Downtown Aquarium

A Ferris wheel, train ride, carousel, dancing fountains & tanks with hundreds of fish -- what more could a kid ask for? This virtual theme park offers a whole afternoon of child-friendly thrills. Read more

Nice place to spend some downtime at. Love watching the white tigers here. They are beautiful. Walking distance to Hard Rock Cafe .

If you think you may eat at the restaurant check the wait first & put your name in. If there's a long wait you can check out the rest of the action & you'll get a text when your table is ready.

Downtown Aquarium has its new suspenseful attraction , The Frog Hopper ! It goes up 22 feet in the air and it bounces its riders as it descends creating a safe but crazy ride for seven passengers. Read more

The train , lighthouse drop, Ferriswheel, and sea carousel are so addicting to ride and the stingrays are friendly . The tour is so descriptive and elaborate.

In the downtown aquarium restaurant , southern grilled fish was incredibly awful: However, Fettuccini Alfredo and natural hamburger were really tasty. service was perfect.

500,000 gallons of underwater tanks w/200+ species of marine life , a temple w/white tigers & a train that takes you into a tunnel w/live sharks swimming overhead...And that’s just for starters.

Where else can you dine with sea life in a urban setting. Ask for a tank-side table for a chance to have table-side fishy spectators...200 species of them!

Devin is by far the best waiter here. Haven't experienced others in a while but he was out standing. Took all suggestions and had an amazing time. Left a huge tip for him.

Seared Ahi Tuna salad is so good! Try it!

The restaurant is amazing!! Well worth the price. Tempura Mahi Mahi is to die for and the desserts are large and in charge but full of flavor. The fish are fun to watch too. YUM!

Get an all day pass (good value ). Stay away from endless money wasters scattered around the aquarium . Parking is $7. View from ferris wheel of downtown Houston is wonderful.

It is pricey but everything we ordered was very good...not great though. The shrimp embrochette was awesome however! Take the kids for the experience not top notch seafood

The outdoor rides are a great way to spend the afternoon after seeing all of the interesting aquatic creatures as well as a white tiger !

The Gulf Snapper has to be one of the best dishes here. Panfried just right and topped with lump crab meat , avocado pico and a lemon cream sauce !!!

The restaurant was a lil pricey but still very good & the aquarium even better. Especially if you're a fish/aquarium lover...such beautiful fish & tanks . Very clean & the staff was very friendly .

There Are a lot of really cool animals there is also a white tiger and alligators and stingrays that you can't touch and feed

Fish enthusiast? Then 500K gallons of aquaria is a must-see! Buy a CityPASS first with this Viator coupon. CityPASS saves you up to 41% on Houston attractions but the coupon will take off an extra 7%! Read more

We always have a good time every time. Great place to take a new baby to look at the fish and stay out of the heat!

White Tigers , seafood and a giant illuminated ferris wheel make this location a must see in the downtown Houston area.

The crab at the restaurant is excellent and the staff are so helpful. Gift shop is so great!

Kind of a seedy place. A lot of the tanks look like they're not kept up very well or large enough for the number/size of fish they contain. And the tiger is just sad.

That big Ferris wheel enticing you from I-45 and I-10 invites you to experience all the Downtown Aquarium has to offer.

Loved the white tiger exhibit !

Great family outing . Love the Ehite Tiger, he actually gave us a lot of attention :)

The 7-acre complex houses 5 themed aquaria, including a Louisiana swamp, the Amazon River , and a shipwreck. Features include an acrylic train tunnel running through the massive shark tank .

A nice cozy aquarium , complete with mini amusement park !

Aquarium is much fun back when I was in middle school , parent will enjoy taking their kids here especially their shark exhibit !

The food was good and the venue was awesome!

Coming here makes me miss REAL aquariums like Dallas and New Orleans. Of course this is better than no aquarium at all. You will feel out of place here if you are not a child or do not have children.

What a super amazing beautiful animal !!! White Tiger ! I think it is the only interesting part of that aquarium ...

White tiger and all exhibits are fun. Ferris wheel is out of commission these days

Kinda disappointed. Dallas Aquarium has WAY MORE bang for the buck and much LARGER. Cool nonetheless, stingray tank is awesome, you get to touch them as they try to jump out of the water.

25 miles from ELS - food, exhibits (sharks, white tigers , sting rays, etc.) with games & rides. www.AquariumRestaurants.com/DowntownAquariumHouston/

Definitely do the shark express train - it takes you through the giant overhead shark tanks

3yr old loved it, great for a family day out

This aquarium is quite mediocre. The saddest and most disappointing part are the white tigers . They are misplaced, appear visibly depressed and would be better suited in a larger enclosure in a zoo .

Ocean life, a ferris wheel, food and fun for individuals and families in Downtown Houston.

The giant Ferris wheel should tip you off: This is more than just a restaurant/aquarium. Inside, look for the white tigers living among a set of ancient Indian ruins. Powered by ParentsConnect.com

The train is so descriptive when describing sharks. The narration is great.

Very small aquarium , should be visited only if you have city pass

Get tickets for aquarium by the train and concession stand. Don't wait at the window by the entrance.

FUN! Buy the full package, if you buy the simple one it would be boring. The sharks are AWESOME!

Just had th cheesesteak on a hoagie .... Pretty darn good! Just ask for steak sauce .

The Wild Nights Overnight was a blast! Coral kept us entertained and Reef kept her under control.

The aquarium is worth the $10 admission and use your Landy card when paying for the food. Food and service was excellent - would eat here again

Go to the Aquarium , enjoy the fish , ride the shark adventure. Enjoy a ride on the ferris wheel that will show you an excellent view of all downtown Houston. Read more

Love the fact that the amusement park is connected to the sidewalk system along Buffalo Bayou.
