SEA LIFE Arizona Aquarium

Beautiful aquarium with a wide variety of fish. We arrived about an hour before closing, so it was very quiet, with only a few other guests around, which made the experience really enjoyable. I imagine it gets much busier during the day. The stingray tank was my favorite, you can go up above it and look straight down, which makes for a great photo spot. They also have a gift shop, of course, where you can pick up fun souvenirs like a stuffed stingray to take home.

amazing customer service the moment i walked in. everyone was so nice to answer any questions. was really cool to see the egyptian spiny tailed lizard and the sea animals. my sister in law is going to love her new turtle mug for Christmas. thank you for the wonderful experience and happy holidays.

A small, but effective aquarium. All of the displays were in great shape. I definitely recommend buying combo tickets with LegoLand across the hall. It's worth every penny and your kids will spend literally all day between the 2. The stingray pool was awesome. The giant tunnel at the end it legit. Super immersive with a lot of viewing domes for the kids to help them feel like they're in the water with the fish. Sharks, sea turtles, axolotls, seahorses, lots of cool stuff to see.

It's a great place to visit with kids n family. Not much crowded and it has a good range of fishes, turtles mostly. It's worth going and spending a great weekend over there.

This aquarium is small enough for young children to enjoy without getting cranky, and large enough to have a wide assortment of critters to observe. The assortment varies widely...from starfish and sharks to jellyfish and seahorse. Grab a scavenger hunt sheet at the entrance and have fun. Stamp your sheet when you find each item. Fun for the family.

We had a wonderful time at SEA LIFE Arizona Aquarium during our visit to Arizona. I was there with my two kids, and it was a really enjoyable and memorable experience for all of us. The aquarium is beautifully designed and very engaging for children. There are so many fascinating sea creatures to see, and the exhibits are interactive and easy for kids to enjoy while still being educational. The tunnels and up-close views were a highlight and kept my kids excited the entire time. The place was clean, well organized, and family-friendly, making it comfortable to explore at our own pace. It’s a great indoor activity, especially when traveling with children or looking for something fun and educational to do in Arizona. I highly recommend SEA LIFE Aquarium for families with kids. It’s a fun, interesting, and well-run attraction that we truly enjoyed and would happily visit again.

We’ve always enjoyed our visits to SEA LIFE Arizona! The aquarium is beautifully done, and my daughter especially loves the scavenger hunt and all the fun little viewing areas and photo spots throughout. It’s a great family activity, and the exhibits are engaging and well cared for. That said, the prices do feel a bit high for the length of the visit. We’ve gone three or four times over the past couple of years, and while it’s always a good experience, the cost may keep us from visiting as often in the future.

SEA LIFE Aquarium is such a fun and beautiful experience! The tunnel tank with sharks and rays is breathtaking, and the touch tanks and interactive displays make it hands-on for all ages. Everywhere you turn there are great photo opportunities — from seahorses to schooling fish. The exhibits are well kept, staff are friendly, and the whole place is easy to enjoy at your own pace. A perfect mix of education, visuals, and interactive fun!

It can be so hard to find something to do with kids in this AZ heat, especially something fairly active and that doesn't break the bank. For that, we love this aquarium. We pay $35 for an annual Mon-Fri pass and my kids have a great time walking around and seeing the fishies. The underwater tunnel is a huge hit as is the sea star petting. The biggest downfall here is its location. Being inside of AZ mills means that we go when it first opens (11am), but I would feel unsafe bringing my kids later on in the day, especially the evening. We have never personally had any problems but unfortunately for a child-centric place the safety of locale is a big factor.

We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine... Took the kids to Sea Life after visiting the neighbor across the hall Legoland Discovery Center. It was worth buying a package for both places, you can do them on different days which works great for the kiddos. Nothing beats seeing them mesmerized by the wonders of nature. Love that they talk about all the little fishes they saw. Parking is spacious since it's a shopping center. It is right by an entrance. However I have to be honest there is no yellow submarine here, I can't get that song out of my head (thanks J.G.). It's not that big, you can almost walk thru twice (we almost did). There is a restroom at the beginning so if you have to go or your kids do it when you arrive or you'll be walking back as we did. There is a little area where the kids can touch a starfish which the kids loved (anything hands on for them). The sea turtle exhibit was empty which was a bummer, no whoa moment with Crush. Sometime nice to do indoors and away from the heat.

Nice little shop to buy goods to stop at after viewing the aquarium, I like that they have a small play area for kids, I'd recommend if buying package w LEGOland do aquarium first the kids will enjoy playing all around LEGOland longer after viewing fish. Aquariums were well kept and they had tons to view. It was fun walking through and checking out all the fish they even had some funky ones in there that were interesting. Staff on site were friendly and helpful with questions or presentations, very informational. We picked up some souvenirs on the way out.

Came for adult night hosted by Wild Joy. Not as sociable as we thought it would be buuuutt the aquarium itself really surprised us. Sharks, turtles, reptiles, you name it. They do work with Phoenix Zoo and Odysea. Valerie was incredible. She's made for so much entertainment. Her knowledge and passion shows. The woman needs to run her own aquarium!!

I like it so much and the animal crossing collab was cute. I felt for the price it was great. It's very clean and the animal look very well cared for.

My kid had the most star struck amazing moments at the aquarium in the mall of Arizona Mills. One Spontaneous afternoon we decided to go. During the time Of visit it was not busy at all. Going through all the different sections of interesting facts about the sea life and plants with all the fun finding facts were pretty cool. Walking through the tunnel gave you the life experience of the water mammals just about and the cool sea creatures was definitely a site to see.(2021)

If you want a small aquarium experience, then this place is perfect. Lots of fish to see and an area where guests can touch and feel some coral with some very knowledgeable person, guiding the guests along. Lots of sign and the set up was good where you enter and end up in the gift shop!

We were extremely disappointed in this aquarium. It is very tiny. Our visit was ruined by two vans of severely mentally handicapped kids about age 12 who had poor supervision and literally trued to knock my small grandsons age 3 and 7 over. The supervisor of these 2 kids of their group was right behind them allowing this when I said hey stop them from pushing my kids into the glass. She just deflected and did nothing. I said you're in charge of them. Do something. !! We spent our entire visit trying to stay ahead and away of those people who overran it. The aquarium should book private time for these large special needs groups. It's just too much.

I found myself in Phoenix wanting to explore around. I really wanted to see an aquarium but I also didn't feel like paying an arm and a leg. I heard about this one. I thought it was cool that it was next to a Lego land attraction. The place was very clean. Lots of aquatic life to see. My favorite part was the tunnel. It was so cool walking through it. It almost felt like I was walking those the ocean. There were a lot of neat fish and creatures I saw. I'm really glad I stopped in to see it.

Great place to bring your kids and grandchildren. Lots of fish and big aquariums. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about their environment.

We pre purchased tickets ahead online in conjunction with the LEGO center next door. This was a great deal and great experience. The staff were very friendly and informative. The displays all were great and well kept. There are some really fun tanks that include a "viewing bubble" for a unique look into the tank and the creatures in it. The tanks that allowed touching of the starfish and snails were a great experience. The staff member hosting was very knowledgeable, managed a birthday party group in front of us like a champ and was very good with my daughter who was scared to touch. I didn't catch her name but she was younger, a few exposed tattoos on her arms that she connected with my daughter (temporary tattoos on her arms) about and made her comfortable enough to touch all the animals she was allowed to. Great experience with a great value based off of the small additional cost from the original ticket cost from Lego. Would suggest for a visit if you're in the area.

This was a nice diversion on a hot AZ day, but as an aquatic attraction, it is a small, sparse experience. The crew at check-in is nice, the price is low, the path is clear, and the exhibits are well documented. Each station comes with displays, and audio is spread throughout, allowing the visitor to either read or hear audio queues related to the experience. The entire attraction is well lit and is safe while at the same time allowing for very close access to each tank. The different sea life animals are all looking healthy, and the tanks are well maintained. Nothing looks like it is breaking down. The price is $15 per person. This seems like a reasonable cost for a local attraction. It takes about an hour to walk through the entire place while giving time to meander with family and talk. There is a gift shop attached, which is normal. The place closes at 4 pm sharp, but the staff allows you to walk through with a ticket until 430pm. The attraction closes and is emptied by 500 pm. The temperature was not as cool as it should have been for us humans, feeling like the air conditioning wasn't keeping up with the torrid 116 outside weather. The inside temp was feeling about 80. They could lower the temp to help customers enjoy this more. If i was a student in a marine biology major or looking for a place to review such animals in wide diversity, this would not be the place. But if you are a parent with a toddler who wants to see some fish, then it is a perfect size and scope for an afternoon visit.

I went here specifically for the Animal Crossing Aquarium Tour collaboration. I have a friend who is really into the Animal Crossing franchise and I wanted to see if the collaboration would be worth the trip. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. It cost $20 for an adult ticket if you purchase at the door or $2 less if you do it online. The staff even encourage you to buy a ticket on your phone while you're standing there in the lobby. The Animal Crossing character mascot meet and greets and something called a "stamp rally" are only held on Saturdays and Sundays, according to the Sea Life website. I was here on a Monday and the only Animal Crossing features were a photo backdrop, a few themed character cutouts, and a handful of information signs, some of which weren't related to the fish or other animals on exhibit. I was here for about 45 minutes and rushed through it only because there were a lot of little kids and their parents running around. Considering the small size of this aquarium, you're not going to see anything larger than the sea turtle or the leopard sharks (at least, I think they were leopard sharks but I could be mistaken). They have fish, manta rays, seahorses, shrimp, jelly fish, eels, starfish, sea urchins, and an oddly out of place room with desert tortoises and a few lizards.There was a small touch pool area but only one of the three pools was open. My favorite part was the tunnel that went through the biggest tank. There was also a large viewing window into the tank and an employee in Halloween-themed scuba gear was feeding fish out of a pumpkin. Unfortunately, several employees were standing in the way so nobody else could get a decent view. Most of the exhibits had Halloween themed decorations in them but I found it really distracting. There is a big room with a kids play area at the very end but that room smelled horrible. I held my breath as I made my way into the gift shop. The gift shop had some Animal Crossing merch but it was just a couple of t-shirts, some plushies, mugs, and really expensive Lego sets. Some of the Lego were going for $50-$75. I went across the hall to the Legoland store and they were selling the same sets for a couple dollars cheaper. Overall it was an average mall aquarium. If you really want to go here for the Animal Crossing collaboration, then go on a weekend.

Love what they did with the small space, great staff on the inside and the animals seem happy! We got the membership and still had to be looked up each time , that part didn't make us feel too welcomed. Probably won't renew but thanks for the memories

This isn't the best aquarium I've ever been to, but it is nice for what it is. I wanted to find an indoor activity I could take my 2 year old to so we could escape the heat. We were able to buy our tickets online ahead of time (I think you save a little money if you do). The price was very reasonable - less than $40 for 2 adults (and free for under 3 years). There was a bit of a line to enter when we got there, but it moved fairly quickly. The aquarium wasn't huge, so it actually seemed fairly crowded (we went at 11 am on a Sunday). They have some nice exhibits with some sharks and stingrays (as well as many other kinds of fish). The way some of the tanks are laid out are pretty cool - a lot of them are on eye level for younger kids. There is a room with a 360 degree fishtank encircling the room and another with a tank that is above your head and on the sides as well.

This isn't the biggest aquarium in the world, but I have to say, I was very impressed after not having been here in years. We went to the Animal Crossing event and it was managed very well. Staff were making sure people could cross through the somewhat tight pathways and that everyone was in the correct line for what they came for. It could have easily gotten chaotic with the amount of people there and how small some of the areas are. Aside from the AC-themed stuff (which was all great and very cute, sad we didn't get the hats in the store for some reason though! Maybe they had sold out since we went for the last day :() the aquarium had a decent amount of cute exhibits with different kinds of fish, sharks, and other animals. They had decorated the exhibits for Halloween and it's very clear that the staff members really care for the animals and enjoy their job. One staff member in particular was on top and we saw her in 2-3 different stations in the hour or so that we were inside! Great time and it was all because of the staff.

Featuring over 250 species. Currently home for two rescued sea turtles. Ziva has called Sea Life her home since 2010. Donna is an Olive Ridley turtle, recently rescued in 2022. Okay so if your from out of town like me, then it's good to know this aquarium is located within the Arizona Mills mall. My car GPS decided to take me to the far side of the mall resulting in us walking farther than anticipated to the entrance of this aquarium. Anyway, once we arrived I showed the nice girl at the counter my previously purchased tickets online. On their website all you need to do is pick the day and time you wish to visit. When we visited in July 2022, they were still doing timed entry. I appreciated this as it opens up the viewing areas instead of being filled with people you need to look over or around just to view the fish. Plus if you have little ones to look after (two grandkids) then this allows for greater roaming freedom, yay! Hands down the favorite exhibit for both grandkids, the desert tortoise, Mojave and Sonora. The largest one really seemed to like humans and walked towards them for petting. Afterwards we had lunch (in the mall) then returned to the gift shop to see what we could not live without! Overall a very fun day.

This is a smaller aquarium but they have quite a lot to see and the prices are really affordable. They have an area where the kids can touch some of the aquarium stuff but it's also a fun date place for adults.

I'm from out of town and decided this would be a fun spot to go to. They have a lot of cool tanks but it's such a small set up! I was out of there within 15 minutes.

We visited this aquarium the weekend it opened years ago. The kids were younger but still enjoyed it. This time around, they are teens and able to appreciate it even more. I took my parents as well and everyone had such a fun time. I don't know how we got lucky and ended up going on a day the tickets were on sale. They usually don't run as high as other places. Kids were able to interact with some of the animals. It was great. Go ahead and try it.

What an amazing place to bring the family. Lots to see and learn about. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. This aquarium is perfect for the little ones.

It's always a good time here for my kiddos. I like it better than the other aquarium for my kids because I think it's more appropriate for their ages. I think they could do a better job of monitoring entries because the place is a little small for the amount of people they let in at one time. Other than that, it has a great number of attractions and usually has some pretty fun activities for the kiddos. Sometimes the activities aren't explained well, but you can figure them out for the most part. I love that they have the play area at the end. It may need to be sanitized though. I love catching a good Groupon or a deal to go here and Legoland. Super cool spot especially when you're trying to avoid outside activities in this AZ heat.

We took the little ones here for a underwater adventure with some friends. We purchased tickets ahead of time online. There was a deal going on for 14.99 all ages 3 and up. They have a 5.00 Sea Life Ranger Mission Pack for kids. It is an additional 10.00 per person to combine The Lego Discovery across the way. We arrived and headed inside the mall. Masks are required and they provide hand sanitizer before entry. We stood in line for 35 minutes. Once at the entrance of the adventure an automatic entry door opens every 2 minutes between each party to help with social distancing. Don't forget to grab a stamp book for the kids when checking in. There are stamp machines throughout the exhibits. Now they no longer stamp well, and you can't access one of the stampers as it is closed up the stairs due to covid. They do not look at the books, but at the end they get a prize for completing. Dark caverns and beautiful tropical windows filled with colorful sea life throughout your walk. We would love to have spent more time at some of the exhibits, but with another family 2 minutes behind you it kind of limits you during this covid period. I felt bad waiting for people in who wanted to stay and window watch longer. We let them know to take their time. We kind of worked together with others around us to make sure everyone enjoyed their time there. But it was a bit rushed. So beautiful and well taken care of. Many of the sea life seemed to have a personality and enjoyed coming up to the windows to say hello. The tickets have gone down in price maybe due to covid. On the way out you can check out the gift shop. We did spent more time in line than enjoying the aquarium. It was a great experience to share with our girls.

We went for the Halloween deal where kids were free with a costume! So worth it. Smaller than some aquariums I've been to but it was perfect especially for little kids. They loved it. There was so much to do for kids and at the end a playground. The only thing we had an issue with was the person manning the counters was also manning the gift shop and we had to wait for shoppers to checkout just to get into the aquarium. So not enough workers. Otherwise this is a great place to go.

I think this aquarium is great for little kids. It's much smaller than our other aquarium Odysea here in the valley, but it's also easier to navigate and less overwhelming. They don't have as much here, but it's the perfect size for my 4 and 2 year old daughters. They have also been to Odysea and enjoyed it, but this is just an easier and more affordable option. You can also pair tickets up with nearby legoland and save a little. We haven't done this yet, but plan to in the future. I really like the tank that has all of the rays and sharks in it.

Great fun for adults and kids you can currently get an annual pass to both sea life and LEGO land discovery next door for $40 per person older than 3, under 3 are free with an adult or $30 for just sea life only. I like that you can get through this in an hour or you can spend a few, however long you want to stay. I could barely get my son out of the viewing bubbles and tubes. Lots of fun fresh water and sea animals to look at; sea horses, sting rays, jelly fish, sharks, lobster and more. There are a number of interactive exhibits and a climbing gym at the end, pumping water in the dam and flowing water exhibit was fun. Sea life is totally worth the annual pass to come as often as you like for as long or short a time as you want to spend. I might question the value of a $20 day pass though.

Small aquarium inside the mall but you totally get your moneys worth. Would recommend this one for balling on a budget. Super nice great price

My 1 year old had the best time. Find a coupon on Groupon! It's way bigger then i thought it was going to be

We have a membership to both the Legoland center and the aquarium, having the combo pass is nice because it is a great way to escape the Arizona heat during the summer for a period of time. The aquarium experience can vary a bit depending on the amount of people visiting that day, the time of day that you go and whether you take your time walking through the aquarium. If you enjoy stopping for a moment to watch the fish swim around and seeing how they interact you'll be here for a little while. However if you prefer to just walk and look you can walk through the entire thing in about 15-20 minutes. My children are both younger still so we like talking a casual stroll through to look at all the fish, we also enjoy stopping by where they have a desert tortoise, snakes, etc. The touch pool is neat and they have a few different things for you to touch, they do have a hand sanitizer station but I wish they had an actual sink to wash your hands. My absolute favorite spot is in the middle of the aquarium, they have an area that has an open top aquarium. They have seating in the room, a walk up area where you can see down from above or a tunnel for the kids to go through. When there isn't a lot of people it is nice to just sit and relax while watching the rays swim by. There are a lot of interactive touch screens that tell you about the different fish, great spots for photo opps, pop up bubbles for kids to check out, and a play area for the kids. We've only stopped at the play area once as it is usually busy but it seems like your normal kids play gym nothing crazy. The gift shop is a little over priced so we normally don't stop in it, but their activity pack that you can buy when you first go in is great for younger kids the first time you visit. The aquarium can be a little pricey so the combo tickets and groupon can really help save you some cash. We usually don't see the staff around much while walking through aside from designated areas. The bathrooms are alright, I've seen worse and understand when it gets really busy they can't keep the bathrooms up 100% I haven't seen it absolutely trashed and there is always toilet paper and soap at the sinks.

I brought my son here for a one on one day with him. He is 3 years old and he seemed to enjoy it. It's a bit over priced if you get the single ticket for what is offered. I was able to purchase the double ticket for legoland and sealife so it saved a few bucks in the end. It was a nice small-average sized aquarium for being inside of a mall. I liked how they had a small outside play area where kids can mess with water tubs and channels. My son seemed to enjoy this on a normal hot Arizona day. Overall it was a cool one time experience and the fact my son enjoyed himself made the visit worth it.

Employees were very nice, there was a surprising amount of sea life to see for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend for all ages.

This is a fairly small aquarium but it was cute and had quite a few creatures. We got the combo ticket with Legoland Discovery so it was a good price.

Priceing was very reasonable for both adults and children. The length of the aquarium was perfect for young kids, with lots of ways for them to be interactive throughout. Right near the end my 3 year old started getting bored and as he was about to start getting upset we come across a large play set for children to play on. We spent a good twenty minutes hanging out here and could have stayed longer, but we wanted to head out. In the end we all had a good time and I would reccomend this to others.

What a snooze!!! This is a tiny little aquarium inside a mall that has seen way better days! I was so unimpressed and saw the whole place in about 15 minutes I thought the staff was friendly and pretty talkative but that may be because its almost empty. The place could really only be worse if they added a dolphin show.

Visiting from out of town and my little family of 4 make it a habit to visit the aquariums anytime we are traveling. Our little 2 year-old is obsessed with marine life, so naturally we have SeaLife & OdySea planned! We opted to go to SeaLife first since I read reviews that it was more toddler/young kid friendly. It definitely was!!! This was one of the better aquariums we went to, even though it's slightly smaller than usual aquariums (I've been to WAY tinier ones.) However, they jammed pack everything they could into the space & I feel like it was so worth it. We LOVED (including my 13 year-old) all the floor to toddler height displays. There were so many different ones that showed different marine environments and I swear, I could stay at the Sandy shoals one for a while. They even had a lot of different fishes and animals that I hardly ever see at any other aquarium, so that was nice and new for my family. Truly, just seeing them so up-close to your face was awesome, & that's with hardly ever having to pick up my toddler so he can get a closer look. We're happy with this visit!! Thanks for a great time

Very cute spot and cheap date. It isn't very large which is why the tickets are cheap, but I think for what there was, it was still good for its money. There was a lot of covid restrictions like distancing for each room. Still very fun

I visited on Thursday, May 23rd with two of my friends on a trip to Phoenix. We had the pleasure of being served by Philip who was kind and curteous and helped us get what we need. The experience itself was excellent, the ability to see the different kinds of fish and learn about Aquatic life. Their staff overall were all kind and helpful. The experience is also far cheaper than the Phoenix Zoo or other places like it. I would highly recommend visiting and if you get the pleasure of having Philip help you, you're sure to have a positive experience.

Small aquarium. When we went it was a packed and there wasn't that much to see that was a wow factor The prices are decent but I don't think I'll be back again. The kids were a little bored and it wasn't as entertaining and not as much variety for the kids. There wasn't really any staff around because it's a walk through but the girls at the front where you buy tickets we're kind and helpful.

Cute aquarium that is actually larger than expected. We went through twice, first time when we got to the mall and right before we left, if you save your receipt, you can go back before 4pm same day. Lots of different types of sea life, our 6 year old loved it and was so amazed. There are a few ports where you can see the fish from other angles. There were bigger fishes, sharks and turtles however, it seemed to be a selfie spot and lots of adults and older teenagers were spending a lot of time there and the 6 year old got impatient. The gift shop at the end had a lot of different items that were decently priced. Overall, super cool place to have in the mall and take the kids, def will be back again.

They need more space for the different types but all in all it was a good experience. My daughters had a blast!

Sea life Arizona aquarium was a fascinating experience. The entrance is inside of the mall which was a little quirky to find. But the staff and attendance working there were very kind and knowledgeable. Some of the exhibits to ranged from really well done to kind of campy and run down looking hence the three stars. Aquatic centers are always a hard thing to rate because in essence one is rating wildlife which seems extraordinarily pretentious in my opinion. It's not like to see creatures make their own domiciles. It's up to the people doing it. It is a little pricey for how small it is, however if you're looking for something to do especially if you have children it's not a bad place to take a break from the hustle and bustle and see some underwater friends... Who knows you might actually see Ariel, Nemo, and Dori!

We came here while visiting family in town and took my 2 year old nephew . It was in a mall so I didn't expect it to be big. Ticket prices were $15 I felt they should've been less then that considering half there stuff in the aquarium was closed due to Covid. It was was cool seeing all the sea animals . The best part was walking on the glass and the animals were below swimming . Also it was a little hard to keep 6 feet from other guests

The price is good for what it is: an aquarium in the mall, in the desert. It took us about an hour to wander through the aquarium with three kids, ages 3, 6, and 7. The kids' favorite part was the big playground structure near the end. There were quite a few kids there and they all seemed to really enjoy it. The lighting is pretty dark throughout, so if that is something you're sensitive to, you might want to skip this place. Their gift shop wasn't outrageously priced either, which is nice. I got each of my kids a trinket to bring home for $6 or $7 each. This was a fun way to kill some time and see animals. The turtle was pretty cool, but her enclosure seemed a bit sad. I'm sure there's a reason for this; probably the less busy it is, the happier she is. Not sure, but overall a nice place to bring children under 10yrs old.

This is such a great aquarium. It's not massive, but it's a lot bigger than I expected for a mall. There are lots of fun fish and animals to see. We love the sting rays and sea turtle. And the tunnel you can walk through is awesome. We also love the price of the limited day annual membership! This is the perfect place to escape the heat. I also love the ambiance. It's dim with calm music and just feels really peaceful. Definitely recommend!!

Despite it being on the smaller side, it was filled with healthy livestock, a staff that was more than happy to answer questions from the beginner to the advanced, and even the behind the scenes tour was super informative (even for someone who owns a saltwater tank I still learned something from them). I've been to many other aquariums in the state where their animals were very visibly sick, but the animals are super well taken care of and it's a great location to bring kids of all ages to enjoy!

My Glambaby (3) had a great time here, it can stake about 45 minutes to see everything, could be longer for live shows, when they take the turtle out the cage! There are several areas where the kids can peek their heads in a dome to take a picture with the aquarium around them! If you don't have much time to go to the big Aquarium in Scottsdale and you want to take the kiddos to have some fun this will be a quick spot. After we left We ate and she was sleep without having to have an entire conversation around nap time! Easy Peasy!

Took 5yo, and 10yo granddaughters, along with my husband. We all had a great time. The girls absolutely loved it. I was really shocked that it was located at the mall!.... win win! The aquarium was very neat and clean. It was strangely full staffed inside, however the entrance and exit had one poor girl running herself raged!! She was extremely polite and pleasant....with absolutely no help.

We had a few hours to kill before going to a concert and ended up coming here to explore. I didn't expect for there to be an aquarium in the mall, but it was a fun little exploration. A little small, but it was a well thought out center that flowed very well. We really enjoyed watching the stingrays and the octopus who changed colors a few times as we watched. They do make you take cheesy photos when you come in, but we opted not to buy them at the end.

Very cute, clean, educational and fun! We took our time and it took us about 1.5-2hrs to get through. Play land at the end that requires socks. Pretty good gift shop selection. Little disclaimer: the area and mall aren't exactly the safest places, so just be aware of your surroundings (obviously).
