It's in a superb location on the riverfront. The aquarium itself is two buildings: Ocean Journey and River Journey. Very cool and interesting already, right? Each building is very accommodating for handicapped persons and people with strollers. Moving from one exhibit to the next is very streamlined and doesn't allow for people getting all backed up or too many people... more

I've been to aquariums in Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, and Newport, KY, and this might be my new favorite. Everything is very well done here. I love the way the aquarium is laid out with a definite route for visitors to follow - it kept the crowds distributed nicely. The architecture of the buildings was wonderful to look at also.... more

It was well worth the money for the wow factors and there were many!! What... more

This is a ticket well worth the admission price because there is so much to see. We got a combo -- an IMAX movie called "Under the Sea" and Aquarium passes. Our group of 4 were thrilled to pet little sharks, have butterflies land all over one of us, see penguins, big sharks, and an amazing mirrored room that makes... more
