4 stars based off of a general admission trip. Did not purchase the Dolphins, Otters, or Seatrek events. Overall a good experience. Check out the alligator decorations

Is it worth the price or is the new Orleans zoo better ,

Joyce Whetstine | Oct 15, 2021
Susan Petrey Carriker | Oct 15, 2021

Get a coast pass and visit several attractions to make the Aquarium cost effective. We paid $35 each for passes and visited two museums and then the aquarium and that was definitely worth it. The aquarium alone is not quite worth the admission price (and free parking is another challenge)

neal monter | Mar 19, 2022

2 Seinors was right at $50 but don't forget the $14+ parking fee. Henry Dorley Zoo in NE is world class, cheaper, and you can see 100 times the fish, birds, and animals.

How long is the visit once inside

Connie Mcmorris | Oct 15, 2021
Dawn Raymond | Oct 15, 2021

You can spend a couple of hours and see most everything, or take your time and stay all day. You're allowed to exit and return, so we left for lunch and spent the afternoon revisiting exhibits. The "touch tanks" for sea creatures was great for the kids, and the dolphin tank was one of our favorites

Can you go to the Aquarium if it's raining?

Susie Rippy | Oct 15, 2020
Adam Holley | Oct 15, 2020

Yes, most of the attractions are located inside buildings so slight rain won't effect your trip. The alligators, crocodiles, aviary, otters and some fish species make up the outside ascetic of the aquarium but a poncho or small umbrella would assist with that. As far as I know, only a legitimate storm or hurricane would close the property.
