Ripley's Aquarium Feeding Frenzy

Very entertaining and informative! Children love the different sea lifes that are on the strange side. There was a mermaid show that was different. The place is like a cyclone in shape with every corner. Jellyfish petting and the charming Penguin Parade were two of my highlights, and my son loved the multilevel playground!

Took the family for a school field trip. Had lots of fun. The information about the different creatures was well displayed making it easy to learn. The two different levels to the playground are conveniently located for rest points where the kids could burn off some energy before continuing on. Other features we enjoyed where the shark tunnel, penguin parade, and dive show. Near the end of the aquarium there's a little food court. Prices are high but that was that was be expected. Its $4 just for an order of fries and $3 for a corn dog or hot dog and those where the cheapest items on the menu. Despite the prices the food was good and it was a convention place to stop for a quick bite before the long drive home since we didn't want to stop elsewhere. The whole family enjoyed being able to watch the sting rays in the giant aquarium next to the food court.

Highly recommend the glass boat tour! It is an extra add on to your ticket, but it was so cool to be above them! They also tell you all about the different sharks and fish that are in the tank! Going through the tunnel was such an amazing experience! There was a diving show in the stingray tank! You can pet and even feed the stingrays! They also have a cute penguin playground!

Awesome aquarium and very military friendly : I’m not one to seek out a discount, but I’m always appreciative when it’s given. The aquarium has some excellent enclosures and the animals seem well cared for. The staff is very friendly and attentive in their jobs. Definitely a great spot for the family or anyone who loves aquatic life, there’s so much to see!!!

An exciting aquarium! It was very low lighting for most of the way but they had bright and colorful lighting in the tanks to make all of the sea dwelling creatures pop vibrantly which I thought made the experience all the better. The shark tunnel was absolutely stunning. Watching them swim over you was just crazy. I will say the only downfall was that there was no limit to how many people they allow in the building so it was really crowded and you have to be patient in order to get up close to the tanks. They do allow you to try to touch the stingrays but the ridge between you and the pool is high up so if you have short arms like myself you may not be able to reach them. Be mindful of the little sharks that share the tank though one tried to get my fingers!
