Benjamin MorganMarch 10, 2010One of my favorite places to be touristy in my home city! There's always something to engage my curiosity.

Jeff SiskOctober 19, 2011Rude workers. Stinks compared to a few years ago. Make sure to get the premium pass or you have to pay extra for every fish you see!
Jeremy MarquezDecember 29, 2010If you're here visiting, buy a city-pass to save money AND time - you get to pass the ridiculous lines!
Allen ArchibaldJune 25, 2012It's TOO hot inside! Too parents that don't make their children behave. The staff is TOO controlling of their guests!
Tracy HitchinsJuly 18, 2010If you are an educator bring your teacher ID card...teachers get in free!
Liss DickersonJuly 20, 2011Don't bother with the aquatic show...go see the dolphin show at the Brookfield Zoo instead
Tracy CrystalMarch 3, 2010Amazing Aquarium. I love how the tanks are organized by places of the world.
AliciaDecember 28, 2011Don't bother buying your ticket ahead of time the will call line is just as long as the regular line...fail
Brian SearlOctober 25, 2010Don't miss the Beluga Whales and "Granddad" who has been here since 1933.
Joshua HernandezJuly 4, 2010I have a saltwater tank but this place might have a leg up on mine :) Baby beluga whale, Mickey, is cute.
