Description

Step right up for aquatic fun you won’t find anywhere else! Inside the 46,000-square-foot Aquarium at the Boardwalk, one of Branson, Missouri’s newest attractions, you’ll be mesmerized by an undersea journey through the ocean depths. Experience up-close views of colorful fish, sharks, seahorses, octopi, and more. You’ll find plenty of entertaining activities, too, like choreographing the colors in the jellyfish infinity room as you watch these bioluminescent beings and climbing through a kelp forest play zone designed especially for kids.

A larger-than-life giant Octopus sculpture greets you at the front door. It’s modeled after Aquarius, a giant Pacific octopus, and one of the Aquarium’s exclusive characters. Inside, stroll down the boardwalk and explore ten zones of fish and fun.

Take a 5D submarine ride to the bottom of the ocean, guided by Aquarius the Octopus and Finn the Pufferfish. Surround yourself with the sea as you walk through a tunnel right in the heart of the Aquarium and into a sunken ancient city. You’ll be thrilled with sightings of a variety of sharks and all kinds of uniquely striped and patterned fish as they swim circles all around you.

Get a vast view of a gorgeous coral reef, teeming with tropical marine life, and catch a final glimpse of the sharks and rays that come gliding overhead. Discover a magical underwater palace where heroic mermaids safeguard the ocean’s coral reefs, and marvelous coral species that create a home for so many treasured animals. Take some time to watch as fish travel in and around the corals and peek through the nooks and crannies of their colorful forms.

"Worth a visit"

Reviewed December 02, 2024 NEW

The Branson, Missouri Aquarium is absolutely worth a visit! The timed entry tickets are a great idea to minimize crowds, making it easier to fully enjoy the experience. The facility is spotless, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Every exhibit is thoughtfully arranged, clean, and teeming with diverse sea life. Highlights include the “kelp forest” climbing area for kids and adventurous adults, interactive touch pools where you can feel stingrays, sharks, starfish, and anemones, and a charming photo op at the start. The gift shop at the end is a fun touch for souvenirs. A movie/ride at the beginning is a delightful way to start the tour, but it’s optional if you’d rather skip it. The octopus scavenger hunt added a layer of excitement—we found all but one on our first loop and had to go back to complete it. It’s a nice bonus that you can go back through as much as you’d like (as long as it’s before closing). The one-way path through the aquarium ensures you don’t miss anything, but one improvement could be better signage. Some tanks only have a few species listed, even though there are many more inside, and one section even had an incorrect sign. Overall, this aquarium is a fantastic experience for all ages. The mix of interactive activities and stunning exhibits makes it a place we’d happily recommend!

"A fantastic 2 hours+ excursion!"

Reviewed November 24, 2024 NEW

I've been to a lot of aquariums across the U.S. and many things that are on hands for kids are usually broke or no longer there for them to do. This aquarium keeps everything working and looking brand new. I love the fact that there are many employees in areas for guests to ask questions and receive some knowledge about each hands-on exhibit. Very knowledgeable staff, friendly and attentive. Did I mention how clean the aquarium is? There are no massive smudges on the glass of all the tanks or dirty handprints. All in all, we loved our visit and will return while in Branson. A 5 star review is definitely maintained here.

"Expensive, Small Aquarium"

Reviewed November 23, 2024 NEW

This is a small aquarium for the price. Yes, the outside of the building looks cool and you get the opportunity to touch a stingray, starfish, and sea anemone but that doesn’t justify the ticket price, in my opinion. The whole building is separated into rooms featuring different aquatic life. Some of the rooms have low lighting or flashing/moving lights which can be problematic for some guests. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this activity as a must do/see while visiting Branson.

My daughter and I visited the Aquarium in Branson and then the next day visited the Aquarium in Springfield. The Branson aquarium was by FAR superior! This is an amazing place to visit!
