I've been to a lot of aquariums, including the National one in Baltimore, and despite it's small size, I thought Sea Life was worth the price (just make sure you buy tickets online first to get the discount; and if you plan to go to Legoland, get combo tickets). Yes, it's small, and you will be out in 40 minutes... More

Totally worth the price!!! This place is beautiful!!! I would def. go back again. I was shocked to see it IN THE MALL but that's ok. It wasn't busy while we were there so we were able to enjoy all of the sea life. They had such beautiful displays and the walk through was amazing!!!

What a beautiful experience! There are some fishes here that I have not seen in other aquariums. The facility is clean, the personnel friendly, and the price is right. If you are looking for a nice way to spend the afternoon, I highly recommend this attraction.

I did read the reviews and made note in my mind about them. We were done with the walk through in a little over an hour. Partly just because he was so excited to see what was next. We did the behind the scenes tour and loved it!!! Not sure that we would do it again but very glad we... More

My family and I went to the Downtown Aquarium in Houston for spring break, and I have to admit--THIS WAS WAAAAY BETTER!! From the tme you walk in, to the time you leave, I never found a disappointing display. The fish were cool. The sting ray tank was awesome. The petting pool was SUPER COOL. Robert was the one who...

Visited with two teenagers who LOVED the experience. To those who say they went through in an hour or less and that there is "not much to see", please take the opportunity to stop and really look.

The aquarium is pretty and has some neat features. The kids loved the quiz cards and the bubbles you could crawl into. However, the place is small- it took less than an hour to see the whole thing even with a group of 12 people. The playscape is very small and didn't keep the kids entertained long. Overall, we probably... More

This would be perfect for preschoolers. It is quite small and very expensive. We came back at 4 because the lines and crowds were so long. We had enough space to see everything and you can go at your own pace. There were 3 small pools where the kids can tough animals like every zoo or aquarium has now. The... More

11 and 6 years old loved this place. It's amazing what they made out of what used to be Gameworks! Very interactive and souvenirs were affordable! Tip - Buy your tickets online to avoid the long line at the ticket counter!
