We recently took our 2 year old for her birthday! She had a blast. Be sure to get there before opening as lines start early. We had our tickets, which allows you to bypass will call & ticket purchasing lines- plus it's cheaper than buying there! Its pretty crowded, even in the early hours but its not too bad. The tunnel is very cool, especially if the sharks are awake!

This isn't the largest aquarium (but way bigger than I expected for one in a mall!) My family and I spent about an hour and a half there and we all enjoyed our time. It's nice that they focus on conservation and I think we all learned something. The jellyfish room was my favorite but the tunnel is the most impressive thing. Buying tickets online is the way to go, it saved money and time!

I hadn t been here in years and I was glad that the underwater tunnel had the moving sidewalk taken out so you could stop and watch fish or follow them around. The aquariums were clean and the animals looked well. Without my MOA employee discount I would say that it s over-priced.

Pretty neat aquarium! For all that you get, it's really not a bad price. I went on the VIP experience and had an amazing time. Staff were happy to answer any questions you had and were very attentive. Animals have top notch care and are adorable.

Very neat place, family enjoyed it. Buy tickets online for a discount or they are expensive. Do not pay to feed the stingrays. A "cup" of food is 1 shrimp and 1 minnow for like 5 dollars. I would have purchased a souvenir for my daughter from there gift shop if I didnt feel like I got ripped off from feeding the stingrays.

Very cool place to visit. My 7 year old loved it and so did I. I recommend buying the sea life ticket concomitant with the Fly Over America (FOA) tickets to save $19. Because if you just buy FOA tickets alone, they're $29 each. But if you buy with Under Water SeaLife then they're only $10 a peace. Research FlatEarth & Kangen_Water_Panacea on instag ram & CuongUnlimited on YouTube.

I've been here a dozen times the last 18 years. Not a lot of changes through the years. It's ok. The glass tunnel/sharks is always amazing, but the rest of the exhibits are Mediocre. Not worth the money for me anymore.

Decent experience here. Really thought that there would have been more colorful fish and be more fun for our little one. You get through the whole thing so quickly. It s a cool thing to check out, but probably just a one time trip.

Very fun experience for kids. Would reccomend going during the week so you can actually enjoy your time and not be crowded or rushed. It is a little expensive for what it is, but they usually offer deals with the rides that makes it a little better.

Sea Life was a lot of fun. With Covid still around it's by reservation only. Masks are required. There are markers on the floor to help make sure that you and anyone around you keep your distance. Felt very safe.

Its a very nice change and completely separate from the rest of the mall. There are a number of helpful guides who talk about different fish and creatures and one can feed the rays towards the end. The one downside is that there are not enough signs of what fish to look for esp. the native freshwater kind.

Great experience still, they have made areas in which your group can walk.(although they should probably be enforced better)

Overall the experience was still very much the same as when it was before covid even the touch pool still exist you just have to wear a mask the whole time you're there. Which is perfect.

Overall it's really fun and a great adventure for all ages that's a great time to go and see sea animals and fish that I've never seen before all in a in closed tube that I get to see over my whole head. Would recommend at least once!

While it can be busy, it is a wonderful place for kids to get up close with their underwater friends! We had my daughters birthday there this year and things went smoothly and the employees were VERY accommodating! The kids got to touch fun sea creatures and see the behind the scenes tanks. Wonderful photo opportunities around every corner as it is laid out very nicely.

At $24 for an entrance fee, I was hoping this place would blow my mind. And it did! One of the first stops is a Stingray petting tank, where a very freindly staff member gave us some gratis shrimp to feed the stingrays. This part was my favorite experience. The rays seemed to love the petting and attention! The shark tunnel was awe inspiring, you won't want to leave. The rest of the aquarium is just as amazing. I know the price might seem like a lot, but it is SO worth it. Way more fulfilling than buying a bunch of crap from the shops in the mall.

This place is awesome. I have been coming here since I was a child. I have lots of memories here. As of today I recently brought my own children. There is lots to do around the area and even after being done here.

It's smaller than other national aquariums but what it has to offer, it is there for you to see. No looking for it or having to come back later. Gives you an up close and personal experience that's very much enjoyable

They remodeled it and I am so dissappointed. It used to br super fun, there was dinosaur fish and a playground. They took that all away, I didnt even get an option to get my picture taken with the cool background. Such a waste of money for little experience. It used to be worth it...
