Texas State Aquarium

A must visit!!! Our whole family loved this. It was a great way to entertain everyone and stay cool during the day. They had plenty of food and drink options, so much to see, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The cost is completely worth the visit. Our favorite part was definitely the dolphins! They were lively and seemed happy. All the animals were well kept and they had so many eels to see (my personal favorite).

Our family had a great experience at the Texas State Aquarium. The facility was clean and well-organized. There was a good variety of marine animals, and the exhibits were easy to navigate. We especially appreciated the dolphin and sea turtle areas. The animals looked healthy, and the staff seemed knowledgeable and attentive. It’s a good place to learn about marine life and ocean conservation. I would recommend it to families, tourists, or anyone interested in sea animals.

I came here with my family last year and I absolutely love this aquarium I've been a few times now. Sucks how busy it was this time when we went because some people are very impolite. I love seeing all the sea creatures and my favorite is the stingrays sharks and dolphins!!! Love their gift shop, friendly staff and best of all DOLPHINS.

My wife and I had an amazing time here we live in the valley and came here for the day. It was nice to see the dolphins and see everything they have. I recommend buying a membership because you only pay once a year and can go when ever you want. The aquarium had so much things to do and look at and our baby boy had so much fun

Overall, it is a beautiful and large aquarium. Lots of interactive exhibits which are always a favorite! You can touch rays, sharks, hermit crabs. The dolphin show was great. The shark tunnel was phenomenal! Lots of sharks to watch and learn about. I love the education worked into every exhibit. A few things could be better though. For one, I don't think people should be allowed to "save seats" for the dolphin show. We got there 25 minutes early to get a seat with our 2 toddlers and still couldn't sit in the front because they let like 3 people save up the whole side of a front row (which ended up being for adults btw.... if my toddlers can sit and wait for a good seat, so can anyone else). Also the splash pad is literal anarchy. They have a single person roving who doesn't even look like they plan to get wet. The worker did nothing for big kids pushing and bullying little kids around, cutting lines for the slides, and splashing other kids who were clearly upset about it. We had to take it into our own hands to correct other people's kids because pigs will fly before I let my kids get pushed around by kids who are WAY old enough to know better. No one should be put in that kind of situation. If you can man a snack shack there (20ft from another one), you can adequately man the splash pad. Overall, I am happy we bought a membership. They are priced great if you can go at least 2-3 times in a year. I loved that it starts when you buy it and it isn't a "season pass" by calendar date. Thank you for what you do for the animals and the opportunities you provide for the public.

It wasn't what I thought it would be. However, we had fun. I loved feeding the sting rays and the view. I do like that it was large and not so overly crowded. I loved the HEB Carribean Exhibit the most!

Such a blast! We spent 3 to 4 hours here and the kids (8 and 11) were fascinated. Food was a bit pricey, but you can come and go from your car. Splash pad was geared to younger kids, but still a fun way to stay cool on a hot day! We would definitely go back & see the new exhibits and ALL the amazing angles of the animals! We didn’t know how to pay for parking, but the attendant gave us a coin to get out!

This was an amazing experience, and my family and I absolutely loved it! A lot to do, the dolphin show made my wife and sister cry tears of joy! It's great for families. Food is okay, dont get me wrong, but it beats nothing. Really loved this place I can't want to see it again
