While this is an all age space I think the younger kiddos will like it more (3-7 would probably be the sweet spot there). Very intimate setting. They used to have a playground for the younger kids but they are re-doing that area. My 2 year old remembered it and was sad they didn't have it.

Took my niece, her husband and her daughter, my great niece had a wonderful time. Lots to see and even a tank where the kids can touch starfish, horseshoe crabs and other sea life. There is a tunnel the the sealife swims above and around you. They even have a tower that you can hold or let your children climb up into. The gift shop is nice as well.

I really enjoyed Sea Life. When you go make sure to buy your tickets prior to arriving to save 20%. I was a little sticker shocked when I was told my total for my family of three. Money aside it is a great place to take your kids, and it is way better than the Dallas Aquarium. Over all it was a great place to go and hang out for a few hours.

The atmosphere is amazing. The employees are so welcoming. My children ask a load and it is no different for my youngest son. So, on our trip he asked a million questions and they answered them all without hesitation and with complete patience. I will visit this location as often as possible.

This place is definitely geared towards families and children, but as a 30 year old who's fiance took him to see what kinda life I might see while scuba diving: I still had a blast.
The tanks are super well maintained, the staff in the "petting zoo" were fun and friendly, and they have such a diverse collection that you could go a few times and see something you missed every time!

Waste of money for a hole in the mall... It was too crowded. Pay for tickets online to "guarantee" time in and still had to wait over 15 mins while people who didn't pay online was able to just walk in and pay. This is exactly like seaquest in Fort Worth.

Brought my family here for a day out. My twin toddlers loved it. I've never seen them run around so excited before. They even got to touch a star fish at the end. Staff were very friendly. I was surprised to find such an awesome place inside a mall. They have some pretty large tanks. I was very impressed, well worth the money.

The facility was smaller than expected but an enjoyable visit. Potentially a couple of hours to see everything (if you spend time watching and enjoying the animal behaviors). There were several educational stations for potentially younger visitors which we didn't do which could lengthen the time spent. Good variety of aquatic life. Pretty well kept up. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cost perhaps a bit high for amount of time spent (zoo visits would provide more bang for your buck). Look for $5 discount coupons in visitor brochures. While facility is member of zoo association, they are not part of any reciprocal discount agreements. I can recommend based on our experience and taking into consideration above comments.

Highly disappointed, it was way over priced for the experience not enough exists way to small. the Dallas aquarium is much larger and a little cheaper, I spent over 60.00 and it only took us about 45 min to go through the whole aquarium.

I would not pay full price to go here. Took two of my grandsons on toddler Tuesday so for $15, one adult & one toddler under 4 can get in. Toddlers 3 & under are free. Wish the staff would have mentioned that when I initially asked. They didn't so thankfully I looked online real quick & found the real "deal". Many of the hands on experiential things didnt work but being able to touch the star fish was really cool.

Awesome aquarium, especially for kids. It's very clean and lots of fun animals. The staff is super friendly and it's very easily accessible. It's great that they participate in conservation programs and captive breeding programs to reduce the impact on the environment.

I'm in love with this aquarium.

I'm in love with this aquarium.
The kids love it too! I only wish it were bigger!
Purchasing tickets online is cheaper than in person and they have combo tickets for Legoland as well.
Staff are friendly and you get to touch the starfish!
It's located inside of the Grapevine Mall.

The kids had an absolute blast going through this place. They are 5 & 3 and are very inquisitive, they enjoyed learning about the different animals in the ocean and the interactive shark screens were a nice touch as they could go through and learn about each shark. They got to touch some animals as well. Unfortunately some of the experiences are closed, which is understandable given the current health crises. Minus a star because we purchased the Sea Life Ranger Mission Pack and my son was not able to complete the experience to become a Sea Life Ranger. Why sell the packs if you aren't currently providing the Sea Life Ranger experience. At least both my sons got the free gift for completing the free stamp location hunt.

I love this place, when we moved to DFW from Charleston SC I so badly missed it and the ocean, and this was the first place my family and I went it's been two years and we cannot give up our membership, it has a great feel and atmosphere and always reminds me of the ocean (it has that ocean smell) my 4 year old still loves it. All the front dest are amazing Hunter and a sweet girl who helped us yesterday (i didn't get her name but the evening of 1-27-20 (sunday) was so nice! All the people who work there are wonderful and my son knows so much about protecting the ocean, its very educational. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

We went to see the limited time mermaid exhibit. Everyone had a great time. Except one of my kids who decided it was the worst say is good life for some arbitrary reason. That's not really the aquarium's fault though, kids are just weiners some times.

This Is a very small local aquarium. It's very pricey but interesting for it being so small. This group states they have saved many species and the information posted lets your family gain along of information about the species in the display.

This is a hidden gem within Grapevine Mills Mall. It is a full, two-story aquarium full of amazing creatures to see. It is well maintained and has an excellent staff. Great for little ones and adults!!!

Awesome aquarium to take your kids to. I didn't even know this place existed until the day before we went. We went to lego land discovery center right across from sea life and bought a combo ticket for both attractions.

The facility is way too smaller than Dallas world aquarium. It is inside of the grapevine mall. Basically, their collection is fishes, only two small alligators, and one snake. $22.85+ taxes is the per person charge. But, overall it is enjoyable to visit.

The aquarium itself is really cute but it's not worth the price unless you're going alone. You can easily walk through here in about 45 minutes. There are some unique activities for the kids, my daughter was a huge fan of the 'turtle rescue.' There's a station where they have these plastic turtles the kids can rescue and they can go over to a little computer and name them while learning about them as they are 'rescuing and preparing them to go back to the wild.' I don't dislike this place, I just think it's overpriced.

Great for everyone! Inexpensive and lasts about a good 45 minutes. Go at your own pace and really creates the experience that you're in the aquatic world! About 4 parts that were really really mesmerizing.... Overall, great experience for my 6 month old, wife, and myself.
