A delightful journey into the culture and nature of America’s largest river system. Walk aboard historic steamboats , interact with wildlife (stingray petting ), learn about river history & folklore.
There's a National Landmark Vessel in the harbor of the Boatyard Plaza , the William M. Black... whether it's history, boats or both you're interested in, you'll find it here at the Museum & Aquarium !
This museum continues to grow and add more exhibits all the time...so much more to see than the last time we were here - you almost run out of time to see it all. Definitely worth the admission cost!
My kids can't get enough of this place. Every time we visit we see something new.
Fun place for any ages. All kinds of animals and a rotating exhibit upstairs.
Parking is free, so this is a great place to drop your car off if you're in the Dubuque for a day trip.
It's feeding time at the Water Snake Cage (across from the Beavers in the Flooded Forest ) at 330pm. FREE LIVE Entertainment!!!
Takes a good two hours to see the entire museum . Great family experience!
A must do: Catfish Charlie's in Dubuque. You should check out the gator nuggets. To die for ..
The fresh and salt water habitats are very interesting
Very disappointing. Guide looked at me like I was crazy when I stopped her description of all of the aquarium attractions to ask about historical information about the river .
The fabulous Gift Shop is having a "Sizzling Sidewalk Sale" tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, June 27-29. Check it out! Read more
Pretty cool to check out. Short 4D movies are kind of cool
Get there before 3:30pm if you want to see Otters!
Awesome place! Great fun for the whole family!

Annual passes are the way to go here if you're local to the area.
Very clean restrooms .
The hotel next door is nice but more small kid oriented
They do not like children with disabilities and canceled our membership rather than talk to us about what they did.
