Friendly and safe atmosphere for children of all ages. The children enjoy watching the fish being fed and petting the sting rays.

A cute aquarium nestled in Atlantic City. Its composed of three floors with an observation deck on third. Only the first two floors make up the actual aquarium so its quite small. There is a limited amount of sea life combined with some reptiles. The place shows signs of wear and the entire aquarium can be seen in 30 mins... More

The tanks were clean and the hands on were nice but not worth the money to get in. The staff was nice but the variety of fish were lacking. 4 year old had fun but 15 minutes later we had gone through the entire building.

Of course it doesn't have as much as Camden or Baltimore but it also doesn't have the crowds. My son could actually get close and see everything! No pushing your way through mobs of people!! The sting rays were like friendly puppies! We loved it and we were able to take our time and get up the courage to touch... More

Traveled to AC to visit aquarium. Our two year old grandson, Anthony, enjoyed the big tank. He would keep pointing out his favorite, the sea turtle. He was a little hesitant @ the ray tank, but he really enjoyed it. Yes, it is a small aquarium!!! However, one hour was all that Anthony needed to enjoy the variety of fish,... More

This is a VERY small aquarium in comparison to other large cities. But the friendly and knowledgable staff are TOP NOTCH. We took our 2 kids, 3 and 5, on a weekday, in March. If it weren't for the school class touring we would have been 4 of 13 people there. They were invited to join the tour and participate... More

I researched the ticket price beforehand so honestly, I was not expecting some huge aquarium…..the amount of time you spend here will be dependent on your children’s interest, because an adult alone will be less than impressed. My 8 year old nephew and I drove down to AC on a nice day to outlet shop, eat and check out the... More

This was a fun place. Geared more to kids but we enjoyed. You can pet and feed the sting rays in the open aqarium. Good way to spend an hour or so if the weather is poor

It was a nice aquarium but very small. More of a place to visit if you have children. We got to see baby sting rays getting fed which was pretty neat. Has 3 floors but the top floor is an observation deck.
