Staff was very nice. This is a great place to spend an afternoon with your toddler. We got to feed the stingrays, a tortoise, and the parakeets. Don't expect too much. It's not very big.

You can pretty much touch and interact all animals. Get the admission tickets through Groupon. There is a $5 off 10 tokens when you check in Yelp. The facility is well maintained with great staff.

Do yourself a favor and bring a small hand towel with you. There are lots of areas you can stick your hand in and touch things but you will end up with a dripping wet hand the whole time!

We had a blast! Fantastic place to take young kids. Small space but big enough with plenty of animals to be fun, but nothing too large that it’s a huge commitment. Saw everything within 1.5hrs.

If you are of the belief that political correctness has gotten out of control in America then you will love the Austin Aquarium. Otherwise, it's pretty appalling. It's an interesting place for sure.

Pretty sorry excuse for an "aquarium". Take the four hour trip to Dallas to see what a real aquarium looks like. I can't imagine anyone would find this enjoyable or worth the $15 ticket price.

$6 Skate Nights in June!Skate with us on Friday nights in June for one low price. $6 covers admission and your choice of quads or inlines. Come Join The Fun at Austin Sports Arena

Its worth the price, buy online for a cheaper rate. We had a lovely time feeding the birds & sharks.

It was great for small kids. My only complaint was the lack of sanitizer or hand soap to clean your hands with after touching the animals.

Kids ages 1 - 100 love it here. My 3 and 5 year olds had a great time today. Andale did grandma and I ;)

This place is cool if your from Austin. But being from Corpus and having access to the Texas State Aquarium, made this place very dull. At 20 dollars per person I say pass.

Great place for fun with kids. You can feed animals there

Decent for the size. They need better lighting. Very gloomy for an aquarium. It gets a bit warm and claustrophobic towards the back of the building, especially in the play area.

Not much to like here. Aside from being small, it seems like not great conditions for the animals and no educational content whatsoever. An aquarium in a strip mall tells you all you need to know.

HAD THE BEST TIME HERE ITS LIKE A FISH PETTING ZOO!😍 WISH I COULD GO BACK!😘

Save yourself some money and go walk through PetsMart. There is more to see there. Aquarium in a strip should have been my first warning

Still going through growing pains, but great experience and awesome staff!

Great staff, morning rounds are amazing

Poorly kept facilities, and lackluster exhibits. If it is crowded, expect the sea life to be as anxious as the hundreds of kids running every which way.

Buy tickets online before you get there.
Kelsey JonesFebruary 15, 2014
Never coming back! Unsanitary, uninformative signs and employees and poor tanks for the animals! Short walk through and overpriced!
Rob HibbardDecember 27, 2013
Pretty disappointed on my first visit. Lack of real exhibits. I could have seen more on a trip to Petco.
Rhonda ReidFebruary 3, 2014
Check out the rays and the lorikeets.

Not worth the entry fee.

Horrible - stay far away.
