99% of the animals that they have are found can be purchased in the pet trade. To me it just wasn't worth the money and the people aren't that knowledgeable about the animals that they are working with

Way too overpriced for what you get. We literally walked through in 13 minutes and spent $80 for a family of four. Won’t be returning.

Questions & Answers

If spending 16 to 19 dollars is too expensive for a day out with the family, stay home and watch nature documentaries. You live in NEPA, how many interesting things can you do with the family around here for the same price? I'll wait....

Bo Zipori | Sep 29, 2019

100% correct. If any of your are smart you get the annual pass and you take your kids every few weekends. Something to do in these thcold Winters

Why are you people so cheap? I don't think the critters eat for free ! How much do you spend in a day at the mall? Stay home.

Kathy Decker | Sep 29, 2019
Randon Ceccoli | Sep 29, 2019

Cheap? You're funny. I happily paid 70 dollars for the Baltimore Aquarium. This place is SO small that it should be priced accordingly. Our 3 year old should not have been 17 dollars. Get a clue lady

I think locals should have a discount price. Anybody else agree?

Ashabella Smith | Sep 29, 2019
Frank Froese | Sep 29, 2019

No. It is a business. It costs money to run. Everyone complains there’s nothing to do in the area, they bring something in to do and everyone complains it’s too much.

You get a discount for all special events and invitation 1st to certain showings. Definitely worth it for the engaged family or active couple looking for social fun. The more like minded people joining, the better the events!!

It's free to stretch out your hand or fingers and touch them as they swim by in the shallow, waist-high (or so) tank. I wouldn't say you're petting them.

Electric City Aquarium & Reptile Den | Mar 2, 2022

Lisa, it does depend on your specific group as the aquarium is self guided. Most people spend any where from 45 minutes - 2 hours inside the facility. Please note that we do have education programing and touch tanks that happen throughout the day as well as feedings that happen on the weekends. The schedule can be found here https://electriccityaquarium.com/show-times/ which will allow you to plan accordingly. We want everyone to get the most out of their visit!

Am I able to cancel the tickets?
