Reviews for Downtown Aquarium in Houston, TX
Fun place for an at most half-day experience. Was there for 2 1/2 hours with an all-day pass. I highly recommend getting the... all-day pass if you have children under the age of 10. There's several kid rides and their most popular is the shark train. That was very fun. The stingray reef is fun too. You get to pet the stingrays and even feed them (pay some $) if you want. There are clear posted instructions and staff on hand to guide you on proper feeding. Parking is a bit pricey (self-park $15)but there's plenty of space. Read more
Great spot for the entire family. Visiting from out of town and you will spend extra money buying other things. My family loved... seeing the fishes, tigers and feeding the sting ray. The best part is you?ll ride a train and go through a shark tunnel. Veryinformative and I have never seen a saw shark in person before. So seeing that magnificent sea creature was a treat. While wewere there, divers were making sure tanks are clean and keeping it nice. I recommend taking swim clothes and a towel for thekiddos who want to play in the splash pad. Read more
It was a great experience! We got there at noon left at 6p. He did a lot of fun things like touch and feed the... stingray?s. Suggestions Pay online and wait at VIP line to get in faster, bring a cheap stroll so you can move in between thecrowds. There?s a small splash park to cool the kids off Read more
I loved it there. Beautiful fish, sharks and sting rays and more. A little bit high in food prices but well worth going. There... gumbo is awesome. Very kind waitress. Definitely wanna go back again and I highly recommend anyone to come to this place!! Read more
We had a great time at the aquarium. It was a beautiful day and there weren't many people. They have amazing exhibitions. Our... favorite was the one with the sharks and the tiger. You have to take the little train to be able to see the sharks so that's anice and different experience. The whole area was clean and the animals looked well taken care of. I'll definitely would goback. Read more
So much fun, and very educational. Went for my birthday, and bought the all day adventure pass (best value for sure! Highly... recommend!) It was so nice being able to see all the exhibits, and ride all the rides as much as we wanted! My inner child andouter adult was very pleased! Read more
My wife and I visited here recently after reading several reviews. We were surprised that the reviews were more accurate than... we had expected. While there were several families visiting when we did it still wasn't terribly crowded. We could enjoy allthe exhibits and didn't have any problems viewing the fish and tigers. Unfortunately, due to the weather we were unable to seethe shark exhibit. We also didn't get to feed the stingrays due to it being very busy with families. Overall we had anenjoyable time and would consider visiting again. Read more
