Awesome aquarium. And it had hippos! Also a really nice shark tank that you can walk over on a road bridge. Several “petting” tanks, and two different penguin environments too. It’s as close as I have seen to the big one in Baltimore. Also has some amazing views of Philly from across the river.
Fun and very exciting. A lot of information and attractions. Hands on events at specified times - watching workers feed the hippos was very exciting and informational. Great area to look at outside the aquarium also!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
I love the ocean and the life it contains. So every chance I get, I love to visit the Adventure Aquarium. The staff is great. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The exhibits are cool and well maintained. The food is good. It’s just a fun time for the family. My granddaughter wanted to see the mermaid exhibit and she was so amazed. Try it out if you haven’t already. You’ll have a great time.
I went with my father in law and my two little sibling in laws 8 and 10. They had so much fun!! The staff were very helpful and informative, and many of the exhibits were interactive, such as touch pools and a tank with little window domes on the bottom for kids to stand in. And I can't help but commend the penguins for their performance that day: they weren't being led by a trainer, but they were very active and entertaining!
I absolutely love this aquarium! It’s especially lovely during the week if you want a less crowded experience. I generally visit a few times a year. They only downside I will mention is this: I recently visited for the first time after becoming disabled and the mobility options need improvement. They only had three mobility scooters available for the whole building and two of them were out of order. So just keep that in mind if you have mobility restrictions.
Lovely aquarium! Went to this aquarium on the weekend with a group of 5. The aquarium tickets were $43 per person.. Buy your tickets in advance for a slightly cheaper cost. There was an additional cost of $10 for parking… With an admission price so high, the parking really should be free! Upon arrival, I waited like less than 5 min to enter. They have reserved time slots- as per the website you can arrive within 30 min of your scheduled slot. Anyway the aquarium was nice! Best aquarium I’ve ever visited I’ve only gone to 3 but this one has so much to see. Obviously the fish & sharks were amazing but what was really awesome was the hippos, the touch tanks & the tank architecture the shark tunnel is a must see. They should really reduce the amount of tickets available per day because it was packed! There were so many people, they really need to manage the crowds better. Expect to see a lot of families and children running around. Parents need to manage their kids as it’s an aquarium not a playground.. anyway I did not eat at the site but they do have some food options, pizza, fries, chicken, coffees, & snacks.. After the aquarium, ppl can also take a walk in the surrounding area for a day of adventure.
Beautiful aquarium. They have several demonstrations, including penguin feeding and scuba divers in a shark tank. There are so many fish, sharks, and even hippos to see. They have an outdoor play area for kids that need to run off some energy during your visit. The parking lot is a quick walk across the street from the entrance. They also have strollers and wheelchair rentals if you need one while you are visiting. This is a wonderful place to visit.
Edit in response to a review that stated all of the positive reviews were from people who hadn't been to other aquariams. I have been to #1 in the US in Georgia, I have been to Baltimore and also in other countries. They are all different. This isn't the best we have been to but we had a wonderful time. I think that is what really matters. We had the best time here today! It was extremely crowded when we got here at 2 p.m but it thinned out quickly. We went through every exhibit but I especially loved the Shark Bridge and feeding the Hippos. The 3D Movie is a must and the Shark Tunnel as well. So many things to see and do here. The Hurricane Simulator was so neat. The Aquarium is very clean, the bathroom was spotless and every employee was friendly and helpful! It's a great family oriented place and I highly recommend it. Also, if you are going to walk the Shark Bridgemade of rope and nets don't wear flip flops! Will definitely be back!
Beautiful environment with most of the sea animals you can think of. Went as a group so we brought our own food, they have a variety of food sold there at the food court. Souvenir shop was a bit pricey but I got a few things. I loved walking through the shark bridge. Kids enjoyed themselves, especially the penguins and hippos !Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
Wonderful experience overall. We purchased our tickets ahead of time to beat the line. We went on holiday very early in the day and a pleasurable experience. There is parking across the street that we had to pay $10 for. There is a food court inside the aquarium and there are also food trucks outside. Nice family outing.
