The aquarium has been absolutely phenomenal. It's nice to have a place locally that you can take the family to. The animals are amazing and I recommend going there if you've never been. But even then, you should still go because it's a great time. Plus, you can have birthday parties there next to the shark tank which adds a special factor for a more memorable experience.

Shark tank is awesome. Diversity in exhibits is awesome. The whole place is unique and full of character. Employees are well knowledgeable and eager to share. My son had the time of his life, and I did too ?

Excellent little aquarium and zoo! Quite a lot of critters on display - a fantastic collection of terrestrial, aquatic, and marine organisms. Everything from fishes, reptiles, amphibians, and birds - something for everyone to see! Admission is $12 for adults, and there are optional things to do for extra fees - such as feeding or holding animals, or swimming with sharks! You could spend 1 to 4 hours in here - check it out!

This place is great if you are a sea lover and everything in between! They have a huge variety of animals from fish to stingrays to lizards and birds! We enjoyed the QR codes on each exhibit we actually learned a ton. The staff was also very informative and kind. It was clean with nice exhibits and the animals looked healthy. Overall it is a smaller aquarium but we still spent over two hours here and for $12/person it was well worth it. We will be returning!That being said, the only reason I couldn’t give a five star rating was because it is clear that staffing here is a struggle. The staff members that were there were great and did exactly what they were supposed to do, but there were simply not enough of them to monitor what was going on in every room. Unfortunately the parents we encountered weren’t monitoring their kids well either. Even if the animals are meant to be interacted with there should definitely be a staff person watching those exhibits to ensure the animals are being interacted with appropriately and that proper precautions regarding hand washing from touch tank to touch tank are being followed. It was kind of a free for all, which is great for responsible people, but when you’re dealing with kids I think it is more harmful to the animals. I’m sure they are working to improve this and I know it takes great resources to manage a place like this but when you’re dealing with living animals this needs to be top priority.

Absolutely loved it!! Had our 11 month with us and she was in awe the entire time ? It was very interactive! She got to touch some fish and sit in the bird cage (with an adult) It was absolutely fun!The prices are also really good. 12 bucks a pop! The baby did get in for free!

We are big fans of Seaquest (we aren’t local and they have one in SLC) and I honestly think this place is better! I came here 4 or 5 years ago and it was not the greatest, a little run down and not a ton of exhibits. It is SO much better now! Tons of animals and fun hands-on exhibits. They add a little sandbox that I had to drag my 3 year old out of. I think we paid about $20 for the two of us, totally worth it. We had a really great time and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Very cool experience. Worth every dime! Make sure to buy some tokens to feed the animals throughout park. My favorites were the iguanas and the porcupine never did I think I would be allowed to pet a porcupine with quills. This guy is awesome !

It's a really nice cool place. The staff is awesome. Very welcoming, will guide you and explain any question about the different species in the aquariums.There is one special place at the aquarium, a small studio of an adorable cute sloth that does canvas paintings. Her caregiver Justene was the sweetest. Has welcomed us with one of the sloth's paintings and explained a lot about the animal, and it looked like she is doing her job with true passion and love.

We visited the aquarium last Sunday 3/12 and had a wonderful time! We had an encounter with the sloth Wookie and a small mammals encounter which was a great experience! The head trainer Alex was AMAZING and so informative. Keep up the great work guys!We will definitely be back!!

The aquarium has a lot of touch tanks & feeding areas with separate tokens you need to buy. You can go into the aviary with parakeets and cockatiels, hand feed a baby sting Ray or many other sizes and species of fish.. even can hand feed some cut veggies huge Iguanas & a big porcupine! The only negatives I'd like to discuss is the "wood" plastic planks walking thru the shark tank. Very uneven and has multiple trip hazards. I watched a few older people and a few young kids trip over planks. Also like to note, the size of the tanks make me sad for the animals. There were too many sharks in a swimming pool size tank & one shark never moved off the floor. The aviary was the only properly sized cage to animals ratio yet it's an aquarium. This place is perfect for kids, it's small we did multiple laps but got bored close to an hour and that was stretching it for us. But, it's cheap admission and kept the kids busy, I'll be visiting again.

We have been to this place a few times. As a date as well as a family outing with our son. The interactive parts are really cool too Be a part of. Feeding the sting rays and the birds are my fav part. Oh and the awesome porcupine at the end of the exhibit.

This place is terrible. The tanks are dirty. The maintenance is horrible. The fixtures are falling apart and the debris is going into some of the habitats where the animals have access to the foreign objects. The floors are unkempt with inside mess from cages. A lot of the land creatures spaces stink of unclean cage. If you are going to spend your money there, you would hope that the animals would have a clean, stink free, well maintained place to exist. Sadly they don't.

Great little place for families! We came the day after Thanksgiving and enjoyed it for over 2 hours. It wasn't very busy which was really nice! If you have inquisitive kids or that explains you as an adult you'll love this place. You get to pet the fish, sting rays, iguanas, feed the birds, etc.

The aquarium was recommended to us from some ladies from our hotel. It did not disappoint, my kids loved every bit of it. It's very interactive with several opportunities for kids and adults. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
