Austin Aquarium - Austin, Texas

Marion Noll

Kleines Aquarium. Hier kommen Kinder auf ihre Kosten. Frei lebende Tiere zum anfassen. Tolle Erfahrung für Kinder. Die Leguane sind einfach Spitze. Diesen Besuch sollte man nicht verpassen ist sehenswert.

Good, not great. I'd say using the word "Aquarium" in the name is a bit of a stretch. It's more of an interactive zoo.

Touch tanks and animal encounters are nice. The issue is you need to ask for an employee then wait for them to get there then wait for prep for the animal encounter. It is all a bit of a waiting game that can easily be made more efficient (-1 star). Perhaps more employees or better communication is needed.

Overall, quite fun. The price + the tokens aren't crazy expensive, but for the price I would have expected a better overall experience.

Would I go back? I'm not sure. I hear there is a larger of these close to Houston, we'd likely try that first when we are in the area.

Also, we went on a weekday morning and still felt ourselves waiting despite the fact it wasn't crowded.

TL;DR: Highly recommend if you have kids! It's a great and interactive adventure for 1-2 hours.

From the outside it doesn't look like much and we were a little hesitant at the cost, but this place is not just an aquarium. They have many other mammals, reptiles, and birds, almost all of which you can interact with inside their exhibits! There wasn't an obvious distinction between zones so there didn't seem to be any specific grouping of the creatures, but it was still very entertaining. Almost every exhibit allowed you to enter with supervision and interact with the animals there, which was remarkable. We took our 1 year old and we all had a blast. I recommend getting a single yearly pass (comes to about the same cost as 2 adults, let's up to 3 people in plus kids under 2 are free). We will definitely go again!

Oh, and watch out for the speedy tortoise that runs laps around the facility alongside you!

Highly recommend going here! The volunteers/staff are incredible. I cannot thank Marcus and Ryan enough for making it memorable and giving great encounters with the animals 🙂 From the outside you’ll probably think this is as a small non-descript passable store - inside its wonderland turning you into a child all over again 🙂 Lots of activities (we even had someone celebrate their birthday) and experiences with the different animals- this isn’t just an aquarium- it has several other species - so you can easily spend 2 hours and not know how time flies 🙂

It’s fun place for ages 1 to 4 ! It’s very small but can spend around 2 hours max ! The feeding options are many. Encounters as well. There are extra things like balloon shaped toys, face painting and kid friendly temporary tattoo. Over all it’s a 8/10

This place was sooo wonderful to us on my daughters birthday, today! I had called ahead to reserve a table, and they couldn't because it's a holiday. But that didn't stop Emma and her whole team from going above and beyond for us to make our experience an incredible one! She took our cake and put it in the fridge, gave my daughter a whole gift bag with tokens, and got us an annual pass for the family! I'm beyond grateful to Emma and the staff at Austin aquarium! Y'all are seriously amazing! Thank you so much! We can't wait to come back and see everyone and all the animals! The place is clean, staff is very friendly, and everything we did was interactive! Come check them out!

Stefff

First time visit in July in weekday, can buy the ticket ontime, maximum can spend around 1.5 hrs, there are few animals only, staffs are good, its fully closed place, and bit smelly inside cause of animals wastage’s. ticket price is bit high not worth for the price. if we wish we can interact with animals too, can feed them and allowed to go inside cages. Love birds interaction is much nice for kids and adults. additional payment for animal interaction. good for one time visit.
