The Adventure Aquarium is a wonderful place to visit & explore. Dip your hands in chilly water to touch sharks, rays, sea cucumbers, sea stars, even jellies! Have a close encounter with a shark (or two or three) as you walk through the glass shark tunnel - they swim over your head!! Learn about seals during a show. Visit the... more

I took my 3 yo son and he stopped to look at everything. All of the employees were helpful in his shyness of touching the animals. more

We have been to aquarium in Atlantis at the Bahamas and we thought it was the greatest aquarium in the world. When I decided to plan a summer trip to take the kids to this aquarium, I didn't expect to wow them, but I was wrong. They loved it. We could call it a mini Atlantis aquarium with more options... more

I took my 4 year old to the Aquarium for a day with Daddy. We were very pleased with the experience. The price was reasonable (got a coupon for $2 off each admission) Just watching my son's reaction to some of the animals made the price of admisssion more than worth it! The setup made it very easy to get... more

I took my two kids, ages 4 and 18 mos. and they loved it! It was a perfectly sunny day and the location on the Camden waterfront was gorgeous. Yes it is pricey, but what aquarium isn't? I loved the themes they had and the layout was pretty easy to manage. The sharks were great! My kids loved Gils Clubhouse,... more

Visited this aquarium with 2 pre-teen kids, it was ok but borderline worth it. There was a very long line just to buy tickets (30 minutes), the tanks and fish were fine, nothing special, but there were a lot of "touch" tanks where you could touch shards and rays, which the kids loved. Paid the extra $5 for the 4D... more

My husband and I went to Philadelphia to visit with friends. We decided to take the kids (ages 16 months and 30 months) some place we hoped would entertain them. First we thought the zoo but decided it was too hot for that. So the aquarium it was. And what a wonderful surprise! The kids loved it and all the... more

While staying in Philly, drove to Aquarium in Camden,NJ. Well-marked route, lots of parking. Would've enjoyed the whole thing a lot more if there weren't so many large groups there. They let way too many in at one time. Couldn't get near some exhibits. The kids and their leaders shouted a lot. However, the "Shark Tunnel" was really neat so... more

I was planning on taking my daughter to Sesame Place but there was bad weather that day, so I opted for Adventure Aquarium instead. We really enjoyed it. There were a lot of animals there that we weren't necessarily expecting to see. I think the best time to visit is during the week around 1pm. All of the school groups... more

if this is the only aquairium you ever plan on going to, you wont have to be disappointed by going to a better one later. There are penty of handicap accecable elevators, and the line for the food wasnt long but other than that i would never want to go back to this place again. Cagematch, which is suppost to... more
