This was our second time visiting the aquarium and it was just as much fun, if not more, then the last time we came. The Dolphin Show is really fun to watch, there's so many different exhibits to look at. The touch tanks are located throughout the aquarium and have everything from stingrays to hermit crabs. Watching the Otters play in their tank is the best for me because I love otters. We were going to enjoy the splash pad that they have on site but our toddler got cranky towards the end of our aquarium visit so we didn't go to the Splash Pad but it looked like a lot of fun it's pretty large and there's a lot to do on it.

Admission is pricey but it's an awesome aquarium and worth it, especially when the splash pad is open -So make sure to pack a towel and swimsuit. My kids love to end their visit here. They've also got plenty of outdoor tables to sit and eat.
My 6 year old always loves catching the quick 4D movie. It's educational & always changing.
The newer addition has a great shark tank and a big dome where birds can fly around. It can get pretty steamy in there, so worth checking out before the day gets to hot.

Loved the Aquarium! Great place for kids and adults! Very educational and interactive. My 5 year old loved being able to pet the shark and sting rays. The splash pad is open but we did not go on this visit. The gift shop has a range of things to purchase at a reasonable price.

We got there around noon and the line seemed long but, it was moving pretty quick. It was great. Honestly we went at the end of March the weather was beautiful, the people were nice, restrooms are clean, didn't buy any food. All the aquariums were clean, there were plenty of fish to see. The line at the little Starbucks was kinda long but the drinks were good just like pretty much any Starbucks. We had a blast. My family loved it. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it.
How are you handling the exhibits during the hurricane?

Hello, we withstood Hurricane Harvey just fine, and our building and exhibits suffered no significant damage. During the storm, our animals were moved inside to be protected and looked after by our staff. We reopened to the public in late August and have been open daily ever since! We hope we can welcome you soon!
You can but it really isn't worth the hassle, people trying to walk don't like it, plus, I doubt babies in strollers will remember going to the aquarium but it's up to you :)
Honestly not sure, it is wheelchair accessible, but I dont recall them stocking them for seniors, I imagine you'd need to bring your own. There is seating throughout the aquarium if one needs to rest.
There are several shark tanks. There is also a walk through pictorial section with a ton of good information about various types of sharks. The Caribbean exhibit has the largest shark tank - you can walk around it (my opinion).
Hello Mark. We have several indoor and outdoor exhibits. In our newest and largest indoor addition, the Caribbean Journey, you will be able to find sharks swimming in a 400,000-gallon exhibit! You will also see flamingos mingle in a jungle lagoon, colorful coral reef, our 4D Theater, traveling exhibits and so much more. Please visit our website to learn more.
It is open, food service iz not at 100 %
Dolphin show is only during week days 11 am , 1 and 3 pm only.
And the splash area is open only on weekends.
I hope you have fun and that this information helps you!
God bless!

Is the aquarium open currently? I want to visit for my birthday on

It was still open last week with masks required. If you go to their website it will tell you if they are open. I just kept monitoring that until we went.
I was also there the first week of June and the show wasn't on. The dolphins played with a toy around their pool, but that was it. Mask where recommended not required. Don't be discouraged, they have plenty of interesting animals to see.
We went this past week and had a great time. They're limiting the amount of people they let in so it's not too hard to maintain a good social distance from others, and all staff members were required to wear masks. Although shows were canceled, every area had staff members who were eager to answer any questions we had about the exhibits and really helped make our time there enjoyable. They also still have dolphin training sessions that are not official shows, but if you catch one it feels like you're taking one in.
In Corpus in general though, like many beach towns, there are very few people other than staff members at establishments who are required to do so wearing a mask. Very laissez-faire attitude from locals and even visitors.
They may give a discount if you are a pass holder at another zoo/park. I think our tickets were 1/2 price because of San Antonio zoo annual pass holder we showed at the ticket counter.
My family and I (two kids:. 11yrs and 13yrs) spent 5 hours there and that was perfect. Saw the dolphin and bird show plus fed the rays. Got to see every exhibit without rushing with 15 mins to spend in the gift shop just before closing.
You have to pay to enter the aquarium. The prices are Free Members.
Adult (13 or more): $ 35.95
Senior (65 years old): $ 33.95 Military or student: $ 33.95 Child (3-12): $ 25.95
Children 2 years and under: Free
Parking: Free
I think it's $30 for each person. It's better to go to a State Park in Austin. It's a lot cheaper than going to the Aquarium. You can do kayak, picnic, swimming there. It's mostly mammals that you see at the aquarium. It's not very interesting!
How much is it for adults and children

I don't know. Just call them. It's the girlfriend of my son who paid for 3 tickets. My son said his girlfriend paid $30 for the 3 of us on weekdays that includes student and military discount. Ask what other discounts do they have. Bring yourself a backpack to bring your own snack because their food price is expensive. No food or drink allowed says on the sign but they don't check backpack or big purse

Kids 2 and under are free adults are $33 dollars IF you buy online, otherwise they are $35 per adult. Kid ticket is $24
I've gone on Sunday's before and have always paid full price. I'm not sure if they have any specials. Someone mentioned dollar days, unsure of what that means!
Adult prices are $35 children are $25 and children under the age of 2 are free. They do have dollar days but you have to be on look out for those days and plan to get there an hour before open because the line is ridiculous.
Yes, Her name is Xena she only comes out when it's time to eat . There is a baby boy there as well but he pretty much stays in hiding. We were there around 2 and 3 and got to see her eat.
I already know based off of their website they do weddings and receptions, I just want to know whether anyone has had theirs here and if its worth the $1000 they're quoting me. Thanks
There are so many different types of animals and sea life to see. There are also a lot of shows to see. You could spend about 5 hours easy, seeing every thing that there is to see. Don't forget to check out the 4D theater. There is plenty to do. You won't be disappointed. Also, the food is good at the cafe.
You can pre-order online and buy at ticket booth. I believe you may also buy special animal encounters online as well though they may be subject to scheduling. Also good to note, parking is free.
I'm sorry, I would not be the right person to ask. I think your best way to obtain that information is to call the aquarium directly for them to give you the answer.
You don't have to worry about it selling out, but if you really want to be able to see everything to include the live shows as well as the rD theater shows, get there When it opens. There is also a splash park includes in your ticket price.
There are a couple of places to stay in the area right around the attractions. But they are not very upscale at all. There are much nicer accommodations within a short drive. I would suggest staying downtown.
I can't seem to find this on their website. What do they have for you to do? How long is typically the whole exhibit?

There are shows at certain times. A Dolphin Show and encounter (encounters costs extra), Birds of Flight show, Stingrays, Scuba River (inside) and Sea Turtles. Plus a ton more exhibits to look at and interact with. There's a Splash pad park outside for the kids and a little cafe (pricey) and a gift shop. We usually need about 3 hours with small kids and if you want to catch all of the shows. Totally worth the money!
It's 35 for each adult, 25 for kids under 12, and free for kids under 2. If you go with 10+ people they have discounts. It's a lot of fun though. Our 18month old had the time of her life! Lol
35$ for adults
It includes 4D movies also and a dolphin show...
Yes you can make a member ship for two or three month.
Then you can go for reduced price🐬🐬🐬
