Great place for kids. My boyfriend and I had fun and took lots of pictures. My only problem is that octopus did not have enough room, it should have been kept in a bigger tank.

Ashley Gysin

My kids (3 & 6) had a great time here. It's a little expensive , but if you buy the tickets online or at Costco it's not too bad. We spent about 4 hours here, so it was a fun half-day activity.

Tempe Tourism

They have a new jellyfish exhibit opening that is incredible. Make sure you stop by and check it out. Ziva and Fry, their rescued sea turtles , are a must see. A great place for birthday parties.

Corey - Rock Star Employee!! In comparison to going to the other Aquarium and spending less money - Go Here!! We asked questions about certain species, and employees there were knowledgeable .

ryan thouin

Find coupons on line . It's local and convenient but not too much to see. Nice for a date or hangout with friends if you are new in the area. Keeps you out from the Arizona heat. More for children.

Michael Dun

Save a couple bucks buying tickets online - even the day-of will work. And if you come more than once a year the season pass is worth it.

Thanksgiving Day Adults get in for Kids Price when you purchase your tickets at the Admissions counter. Enjoy a fun craft activity and watch creatures eat their Thanksgiving meals, starting at 10:15am

Kari

People leaving tips about it being too expensive clearly don't understand how much money it costs to maintain an aquarium . Great place! Highly suggest visiting! (Also, it's only $18, cheapskates.)

Use some coupons and take a visit! Its not as huge as the Wildlife World Zoo but it is very convinient to NOT have to drive all the way to the Zoo . Much easier to come to the mall

Jordan Griffin

A little pricy but you can find coupons in the mall food court . Great place to take the kids when it's 100+ degrees out! Good selection of fish and predators. Check out the cow fish near the end!!

Dave

The excitement for the kids is worth the money. Great time for adults as well .

Marcia Q.

At the Tropical Bay of Rays area, people can bend down to take a closer look at the rays and small sharks through the tank's inner windows - these make you feel as if you're inside the tank.

SEA LIFE Arizona

This Father's Day Dads get in for the Kids Price ! Dads can purchase their tickets at the Admissions counter on Sunday, June 17th and receive admission for just $12- a savings of $6!

Amanda Santillan

We have the membership and think it's worth the value. It's nice to go whenever and for however long we want to. My 2 year old loves it.

Marcie Sparrow

Not bad for an aquarium in a mall in Arizona. They do need to update their exhibit signs and make it easier to know the names of the fish in the tank.

Greg Piazza

Don't miss Fry, the other sea turtle here besides Ziva, in the shoreline part of the aquarium .

Dan Nussbaum

This is a relatively inexpensive gem that is local. Forget going out to the Wildlife Experience unless you really want to drive halfway to LA.

Tempe Tourism

Buy your tickets in advance at the food court kiosk or online. You can move into the fast track line and enter quickly.

Deborah Gillaspie

My family of adults loved this along with family from out of town . Great place to go - <3

Great experience in Arizona, love it...

Drew Fullmer

Brand new rescued sea turtle has arrived! She's adorable! She's a green sea turtle named Ziva.

Germaine Martinez

I like the layout of this place but it's a little small and expensive .

Did you know? The world’s first public aquarium opened in Regents Park in London in 1853. Read more

Will

Good aquarium for little kids with short attention spans

Ted Pavlic

There are 2 lines , poorly marked, for people who bought tickets already or are waiting to buy tickets. If you arrive when both are empty and line up in the wrong one, Phoenix residents get mad &snarky

Jim Taylor

Great place to visit my 3 year and my 9 month old loved it

Jay Hartwig

Great place to take the kiddo!

Jeremie Lederman

Geeze folks, quit your whining. There's a damn aquarium in Tempe attached to a mall . If you want low priced fish , go to Lon John silvers... Wah wah

Cailin Koy

It's smaller than you might imagine, and bring a sweater.

Hollie Harrah Gorden

Definitely get a membership! It will save you money in the long run!

Zachariah Hoffman

Quite pricey for the time it takes to go through. Made it sound like they had more sharks in the "shark tunnel "

Ben Eby

Buy the tickets online and you save tons!!

Brian Jambor

Most of the reefs are artificial and they don't have a lot of live coral, but they do have a wide variety of saltwater fish .

Dina Vega

Tickets are half the price online!!

Chris F

There is tunnel ....through a giant tank of water !

Jeremie Lederman

It's the greatest zen spot in Tempe. It does cost more than the McDonalds Playland, but you can't have everything...

GotAdam

Gift shop has some decent pirate merchandise -- most items are $8+

ASU's Tempe Campus

You don't have to travel far to have fun!

Amelxa Fong

It's a bit humid.

Buy tickets online the day before. The lines are very long for tickets.

Szoke Steve

Get there early, long line wait just to get in.

Todd Lang

Make sure you use online coupons

Melanie Richards

Good luck dodging the old people with flash cameras in the poor fishys face!

Jennifer Berniger

Never pay full price!

leah viker

Expensive for 30ish minutes of sealift

Jason Brown

Address is 5000 not 500.
