Exhibits average. Price average. If you like looking at fish for a couple of hours, it is ok. If you don't, look the up on the internet and save the trip.

I really like this aquarium. It's a good size...we took our time and had lunch and ice cream and (without the 4D theater) it took us about 4hrs and my 5 year old had fun the whole time. The exhibits are great, staff is friendly. I got a discount code from bizrate and purchased my tickets online and printed them... More

Had a really nice Sunday @ the acquarium. Got there right @ 10a when they opened. We breezed right through everything with no challenges to see. The kids really had fun. The touch exhibits were really nice. They enjoyed being able to touch the fish. They do pictures when you arrive.... If you think it's something you'll want to buy....... More

Adventure Aquarium was a fun experience. I really enjoyed being able to touch the sting rays and sharks. Visited National in Baltimore, although both expensive, this was money better spent.

This was our second trip to the NJ aquarium, with our kids who are now 6,10,and 13. Our last visit was about 5 years ago. Not much has changed since then. It's still a fun place for kids to get up close to animals they usually can only read about. All of them enjoyed the trip...even the teenager - although... More

Parents maybe not so much! There were not as many exhibits as I thought there would be and my 13 year old who loves aquariums seemed a little bored. But it was hard to see things as so crowded. And then you had people trying to take 20 photographs of their kids sitting in front of the small seahorse tank.... More

Adventure Aquarium is a fun place for kids. It is clear that all of the exhibits are built with the kids in mind. Our kids had a great time here. There are several areas where kids can "touch" the animals (stingrays, starfish, etc.), and everything seemed clean and well maintained. I did notice a lot of the staff could really... More
