Reviews
The Birch aquarium had very cool and exotic creatures. I enjoyed looking at all of them although there are very few. It took me about 20 minutes to get through the whole entire building. And I have a whole hour there. I enjoyed the descriptions in the vivid colors of the animals though. Staff was very helpful and nice

Everything about Birch Aquarium is great. There are enough things for kids to do, but not so much that you're overwhelmed. The fish always seem to be putting on a show when we walk through and the venue is small enough to do in a couple of hours. The people that work here are knowledgeable and helpful.

Love this place. Just renewed our membership because it's a great value. Enough to see to linger a bit, but size allows for a quicker visit as well. Similar for the exhibits as well... enough changes to always make it interesting but the kiddos like to "visit the octopus and sea turtle."

Nice. Very interesting for the kids. Staff is very friendly. Cool place to get out of the heat. Enjoyed all the fish on display. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Very nice ocean aquarium, they seem to specialize in seahorses. Lots to see and read, even some hands on stuff for younger kids. There's one carbon dioxide exhibit where they lay it on pretty thick, but other than that it feels politically neutral.
