"You can smell death in the air"

By far the worst experience I have ever been a part of. Not only that I have to deal with the animal smell, but the under care of animals, the rude Management tops the cake. I do not recommend this place as you can see the abuse in the animals and I do not recommend having birthday party here. Over priced and under maintained. If you would like to take part in the cruelty of animals, and by all means, take your kids but very sad

"Overpriced and not up to description"

This was a pretty lame experience for the large entrance fees. There were numerous types of animals other than fish but there was no huge water tank that allowed for larger sharks, octopuses, etc. It definitely was overpriced given that you had to pay for very small amounts of fish food and seeds for the birds outside.

I felt bad for some of those animals. Sitting on concrete and not a lot of dirt. Very dingy, and dim, tanks weren’t the cleanest. I wouldn’t go back.

"Worst aquarium ever!!"

Reviewed October 04, 2025

Absolute bottom of the barrel experience, atmosphere was unlike any aquarium I’ve experienced and I mean that in the worst way possible. Almost everything was touchable which sure it’s cool to the nasty a** kids running around but the poor mammals and animals that spend their entire lives there is just cruel. The fish looked crampacked like sardines and the kangaroo and capybara looked dead. Would not recommend, the animals would be better off in the wild where there’s a death factor involved.

My nephew and I spent over an hour walking around the Aquarium. I was thinking that this would be awesome for kids, but come to find out, my nephew who is 20 had a great time! The tanks all have eye level viewing areas even for little kids. Lots of opportunities to feed the fish and animals (extra fee) and touching most if not all the aquatic life is encouraged. They also have animals, so there really is a lot to see and touch. Better and bigger than I thought.
