San Antonio Aquarium Tickets

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.

Why this is called an aquarium escapes me. There are some fish and stingrays held in what we consider prisons. There are numbers of lizards, a snake, parrots, primates etc. All of the cages are small and simply cruel. If you want to interact with some of the animals you can, for a fee. Now my favorite part is the costs and fees to enter. My wife and I are seniors which is listed at $22.95 with an upcharge of 3.8% if you pay with a card. We paid cash and I gave the a hundred and it was actually almost $60. I said something and the teller mumbled taxes, etc. well there were $3 for some fee, taxes and $5 for paying cash. What a hustle. Save you time and money.

Zero Stars if it would let us. If you want an overpriced petting zoo look no farther. Overpriced admission gets you nothing unless you buy coins. We thought it would be a City sponsored aquarium with a variety of tanks however there were very few aquatic animals. It felt like Chucky Cheese meets pimped put animals. They weave you around a room dedicated solely to arcade games with a band playing and small variety of animals. We would highly discourage going here.

Daughter had a Blast it was fun. Not really an aquarium more of a petting zoo. Make sure to being lots of money. It's expensive but worth it.

Lower. Your. Expectations! Not worth your money. Firstly, the entrance smells, it burns your nostrils and senses. Remember the venue is a flight of stairs from this. The decor was adorable, mine was whimsical mermaid style, they set your plates and cups. We got 5 (five) goodybags, yey!! I was hoping there would be some organization as to how the event would play out, like it's normally done in other venues. Unfortunately, here it's like throwing a wet noodle at a wall, whatever sticks. We had 25 people so some direction, and guidance would've been nice. They dropped the pizza boxes off, and that was it. The pizza was alright, not hot. They're not around, so you're on your own here, I was hoping for a hostess... anyone? They just abandoned us. My party and I did all the leg-work helping steer things. Lastly. They take tokens for everything. I invested and dropped another, $225 for my kids birthday party tokens, for the money pit that you are, I expected more!!! I left feeling defeted and upset. Just go to Sea World, for a little bit more money, at least you'll get the shows, rides and an actual Aquarium, not some sad animal petting farm.
