Immer RFebruary 8, 2015Staff 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.
Karen PhillipsDecember 27, 2013Do 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!
Ashok GunasekaranDecember 27, 2019You 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.
MatthewSeptember 29, 2019We 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.
Jon ShecketMarch 1, 2015If 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.
PaoFebruary 18, 2017Its worth the price, buy online for a cheaper rate. We had a lovely time feeding the birds & sharks.
Auto Service ExpertsJune 6, 2015$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
Sara KaminskyJanuary 19, 2016Kids ages 1 - 100 love it here. My 3 and 5 year olds had a great time today. Andale did grandma and I ;)
Christine NewmanFebruary 5, 2014Decent 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.
Blaine MilnerJune 18, 2018It 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.
Maddy TofanelliMarch 6, 2014Pretty 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.
Doug BauderJuly 17, 2016Not 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.
Israel Davila Jr.April 25, 2014This 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.
Tim HaydenJanuary 11, 2014Poorly 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.- Chris KauffmanDecember 30, 2013Save yourself some money and go walk through PetsMart. There is more to see there. Aquarium in a strip should have been my first warning
Kelsey JonesFebruary 15, 2014Never coming back! Unsanitary, uninformative signs and employees and poor tanks for the animals! Short walk through and overpriced!
- Azusena OrdonezJuly 19, 2015HAD THE BEST TIME HERE ITS LIKE A FISH PETTING ZOO!😍 WISH I COULD GO BACK!😘
Rob HibbardDecember 27, 2013Pretty disappointed on my first visit. Lack of real exhibits. I could have seen more on a trip to Petco.
