It's rather small, but it's neat. It's set up to almost force you into a single path to see everything. Going through the shark tank was the longest part but it was cool to try and see all the different animals in the tank. It is worth the money. If ...Read more

Must-see! Tickets are just under $20 for adults, not sure about hand-stamping for readmission. Not the largest aquarium by any means, but one of the most accessible and family-friendly. Feedings/shows are on a regular schedule, and worth a pause in ...Read more

This was such a big surprise. I had been to other Ripley's attractions but this is very different and the best I have ever seen. What a wonderful place. The exhibits are beautiful and the layout is great. You move easily from one exhibit to another. ...Read more

Went to Ripley's Aquarium and paid $16.95 to go to something that was so not worthwhile. When you go in, it's one big room and you can pet stingrays and turtles. Then they have a moving sidewalk that moves in a circle around the large room and it is ...Read more

Our entire family enjoyed the aquarium. When you walk in, they take your picture in form of an aquarium, which, of course, later on you view and have the option to buy. There was a Titanic exhibit when we were there, and pictures and stories told ...Read more

This is really worth your time and money. It is over by the Broadway at the Beach section (a large shopping mecca). There are various tanks of displays and many scheduled feeding sessions with divers in the tank who go out of their way to interact ...Read more

The aquarium is a $40-million, state-of-the-art, 87,000-square-foot aquarium. It is part of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. Meaning, in additional to fun and entertainment, the aquarium also is home to a world-class marine facility that is involved with environment education, conservation, and research.

The Rio Amazon exhibit displays piranha and other beautiful fish that are found in the Amazon River. You can marvel at the animals in the sea life collection, such as a giant octopus, sea anemones, coral, jellyfish, a seahorse, and an array of dazzling fish. At the Sea-For-Yourself Discovery Center, you get a chance to hold a horseshoe crab or pet a gentle ray. A dive show and marine education classes are presented hourly.

The big attraction by far is the Dangerous Reef, a 750,000-gallon tank with the world’s longest moving glide path at 330 feet. Here you glide your away through a tunnel of beautiful and brilliantly colored fishes, rays, eels, and more. You also get a close encounter with quite a few sharks! Kids, both small and over 21, will love this. It is such a thrill to be this close to sharks. In fact, it was after seeing this that we decided to get certified to scuba dive, just so I could get closer to the sharks. When we were here, the glide path was off, offering us a chance to take our time going through the tunnel.

There is a café and gift shop on the premises. There are also several chances to have your picture taken for a souvenir. As soon as you walk in the door there is someone waiting to take a picture. For more information, to find out what is happing during your trip, or to purchase advanced tickets, you can go to www.ripleysaquarium.com. You can also purchase tickets right in the front. If there is a long line outside, duck into the visitors information store right on the corner. You can purchase tickets here, as well as tickets for most of the shows in town.
