A giant Pacific octopus sculpture, modeled after the aquarium’s signature character, Aquarius, welcomes guests into a boardwalk-themed undersea world. Inside, children can crawl through a towering kelp forest structure, while guests of all ages choreograph the glow in the jellyfish infinity room or reach into touch tanks filled with rays and tide-pool creatures.

Walk through a stunning underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks and colorful fish as they navigate the ruins of a lost city.

"Very nice, but over quickly."
October 2025
This was a very nice aquarium, and the exhibits were beautiful! However, we went through the entire thing in only about 30 minutes. I think we almost spent more time in the gift shop than what it took us to walk through the entire aquarium.

Tip: Don't plan to spend a lot of time here. I had this activity planned on one evening during our trip, and it was over so fast we ended up in bed early that night with nothing else on our itenerary.

"My favorite attraction in Branson"
October 2025
Aquarium in Branson is the excellent place to visit! So many different species, including sharks and stingrays! I was lucky to watch Aquarium stuff cleaning inside the tanks surrounded by colourful fish! It's amazing place to spend at least 2 hours. And the mirror room something you can't see anywhere else!

"Branson Aquarium on the Boardwalk and Branson Belle"
June 2025
Our family had an amazing time at the Branson Aquarium on the Boardwalk's Five'r attractions and the Branson Belle cruise, we found great deals and discounted tickets on Tipster! With four kids ranging from 5 to 16 years old, we were thrilled to find experiences that kept everyone engaged. The aquarium was interactive and exciting—our little ones loved the scavenger hunt challenge, while the older kids enjoyed petting stingrays and exploring the stunning jellyfish room of mirrors. We opted for the early bird ticket at the aquarium, which turned out to be a great decision—it wasn’t crowded, allowing us to fully enjoy the exhibits at a relaxed pace.

Branson Belle cruise was also very good. The food was delicious, the entertainment was great, we all enjoyed it.
