Mississippi Aquarium

Visited Mississippi Aquarium on a cold day so it wasn’t very crowded, which actually made the experience nicer. We took our time walking around and taking pictures, and the staff were super friendly and excited to interact with us. Katt especially stood out. She was extremely kind and welcoming. My favorite part was getting to touch the stingrays. I’ve been here about three times now and still enjoy it every time. It’s also a really cute and relaxed spot for a date.

The aquarium is quite nice especially for how new it is. They have a lot of different animals gators, dolphins, bird enclosure, stingrays and so much more. It is family friendly and has wheel chair access to most if not then all parts. My wife and I highly recommend this aquarium, we have been multiple times now. Parking is also very easy and quite inexpensive, there is a parking garage next to the aquarium and a direct walkway taking you to the entrance. Another good stop in front of the parking garage is Boozers a coffee shop.

Its not a huge aquarium but it was very educational and great your younger children. We took my grandson who is 3, he absolutely loved it. Touching the stingrays was a forever memory.

We had a great time. It's a lot bigger than it seems from the road. All the areas where well set up. I would highly recommend it for kids. Buy tickets 24 hrs in advance for discount tickets.

Very friendly staff. Eager to talk to you and explain about the animals. They do military discount for 10%. Veterans are free for Veterans Day. (The whole weekend leading to Veterans Day was free for veterans.) Wheelchair accessible. It has indoor and outdoor exhibits, so a nice chance to warm up since it was cold outside. Parking garage at CTA, so plenty of parking. Would go again!

I've been here twice, and both times have had a wonderful time. My husband and I had the pleasure to meet Maureen both times and she is such a fountain of knowledge and passion, it's hard not to match her love of nature as she teaches you about whatever station she is at. I left both times having learned something new about the dolphins as well as the birds in the Aviary (including the gorgeous ducks Marshmallow, Dolly Parton, and Stevie Nicks) It's one of the smaller aquariums I've been to, but is well worth the visit each time. My family and I will be back, possibly monthly.

Mississippi Aquarium – Gulfport, MS The aquarium is on the smaller side, but I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is, especially for a small town. Admission was $70 for the two of us, but we didn’t mind paying since we knew it helps support the aquarium. (Tip: tickets are a little cheaper if you buy them online at least 24 hours in advance.) It was just my boyfriend and me, and it took us about two hours to walk through and see everything at a relaxed pace. They also have a dolphin show, which we sat down to watch, it was fun and definitely worth catching. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

What a great aquarium! They have a great variety of local and global species in all kinds of different habitats. You can tell all of the animals are very well cared for. You really feel like you're visiting their world rather than us putting them on display in ours. They have lots of "normal" indoor aquarium exhibits, including a touch tank, large ocean tank with a walk-through tunnel and massive floor to ceiling window, and a host of smaller tanks with fish from all over. Favorites from our group included the sharks, octopus, and sea horses! They also have several outdoor exhibits as well. There is a river otter area, beavers, an alligator, and a large tank set up to showcase multiple local freshwater species. They have an aviary for birds, and a good size dolphin tank too. They have occasional "keeper talks" and other experiences throughout the day, so it's worth checking the schedule online. You can also save a few dollars by buying tickets online in advance. Overall, we had a great time with our family of all ages, we would definitely come back!

I just think the price isn't worth it. The main building you walk through is fine but it feels almost incomplete. The aviary is incredibly small, with the walkway being the size of a longer driveway. The portion with the amphibians gives off pet store vibes. We spent an hour going through everything, despite our children slowing us down quite a lot. I couldn't imagine how short the trip would have been without them. The only thing that makes it avoid a 1 star is the entire place is very clean and the staff is very kind/professional.

Such a cute aquarium! It's not as huge as SeaWorld but still just as beautiful. Big variety of animals and the aquarium is amazing! Check out the pictures. Parking is on the street or in the city parking garage. Garage parking is free with membership!

I sincerely enjoyed our visit to the Mississippi Aquarium! I love aquariums and have been to many - I felt the Mississippi Aquarium was in my top 5 just because it's such a relaxing, enjoyable experience. For a smaller aquarium, they have a nice variety of aquatic life. The exhibits are spread out between several buildings and an outdoor area, which means you can explore without large crowds. Every exhibit was well-kept and it appears they are still continuing to grow and expand the exhibits available. Most fun, many of the tanks were decorated for the holidays! While it's a little pricey, I easily spent 3.5 hours browsing the exhibits and could've spent a little more just watching the big tanks indoors. Worth a stop if you're in the area and need something to do for an afternoon!

We went here on the way to Florida for our vacation. This was such a cute aquarium! There are different experiences that I think are worth it. We met a sweet penguin named William, so worth the experience! My son loved meeting him. The staff were so kind and easy to talk to if we had questions. I would suggest bringing a fan for the little ones and folks who don't handle heat well, or going during a time when it's cooler outside. There are two buildings you can go inside and the rest to see is outside. The food is decent. I wish there were a few misting fans around to help cool off, but I'm not sure how it works with the animals. Overall, highly recommend!

This is a small aquarium but it's worth every penny. Others are saying it's over priced. It was $120 for 4. So $30 a person is definitely worth it. I've been to many aquariums and I loved this one! Very well maintained, clean bathrooms, good priced encounters where other places charge a fortune. I would love to come back! 5 stars all the way around!

This aquarium is small however it is beautiful and well kept! It offers enough visuals and interactive exhibits for small kids. My sister and I took our youngest nieces ages 7 & 6. They had a blast! Definitely check it out.

While I enjoyed visiting this aquarium, I felt that it was a little steep for what we experienced. For a family of 4 (5 really) - two adults and two children - it was around $120 (we also brought our two year old but we didn't pay for them). When you enter you'll see some beavers on the right, and alligators on the left. Entering the building you immediately go up two floors by escalator. They do have elevators for those who need it! I loved that the first indoor exhibit you see is an interactive touch pool. The first half has quite a few critters, but the star of the show there were the little shrimps. My kids loved it and laughed the whole time the shrimp crawled on their fingers. The second half are sting rays, sharks, and horseshoe crabs. My kids can pet sting rays at our aquarium back home, but they were living for the sharks here. They seem to do a lot of touch-breaks for the animals in the touch pools, and if you enter the exhibit while they're on a break, it may take up to about 15 minutes until you could try again. As you keep going you'll encounter a 360° walk through tunnel. The rest of the aquarium was all one exhibit, just at various spots as you continued around. As you keep going, on the other side of the massive tank, we did see a green moray eel, a zebra shark and a massive grouper. When you get closer to the end, you're at a giant view of the tank and they even have bean bag chairs on the ground for the kiddos to really relax and look at the fish. When you leave the building, you can continue walking and see their otters, dolphins and aviary. My kids got to see a dolphin up close and they were incredibly excited. They mentioned you could add on an experience of petting dolphins, but we chose the other option of petting a penguin as they don't have enough seats for our family for the dolphin experience. Since we had our two year old, we couldn't all do the penguin interaction as the youngest they allow is 5, but my husband took my older two and they loved it. They don't have an actual penguin habitat built yet but we were told it would potentially be ready in 1 to 1.5 years. Overall it's a nice aquarium, but I felt it was lacking compared to other aquariums we frequent. Maybe once the penguin habitat is finished it'll really draw in more folks.

Very nice Aquarium. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of activities for both adults and children.

Family vacation day at the Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport MS! We haven't been here before as they just opened about 3 years ago. It's a beautiful new complex, with a touch tank containing sting rays, hermit crabs, and a few other animals, a large tank with sharks, a sea turtle, and a walk through tunnel, beavers, eels, and even some dolphins! The aquarium is mostly inside, with some outside exhibits. If you have littles, be aware that the touch tank unfortunately doesn't have any elevated platforms for them to stand on like other aquariums. There also were no handwashing stations, just paper towel dispensers...luckily we had some hand sanitizer with us. Overall it is easily walkable, good paths for strollers and wheelchairs, elevator near the escalator, and convenient bathroom placements. The kid big win for this place: there is a small coloring area towards the end. The kids can color a picture and place it on the scanner, where it will come to life on the video screen! Very cool (I may have done one myself) Nursing moms: there is a lactation space in the family bathroom outside the gift shop! And although I am saying it's "in the family bathroom", it really isn't. There is a separate door between the bathroom area and the beautiful and CLEAN lactation space.

We took my grandmother after her assisted living had canceled plans due to a bus issue. We had already bought the tickets and didn't want to waste our money because of no refunds. When we got there, we had to park in the parking garage. My dad and grandmother both (she uses a walker and my disabled father has to walk with Canadian crutches) struggled to get up the hill from the parking garage. Once we got in, we got her a wheel chair but there wasn't many for rent at the time. Inside the building, the floors are downhill and slick- my dad struggled and felt like he may slip and fall. He wasn't the only One with this comment, as others there were talking about how it felt like they were walking on wet slippery flooring. The touch tank was nice- our favorite part was the dolphins. I probably won't visit again for the reasons above, but if that's not an issue to you, you'd probably have fun. ***edited to add- they do have a trolley every 15 minutes but it still is a walk to get to the gate. The lady upfront was giggling when we asked if there was a more accessible way to get to the entrance and just said the trolley but you still have to go up the hill a little ( only asked because my grandmothers assisted living is still going to make the trip at a later date). The employees were nice, the place was clean. If you park in the parking garage for longer than I think two hours, it's $11. A little pricey but I didn't mind

It's pretty small. It doesn't take much time to go through the whole aquarium and there's not a big variety of animals. It is nice, but the price compared to some bigger aquariums we've been to made it feel not worth the money.

We enjoyed our visit it's no Georgia Aquarium, but it was nice break from the heat for about 90 minutes

There's so many animals to see. Indoors and outdoor. You can even pet the dolphins for $30 More. We didn't have an appointment so we had to pass. It's a nice place to go to beat the heat as well.

Very pretty fish and birds very nice staff really recommend the area is nice the stingray pets are cool and they have beautiful dolphins my favorite type of animal

My family thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We took our 18 month twin boys and they loved watching and touching the fish. It was a nice mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits since it was brutally hot on our visit.

It's brand new and very pretty, but rather smallish compared to other aquariums. For a toddler it would be the perfect size. We saw everything in an hour and a half. It was $120 for four people. They're still working on building it up. We were told that there may be penguins next year, which would be fun. It's also half indoors and half outdoors, which in the summer is so very hot. So we may have stayed longer if we weren't melting.

Small and overpriced. Love visiting aquariums wherever I travel and had seen that this was worth a visit. So to break up our drive home from east coast to Texas we decided to stop. For what you got to see it was way overpriced. Can't understand how families can justify the expense. Spend your money somewhere else.

The day after Thanksgiving while our wives was out shopping the guys decided to take the kids out to the aquarium for everyones first time. Now this was a place that I really enjoyed as there was an outdoor portion and an indoor. Without having to name every animal we saw we did see a great deal of wildlife including alligators, dolphins, parrots and even an albino shark. The children really enjoyed themselves and I did also. The staff was really professional and all around super nice and helpful and I personally could've made a second round through the venue but would definitely recommend this place for locals and visitors in town.

Very nice aquarium for being pretty small. They definitely made the most out of the area that they have. Friendly and very informative staff, makes this an even better place to visit.

Have you ever looked so forward to something and hyped it up in your head then it just...fell kinda flat? I know I have and this is one of those times. Like I really hurt my own damn feelings about this place. The Mississippi Aquarium is mostly outside. When I think of aquariums I think of a cool, dark, escape the summer heat and sun indoor space. That's not the case here, so if you're looking to escape the sun know that only a few exhibits are indoors. Speaking of indoors, there's really only one large aquarium (it is two, maybe three?) stories tall, but damn it's just not at all what I expected. The touch pool is large but honestly not large enough because getting a spot to try and touch the stingrays was impossible. It just didn't happen for us because there were so many people who would not move, despite having stood there for what seemed like eternity. You have to walk thru the overpriced restaurant to get to some of the outdoor exhibits which I get, they are trying to get you to buy food...but come on. They have a paid parking garage but you're better off finding a spot around the downtown area (free on weekends) and walking a bit further to save some cash. Lord knows the tickets are already expensive enough. Honestly the best aquarium in the area is only a bit of a drive, so if you're looking for a cool, dark indoor one that's worth every penny, go to New Orleans instead.

My aunt & I went to the Mississippi Aquarium in 2023 for my birthday. We had such a fun time!

While it does not possess the greatest number of marine animals nor is it among the largest aquariums I've visited, there is plenty to see, the layout is excellent and the staff is top notch. Absolutely recommend if you're in Gulfport!

I love aquariums and always get excited when I get to visit a new one. I thought it was so neat to have this one sit right near the ocean! We were spending a day in the Gulfport/Biloxi area, so doing some fun tourist things was on our list. First off, this is a nice aquarium. Apparently it is new, and I can tell... it's really nice. But, being new it has about 20 minutes worth of sights to see. And for that 20 minutes, you have to pay $30.... which is insane to me. After buying our ticket, going through the exhibits, we walked out of the building at the end and thought, 'that's it?' Plus, if you park in their garage, that'll add another bit of bucks onto it. (There was a lot of street parking, thankfully.) For what they have right now, it is really nice. Some of the exhibits are outside, too, which is refreshing. What I really, really loved was getting to see dolphins! This was probably my first time ever seeing some in an aquarium, and it was a really cool experience. If you're okay with paying the large price and are aware of the small amount of things to do, then I'd suggest to go for it. But I'm hoping that in the future they will add more to the aquarium to make the price actually worth it.

Ten of us drove 3 hours to the Aquarium, eight of us were ages 6-23, plus my daughter and myself - admission was $264.00 and it only took us an hour to see everything inside and outside, disappointing. It's a small aquarium so be prepared. I loved the exhibits they did have and did an outstanding job on the exhibits they did have. The air-conditioned building felt brand new with an escalator and pathways leading you around plus the kids liked touching the stingrays. We all enjoyed watching the dolphins swim in their pool outside. The displays were beautifully designed, providing visitors with an up-close and personal view of each species. However, .... having been to Sea World (San Diego and Orlando) and aquariums, perhaps I was expecting more. The bird aviary was small, we walked through in a minute (perhaps I'm used to the San Diego Zoo aviaries which are quite large). I understand a penguin exhibit is coming soon and hopefully more exhibits as well. In summary, residents appreciate an aquarium in Mississippi but be aware that it is a smaller aquarium and the admission price is high for the amount of time you spend there.

This is a wonderful Aquarium right off the beach! Huge, easy to find parking garage, delightful entrance staffed by exceptionally hospitable people that made us feel very welcomed in these COVID days! On the way in, I really thought the green crocs weren't real. Finally one moved and so did I. :) The next big exhibit was a multi layered pond of native freshwater fish and a handful of turtles. I could have grabbed a chair, a beer and watched for hours! Inside were some wonderful exhibits with a pond where you could touch some saltwater fish and rays as they swam past. And no, I wasn't one of the swimming Rays being touched. Besides me, don't touch the porcupine fish! The dolphin exhibit was fun to watch those speed demons zip about. This is a well done museum and perfect attraction for this area! Price was well worth it!

We come from Chicago which has one of the best aquariums. I might argue that my family liked this aquarium better. Every vacation we go on we stop at an aquarium and this one might be my favorite of all time. It is very clean, the staff is friendly and we had plenty of space to move about.

The Mississippi Aquarium is the newest family attraction on the Gulf Coast. It's located in Gulfport, MS. on Beach Blvd across from Jones Park. Parking is easy due the covered parking lot attached to the aquarium, and there is a fee for parking. Tickets for admission can be purchased in advance online or in person at the entrance. About 60% of this aquarium is outside, so you may want to factor the weather forecast into your visit. There is a cafe located onsite for eats, snacks, or drinks. During our visit we had a Pops Brothers (local vendor) Oreo cheesecake popsicle for $6. It was very good! This aquarium showcases all local wildlife varieties such as alligators, a bird sanctuary, dolphins, otters, and a variety of fish/sharks. These are located on the outside section. The indoor section has you taking and elevator or escalators to the third floor and working your way down back to the bottom floor. You will start off with an interactive touch pad filled with stingrays, sharks, shrimp, hermit crabs, and a variety of fish. The rest of the indoor area is viewing tanks with different fish and turtles. There are biologists and volunteers located at each area ready to assist or answer any questions you may have. The aquarium does have penguins but we were told they were seasonal. I am unsure when they will return. If you have never been to an aquarium before this new but small aquarium would suffice. But considering the cost of $30 per adult plus parking fees, the cost is a little steep compared to the same cost per person New Orleans Aquarium which is an hour drive away. This Aquarium does a great job educating the public on animal conservation. The staff truly love their job and shows, they were very eager to answer questions. At the exit of the Aquarium, you have to walk through the gift shop. In here, they offer stuffed animals, clothing, art decor, etc.... I truly enjoyed my visit, it took my wife and I about 1.5 hours to see it all and were not rushing through it. We inquired about an encounter with the dolphins which hopefully will be offered in the future. I keep thinking to myself while I was walking around baaaaby shark do do do do.... moooommy shark do do do, LOL. Enjoy.

This aquarium was extremely disappointing. While some of the exhibits are neat (the Finding Nemo fish and being able to touch the stingrays for example), it was hard to enjoy with the crowds. The long touch breaks also cause a lot of congestion. We were either standing shoulder to shoulder or waiting in a long line just to get a quick look before you get shoved along. I suppose kids like it, but I wouldn't recommend if you're an adult thinking about going by yourself. It's noisy, crowded, and costs way too much. I paid over $30 for one adult ticket. That is insanely high!! The whole aquarium took me about an hour to see, and that's with the crowds! Disappointed because I was hoping for a more relaxing experience.

I would give them 1 star but it is only 2 years old so I'll give 2 stars. Their is only 2 saltwater tanks in the aquarium...many empty hallways that have nothing in them. Hopefully they will eventually add more. They have a few outside exhibits and an aviary (witch is a joke). The coolest things were the touch pool and the out door dolphin habitat. (Huge dolphins). They did say they are putting in a penguin exhibit within a year or so. Their is plenty of room for more exhibits, but currently I felt like it was a waste of time and money. Honestly I have more of a variety in my 75g reef tank. They do not have a single coral tank or jellyfish tank. Also their is no type of behind the scenes information. If I ever go again it will not be for many years. The 2 pictures I posted is everything inside the in door aquarium. Hope you enjoyed the entire aquarium...instead of paying them 30 a person...this is free, and you have now seen the entire indoor area. Their are 4 outside exhibits. I love aquariums and hope they will continue to add more oceanic exhibits.

Lovely spot! I came with a friend and her granddaughter, and everything was just amazing. Walking the outdoor exhibits with otters, dolphins and the aviary was just delightful. The setup for the aquarium inside was very fulfilling. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. Watching the otters play was delightful, and the outside aviary pen was nice. It was nice watching the dolphins play.

This place was a lot of fun! We were in the area for college visits, and since marine biology is something I'm interested in studying in college we thought we could stop by here (and be "we thought" I mean I nagged repeatedly until my parents agreed). Be forewarned that it is pretty small, but what there is is very pretty and fun. There is an inside area where you can pet stingrays and other similar animals, and going down is a massive fish tank. You can walk through a tunnel through the fish tank, and there are countless windows from different angles. Other than that building, however, it was entirely outside... and this time of year we were was HOT. There was also an aviary which had some very pretty birds from all around the world.

It was fun for the children and mildly good for adults. Was pricey for what they had, we thought. Over $300 for 8 adults, 2 seniors and 2 kids. It was disappointing that one of the buildings was closed for renovations also. All in all we are glad we went but will not go again.

Not the biggest aquarium but they have a lot to see in their smaller footprint, especially if you have time to watch the shows and demonstrations. I'll be coming back at some point because I really want to try the add-on experiences.

This is a super small aquarium. I've been to many and this one was okay at best. You could tour the whole aquarium in about an hour. We paid for the dolphin encounter, which is basically 20 minutes of information maybe 5 minutes of interaction. If you want the photos that will be an extra almost $40. It was a little disappointing in seeing how small the dolphins enclosure was for 4 full grown males. While we had a decent time, it's super expensive for the experience.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Before I could ask a question, there was someone right there to answer. A beautiful, clean location right off the beach where there is plenty of free parking if you do not want to use the shaded paid parking that is available. It is true that there's only one huge tank inside the aquarium, but you can view it from 3 levels and the design is very thoughtfully done. The touch pool had more varieties of fish than I generally see at aquariums. The aviary is a cool addition. I saw a review here concerning seating... I saw benches on every level indoors and out. I feel this place was very kid friendly - lots of little crawl spaces for them to explore. I am 29 and my partner is 30. We had a lovely little afternoon date here and caught a spectacular sunset when we left. We got to see the dolphin training experience at 4:00, and I welled up with tears of happiness. It made every penny well worth it! I'm sure the other interactive experiences are equally as fun to see. I look forward to seeing growth at this aquarium in the future. I think it is a great place to spend your money, support marine life and biologists, and have some fun. Pro tips: If you visit after 3:00, tickets are discounted - we did this and had plenty of time to see everything, including the dolphin training session. If it's the holiday season, there's a walk-through light display just across the street toward the beach (we did not explore this, but it looked cool).

Not bad for a small town and a new aquarium just getting started. They charge the high dollar prices of bigger aquariums but offer little aquarium scenery. Went to go see the dolphins and you hardly could see them because they trainers were standing out on the deck and the dolphins stayed by them. I think they are off to a good start and will grow and do better in time. Very new and young aquarium.

Party of 3: 2 adults and a 7month old baby went in July. Total bill $51.36 with 20% off discount and it totally wasn't worth it. Total would of been $60+ tax. Open daily 10am-5pm. As locals, We were excited to get an addition to the gulf coast, but it's unreasonably priced for what you get. We toured the entire aquarium in 40 minutes (inside and out). The coolest things to us would be the room with the tall cylinder tank where all the fish swam in circles andddd the walk way where you're surrounded by the tank all around you. All in all, it was an expensive one time experience and we couldn't see ourselves recommending to visitors.

Very expensive admission for the small aquarium. The employees are very friendly but the aquarium was very disappointing compared to other aquariums I've visited across the country. There are more concrete walls in this aquarium than anything. You will find yourself winding through concrete corridors leading to sporadic viewing areas of the same aquarium from different perspectives. The whole experience is over very quickly.

We loved the opportunity to learn about conservation and local aquatic life! So happy to have an aquarium on the MS coast. It is growing so there is definitely potential for more exhibits. That being said, we loved everything we saw! Walking through the bird house was so fun, we loved seeing the dolphins and local fish, otters and the main building that used one large tank for multiple views and interactions! Two large touch tanks for an interactive experience and loads of photo opportunities! Also we loved that a lot is outside, so we got to enjoy the lovely weather too! It is a little pricy, but in my opinion, worth the cost!

Overpriced for what it is. There are just 3 floors of the same aquarium tank with very little variety of sea life. The Sea Trek is a decent experience. The Dolphin encounter is a total let down if your loved one is in the 2nd grouping of people in their scheduled time frame. They take the 2nd group to the dolphin pool furthest away and you cannot see your loved one and/or their encounter at all. The other exhibits are just subpar compared to other aquariums around the country. Most of the employees were nice and knowledgeable. Overall just very overpriced and not worth the experience or expense.

It was nice and the tanks were all clean and plenty of fish to see. I was disappointed that you couldn't see the penguins unless you paid extra.

I'm from south Mississippi and I know the struggles that the area has been through since Hurricane Katrina. It has taken a long time to build back up and it's still not like it was before. I'm happy that there is an aquarium to teach and inspire passion for animals in children and adults alike. I have been to many aquariums in many cities and this one is beautiful, but still adding attractions. I can agree that they probably shouldn't be charging full price since they're still adding attractions and that a map of the facility would be nice. There is a parking garage next to the aquarium so parking is quick, easy, and when we went yesterday parking was free! The facility itself is gorgeous. The entrance is grand and easy to get your ticket and enter. The first exhibits that you see are alligators and crocodiles. The main aquariums are in the largest building and it features laser fish and a hammerhead shark "swimming" on the ground beneath your feet. There is a grand three story tank with a variety of fish. There is also a large fish tank that you can walk around and a clear tunnel to want through that has a sea turtle, shark, stingrays and a variety of fish. There is a touch pool that had stingrays, starfish and even a variety of crabs, which is more than some touch pools that I've seen. There were local based exhibits with different gar, turtles, bass and large catfish. There was a river otter enclosure, but unfortunately they were hiding. We got to see the two penguins that they have, which were adorable! The aviary was one of my favorite parts. There were a GORGEOUS variety of exotic birds of every color from blue to pink! There is a dolphin exhibit, but no dolphins are there yet. I'm excited to see the aquarium as it grows and adds more beautiful exhibits!

So cool would def recommend got some cool pics!! Check them out below my uncle loved the alligator

Amazing staff and facilities!!!!!! Would definitely recommend a visit if you haven't been and if you have then go again soon. New attractions being introduced all the time.

Great place!! Recommend! This review has to be a minimum of a certain number of characters.

My two little ones absolutely loved their visit to the aquarium. We will definitely be back!

Great place! Very clean and I can see the animals are well taken care of! That meant a lot to me!

We drove from Mandeville, La to celebrate our 3 year old birthday for the day. The facilities were very clean. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. Our son had the chicken tenders. I had the chicken sandwich and the slaw slayed it, it was wonderful. My husband had the burger and he really loved it. The gift shop ladies were nice. Everyone greeted us with a super friendly welcome. We had a phenomenal experience. The parking attendants were even nice. Everything priced was reasonable. I have no complaints.

I agree with the reviews. It is over-priced for such a small aquarium. The main attraction are the dolphins. It's still a cool aquarium and worth seeing. We spent about 2hrs here and walked thru it twice.
