If you buy tickets online, you can do a behind the scenes tour for about $5/person. Well worth it. You see any animals not in tanks and also can more easily see where the turtles and sharks hang out.

SEA LIFE is the perfect break from all of that shopping. Come closer to more than 10,000 sea creatures, including sharks, sea turtles, rays, jellyfish, seahorses and much more! Read more

Do take the "Behind the Scenes" tour. You'll get to see the aquarium from the top and feed the fish. Sharks feeding is on Tues, Thurs and Sun.

They have a walkway where you are surrounded by water and fish on 3 sides where sharks swim overhead! This is definitely a favorite activity for kids!

Half price adult tickets online. You don't need to print them out as long as you have the number on from the tickets. You can go as many times during that day as you want :)

Good for a date day. My gf had fun here. Especially when it is cold outside this is a nice alternative to bars and clubs.
YusAugust 12, 2014
Highly recommend the behind the scenes tour including breathtaking views of from above the tanks.

Try to go when the tour is going to start, the place clears out quickly. Gift shop prices are unbelievable.

Great for a trip visit, but the cost vs. brief experience won't bring us back.

Take lots of pictures & feed the stingrays! Definitely worth it.
Andy ZetzmanJune 19, 2012
Lots of fish to see, but $20 for an adult is beyond excessive. Not to mention that my hallways at home are wider than they are here.
Josh KJune 24, 2012
Behind the scenes tour is well worth the extra $7. Look for discount admission coupons near the north entrance to the mall.
Matilda ElfvinMarch 18, 2015
Something for everybody, young and old. Pretty expensive but worth it

You can go through as many times as you want! We average 3 times! We have a family pass and got our moneys worth!
Jessica BaileyDecember 20, 2012
So expensive....but fun. I would buy tickets online first or find coupons through the Mall
PezJuly 27, 2013
You may pet starfish and crabs and may see a giant lobster. Online, I learned that you can pay to sleep overnight in the aquarium with the sharks. Well, admissions seems rather pricey.

feed a stingray! they don't have teeth; it just feels like a weird slurpy vacuum sucking shrimp out of your hand
David SimmonsApril 13, 2013
Pricey, but really great attraction. Great break in shopping.

fascinating sea worms
Jennifer KoperFebruary 25, 2012
The annual membership is worth it if u go twice a year or more.
J ValenciaDecember 7, 2013
Very overpriced - even with coupon. Might be worth seeing if you've never been to an aquarium or if the price was discounted at least 50%, otherwise skip it.
Madeline StevensJuly 22, 2016
You can pet and feed the sting rays

Pricy for what you get. Don't go during the weekend or during a school break. Find coupons!
Nikki MooreOctober 22, 2012
