Great place for children. Small but comprehensive variety of aquatic life is featured in the many indoor tanks. Posted information is everywhere and very educational, or you can just sit with your kiddos in front of the tank of your choosing and watch the fish move through the water together. Aviary area can be fun for everyone and you can sit inside the cage to feed the birds with a keeper present. Gets super crowded on weekends, so best to visit during the week.

This place is hidden in a shopping center off of Research blvd. Do not judge a book by its cover. Upon entering, there is the reception desk where you can purchase the tickets to enter the exhibits. The staff was very friendly with warm welcoming smiles. The first animal you see is a bird that is "in training", adorable as heck. There is a very large gift shop with a huge variety of keepsakes and more that is next to the entrance and the exit areas. Everything there is fairly priced and there is a ton of adorable stuff to purchase. The animals exhibits are pretty dang awesome with some educational information along the way. There is a small play area for smaller kids and a decent size snack area where you can purchase tokens to buy food to fed the sting rays, birds, etc... This place is not as large as many aquariums I have visited in the past but it is entertaining none the least and with a friendly staff who excel in Customer Service, I like it and will probably be back. Our toddler grandson had a blast as did my two adult children. Thank you for the great experience!

Friendly staffs and a great place to bring kids. (We don't have kids ourselves but definitely many groups of kids & parents were there) Their stingrays are super cute and always excited about you petting them! Which is super awesome in my opinion. It's definitely not a fancy and modern aquarium compared to the ones in California, but the vibe and chatting with the staffs make up for it :)

Great for toddlers, wasn't too busy so ideal something different to do up north. Few sinks stations to wash hands had no running water, had to keep circling back to functioning one after feeding animals. Wouldn't suggest it as a full blown aquarium, if you are looking for that then visit Texas state aquarium. Some parts of the exhibits do look like they could of used better carpentry skills.

This aquarium company offers a wide array of creatures and habitats to enjoy. They sustainably raise Giant Pacific Octopi to eventually release back to the ocean and have a fabulously fun tank of rays to feed and pet. This place is geared to a variety of age groups and abilities. Lots of fun for the whole family.
