At least 2 hours, 3-4 would be preferable

Sharon Sprouse | May 7, 2022

Most of the day. Especially if you bring your kids. Lots of fun interactive games for kids to help them learn about the ocean and conservation.

Malkom Kidd | May 7, 2022

We were there for approximately 4 hours. You can see the entire place in two hours, but seeing and enjoying are two diffrent things. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

With small children, it can take the whole day. Adults could probably do it in half a day.

You could walk through the entire aquarium and have a quick look at everything in two hours, but many of the exhibits are worth taking the time to really stop and LOOK. Every time I stop and really look at an exhibit, I find new things. I would recommend a full morning or afternoon - and depending on your interest, even longer. (You can eat in the Aquarium cafe, or get a hand stamp, go out for lunch and then return.)

As long as y want

Shelly Charlton | May 7, 2022

Depends on the pace you wish to soak it all in. You can see it all in two hours or you could easily spend four hours spending time enjoying each exhibit.

Lily Ochoa | May 7, 2022

About 3 hours there's lots to see

Cara Bella | May 7, 2022

Depending on how in depth you go into the buttons and reading the signs, but from 2 - 6 hours.

Marcus Watson | May 7, 2022

From Mesa, Arizona 12 hours, on hwy 5, by route of Interstate 10

A quick walkthrough is just over an hour if you hit every exhibit quickly. There's a theater that plays 15 minute long videos every half hour, so to see all three takes about 90 minutes if you schedule a meal or look at the otters between showtimes. The guided back of the house tour takes an hour by itself.

I would say you can go through most of it in 2 to 3 hours

A day if you want to catch the interactive exhibits like otter feeding and the scuba diver in the kelp tank. Membership pays off with two visits, so you can spend half a day and go when not super busy. Touch pools, aviary and the jellyfish exhibits are favorites and we see them everytime. That would be an hour in itself. Walking through the larger shark pool, and the tanks leading up to the aviary are interesting. Who can find the octopus first?? From the outside deck, there's always some wildlife, ranging from a variety of local birds and mammals. We had sea lions checking out the water outside and in the far distance (through the telescopes) you could track a pod of dolphins. Bringing kids, I've sat an hour watching them play in the kids zone. Penguin feeding, waiting to get in that little bubble to feel like you're in the exhibit.

At least 2 hours.

DeeDee D | May 7, 2022

Three hours (if it isn't too crowded) gives you time to read the information at each exhibit and sit and relax and observe

Ray Stanley | May 7, 2022

I agree 3 to 4 hours sounds right...

Damon Pope | May 7, 2022

Two to three hours. Could be more if you read all the exhibits.

Lillian C | May 7, 2022

Generally 3-4 hours, although it can be shorter or longer depending on how crowded it is

Patricia Fermon | May 7, 2022

Less then 5mins

Juliana Lam | May 7, 2022

Each one has a different experience, if you go alone it is around 2 hours, if you go with children you will stay around 4 hours. I would advise going during the week days, the weekends get super crowded and you don't enjoy it much.

Jacq von Jacq | May 7, 2022

You can Make your own experience very short, or you can make it long... it depends how these sea life amuses your attention.

Dilip Vadgama | May 7, 2022

About 3 hrs

Tolga Yaprak | May 7, 2022

It takes about 2hrs

Bronxlyn Born | May 7, 2022

Take your time and enjoy each and every exhibit, and shows... don't put a time limit on your pleasure...closes at five... worth every minute of it...

Andalaine (Andalaine) | May 7, 2022

Take at least 3-4 hours and enjoy it.

Mariana Becerril | May 7, 2022
