as compared to its price. You need about an hour. Nothing too exciting

Really fun place to take the family tons of fish and activities for the kids and parents

It's always nice to see some sea animals my son enjoys it

Had fun with my family there, overall great and no problems and was actually very busy!!!!

Loved the whole experience. I was thinking it would be a short tour. It wasn't. Every time I thought we were coming to the end, the path was extended to a whole other room with more and different species. The sharks and rays were my favorite but also enjoyed the clownfish and other fish. Also, I'd always wanted to see a seahorse and now I have. What a fascinating species. Didn't see a whole lot of crab and lobster but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. My favorite part of the self-guided tour was the tunnel room, where you could see fish swim from one side, OVER YOUR HEAD to the other side. We went on a Tuesday around from about 1:30-2:30 so it wasn't crowded at all and we were able to take our time and enjoy everything. The rate for an adult ticket of $15 (purchased online) was very reasonable and I plan to go again, and maybe even AGAIN! I believe this was the spot of the mall where my beloved Gameworks used to be. Let's just say I don't miss GW so much anymore. :D

Overcrowded and overpriced...just like everything else in Grapevine. I was not a fan.

The Sea Life Aquarium is located inside the grapevine mills mall but don't let that fool you. The Aquarium to big and worth the admission. They have everything from tiny fish to big sharks and rescue sea turtles. I was worried that it would be geared too much to the little guys but my teen and preteen had a great time too and really enjoyed it as did I and grandpa! The aquarium is set up really well with an interactive turtle saving activity and a walk through glass tube where you can see the sharks and large stingrays swim all around.

My kids love this place. There are lots of fish and stuff for them to see. It is not as big as the Dallas World Aquarium and it is a little pricey but probably because they are in the mall and have high rent and it costs a bit to take care of all the creatures they have. There are usually some discounts online to lower the costs and occasionally some place will have coupons for here too. Anyway, like I said, my kids love this place so I don't mind spending the few extra bucks to take them here on occasion.

I liked the place very much. Kids friendly and nice arrangements. It's indoor so happy place for summer without sweeting .

Great price. Beautiful place and sea creatures. Very informative experience. People of all ages would enjoy this. I love the fact that this place is super clean and they think of those with disabilities. It has ramps and elevators. Great place to spend the day.

Amazing place! My 2 years old daughter was excited and running from one end to the other. It was our first visit

Being an entertainment based venue, the team here totally missed the mark. I can honestly say I don't think we met one friendly person outside of the team member directing folks at the ticket line. It was crowded, which is to be expected, but the ventilation was inadequate and the smells that accompanied near unbareable. All in all, a novel idea but extremely poor execution.
