About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mickey4480 contributionsA good place to visitThis was an extension we bought with the Legoland ticket. Sea Life Aquarium is right across the hall from Legoland. I'm glad we got this extension. The aquarium was on the smaller side but well worth the stopWritten December 29, 2023
- lb33wonka0 contributionsGreat aquariumWe lived it and it’s very clean and reasonably priced. Great way to kill a few hours and stay cool if hot. It’s also inside a mall so plenty of places to eat after or before. Need about 2 hours. Bathrooms inside and are clean. Cool customizable souvenirs inside gift shopWritten November 22, 2023
- Shawn K0 contributionsUnexpectedThis was a nice smaller aquarium. Clean and informative. Great for families. Very much enjoyed it. It has a relaxing, at the ocean vibe. Much needed after days spent in training. Enjoyed the visit very much.Written October 3, 2023
- E8763AVwilliaml0 contributionsGreat experienceExcellent small aquarium. A lot of exhibits to see. Definitely worth going to. Excellent value when purchased on the website.Written September 13, 2023
- Barb M0 contributionsEnjoyed the variety of sea life and learned many interesting factsWe were a party of 11 spanning 3 generations. Everyone of us found plenty to see and enjoy. Thank you!Written July 9, 2021
- Manchu_4910 contributionsEnjoyableFirst time visit was in 2020 after just moving to the area. Pleasantly surprised at how clean the facility was. It wasn't crazy crowded and we were able to see everything we wanted. All of the animals were out doing their thing and the wife was actually able to get a little closer than normal to the otters because of the worker doing a Q&A. There are also really neat displays outside of the aquarium. We walked around the Titanic artifact museum which had a bunch of items from the ship. Very neat if you enjoy that history. Parking was pretty easy, I'd say the only downside is the price is a bit high for the size of the aquarium. We had walked around and saw most everything in just a few hours.Written April 6, 2021
- 186melissau0 contributionsOkCool indoor aquarium but waaaaay over priced. Cost $86 for 2 people. Way too much money for the brief visit.Written February 24, 2021
- N5493OAscottb0 contributionsGreat Small AquariumWe have visited the Sea Life Aquarium many times and it is always an enjoyable experience. Even though the aquarium is small it has a good variety of sea life and the overall layout is nice.Written October 17, 2020
- 651ariell0 contributionsNot for Adults..The aquarium was great for the price! It’s only $15 to enter...however this is geared more for small children.Written September 12, 2020
- Whittygeek0 contributionsOnly for childrenThis place is mostly only for children. Super cute and has some neat scavenger hunt thing for them. Really appreciated the staff and love the atmosphere.Written June 6, 2020
- brucep4600 contributionsSeaLife phx review by Bruce The Zoo GuyI've been to over 50 aquariums around the United States. I love them and like to check out any new one I can. This one is rather tiny like many of the other sea life experiences. This one is located in the mall. It's pretty tiny would be hard to spend more than 30 minutes at this place. Cost of $20 for an adult though since it's in a mall the parking is free. There are some nice exhibits it's just tiny. It's a if you have a coupon or discount or something like that that it's worth visiting but I wouldn't go too far out of your way for this small placeWritten March 2, 2020
- judymZ8599IQ0 contributionsGood for young kidsThis was a good deal, when combined with Legoland. Kids really enjoyed this place, great for younger kids. The 7 year old had a blast. We would go here again.Written February 15, 2020
- DocMartens0 contributionsOk for the desert!This place hits with aquarium display. The feedings, the talks, all amazing. Touch tanks are good as well. However, it misses with the sea lions. They need a place you can just sit and watch them while not on the ride. The evening specials with the backstage access is amazing as well!Written January 19, 2020
- Whittygeek0 contributionsAmazing for kids!They had a little activity for kids to find stamps at these stations so they can get a little medal at the end of traveling through the aquarium. Super cute place, definitely a hands on place for kids to learn :)Written November 8, 2019
- emerald820 contributionsMediocre ExperienceThe aquarium was well organized and had some good exhibits but is on the small side. It sits across from Legoland and they offered great deals to do both so that made it worth it. Upon entering the photo station was not working which was very disappointing to me be my family. Photo staff was unable to fix it or find anyone to work it... very disappointing as a visitor to the state. I would suggest going to the other aquarium odysea aquarium instead.Written October 17, 2019

I stopped at the Arizona Mills mall after a day trip I took while vacationing in the area. I stumbled across the aquarium and went in. It's bigger than I thought it would be from the outside. A very nice surprise. It had some touch tanks and plenty of other tanks, large and small. It's a little pricey for one adult but I don't mind supporting the cause. They are part of conservation programs. I had a fun time seeing the marine life and reading about their programs. You can go back the same day if you want to also enjoy the huge mall. There is also a LegoLand across the hall, and parents can purchase a combo ticket for their little ones.

The aquarium is clean, thoughtfuly laid out, and has excellent facilities. There's a great range of animals to see and informative signage. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a lovely gift shop with a reasonably priced and good selection of items.
The standard tour is worth the ticket price to visit. Your ticket lasts all day so you can pop in and out to use the food court or visit the shops in the mall as well.
We paid extra to take a Behind the Scenes tour with a turtle encounter, which absolutely made the experience for us. Our tour guide AJ was first class, and we learned loads about how the aquarium works hard to keep the animals healthy, and about marine conservation and the role of the aquarium in this. We also spent time above the main tank with Natali, the Aquarist who looks after Ziva the rescued Green Sea Turtle. We learned about her and sea turtles generally, why she cannot be released back to the ocean, and got to see her very close up as Natali fed her.
Ziva is gorgeous and clearly very inquisitive and engaged - she was watching us as much as we were watching her. The tank is very clean and the animals are extremely well looked after.
If you're looking for something a bit different, and are interested in conservation, this is definitely worth paying extra for. Our 10 year old loved it as much as we did, so this is a good family activity.

Had a great time seeing all the sea life! There were tide pools to see and touch. pretty cool! It took about 2hrs. but we played and took a lot of pictures. It would be nice to have a self guided tour available. Maybe a station or something we can hear on our phones as we walk to different cases. The story about the shark with scoliosis we were told by a very sweet keeper was educational and made us want to adopt a shark... just thoughts and ideas. Thank you.

This is a horrible facility and should be closed down. The place is very expensive for very little to see and do. They herd you in and out like cattle, the water levels are very low and the tanks are terrible. It is a very basic “aquarium” with most fish found in a pet store or market. The tanks look like a bath tub with a few plastic kid toys scattered around. Just a revolting experience.

Awesome time with my daughter who is 5! She loved it. Took us 45 mins. Do the pics upfront first, because you will go through it and realize no pics where taken. That was confusing. Stop at the front first and scan the little card before entering. You can take photos after as well.

We had a flight cancelled and went looking for things to do. We found this as a combination ticket with the Lego adventure place next to it in the mall. This side of the ticket is certainly more educational, but is also pretty fun. My 7 year old daughter liked the interactive ways to see the tanks. There are a number of "get into the action" areas with ways to get 360 degree views. Good learning opportunities. Hands on tide pools area was looking a bit overused. Not a full size aquarium like you would see as a free-standing place, but pretty good for being part of a mall. It was a lot more value-balanced doing the combo ticket with the Lego place that it would have been on its own.

Great experience and the kids loved it. I think us adults even found several things interesting. VERY reasonably priced, especially in comparison to the competing aquarium of the area. It wasn't too busy nor crowded, which was another huge plus. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had some time to kill before heading to the airport so we decided to come here. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much! I couldn’t believe how much sea life they have here! Can’t believe it’s only $18! Love the interactive touch screens at the exhibits to read about the different sea life. My favorite though was the main aquarium! There are several different vantage points to watch the animals swim around. We absolutely loved it! We could’ve sat there forever and just watched. Highly recommend.

The fish were really nice. Tanks made it easy to see them. Kids had a blast. The tunnel was my favorite. Especially the glass floor.

Hours are 10am - 7pm Monday - Friday and 11am - 6pm on Sunday. I don't remember paying for parking, I think it's included in the price of the ticket.
