Erik RowleyDecember 19, 2017A delightful journey into the culture and nature of America’s largest river system. Walk aboard historic steamboats, interact with wildlife (stingray petting), learn about river history & folklore.
Amanda DolterAugust 11, 2011There's a National Landmark Vessel in the harbor of the Boatyard Plaza, the William M. Black... whether it's history, boats or both you're interested in, you'll find it here at the Museum & Aquarium!- Jim MadsenJuly 22, 2013This museum continues to grow and add more exhibits all the time...so much more to see than the last time we were here - you almost run out of time to see it all. Definitely worth the admission cost!
My kids can't get enough of this place. Every time we visit we see something new.
Allen C.December 3, 2014Fun place for any ages. All kinds of animals and a rotating exhibit upstairs.
Judah RichardsonJuly 23, 2014Parking is free, so this is a great place to drop your car off if you're in the Dubuque for a day trip.
Dana TedescoJuly 15, 2013It's feeding time at the Water Snake Cage (across from the Beavers in the Flooded Forest) at 330pm. FREE LIVE Entertainment!!!
Takes a good two hours to see the entire museum. Great family experience!
Kevin RyanJune 8, 2012A must do: Catfish Charlie's in Dubuque. You should check out the gator nuggets. To die for ..
Deb HAugust 2, 2014Very disappointing. Guide looked at me like I was crazy when I stopped her description of all of the aquarium attractions to ask about historical information about the river.- Amanda DolterJuly 26, 2011The fabulous Gift Shop is having a "Sizzling Sidewalk Sale" tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, June 27-29.
