Oklahoma Aquarium provided exactly what we needed for a hot summer day! Our great experience began before we even went inside! There were great photography opportunities with the Statues and the giant Adirondack chair in the front entrance. The employees at check-in were friendly and personable and answered many questions. They even give you a commemorative sticker of your choice for a $1 donation! We enjoyed the many submersive experiences! We crawled into tunnels which took us inside the tanks. The Shark Tunnel was amazing with sharks swimming all around us and directly overhead. We thoroughly enjoyed the 3D shark adventure for an extra $10 -- it was worth it! We petted the sting rays and were able to touch other sea creatures. The restaurant was good, I recommend a fresh, made-to-order sandwich with a beer. I highly recommend the Aquarium for a fun adult or family adventure!
One of the nicest aquariums I've visited. It is a good size with a number of excellent exhibits. The signage for each is very well done so you can identify each fish on display and done key facts. The shark tunnel was awesome. Some other highlights are the stingray touch tank, moon jellyfish touch exhibit, the carousel and kids play structure. A great diversion for a morning or afternoon.
I had a fantastic time at the Oklahoma Aquarium! The building itself is impressive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The highlight for me was definitely the mesmerizing shark exhibit. It was a thrilling and educational experience. Highly recommend a visit!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
I was impressed with the amount of aquatic life on display, both local freshwater, as well as from around the world saltwater. I didn't have time to take in the entire aquarium, as I was there primarily to view the fireworks display from the back lawn of the aquarium, but what I had time to see was presented well. There are lots of "hands on" things for kids to do/touch. The outdoor play area is really nice to "get the sillies out" if kids get bored inside. Overall, quite a "must-see" for both visitors and locals! It's pricey for a larger family, but worth it in my opinion to help teach kids and adults about nature and the amazing world around us!
This Aquarium has stepped it up over the last couple years! I cannot believe how amazing it is now! Literally not only do they have so much more here now, but the vibe is so spot on. Is extremely clean, and the blue led's everywhere really sets the mood! All the attractions here we're really cool! We had a blast! The shark tunnel is a MUST SEE! Was so cool to see the sharks swim over you! Overall we had an amazing time here today and will definitely be back!
We've been here twice, about 6 years apart. We really enjoy it! It takes us about 2 hours to see the exhibits. Our favorite ones are the large fish aquariums, we usually spend most of our time just watching them.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
What a fun experience! We have been before but it always seems fresh and clean. The kids loved the multiple tunnels that took them into viewing areas inside exhibits. The VR shark dive experience additional $10/person was a hit! They even took a ride on the carousel which was very nice and spacious for adults to be with their kids additional $3/person.
We had a great time at the OK Aquarium. The kids enjoyed seeing and learning about all of the aquatic life they have there. There are 3-4 touch tanks and a couple of feeding tanks. You have to pay extra to feed the turtles a d stingrays. The shark tunnel is one of the highlights of this aquarium and there is a playground outside to let the kids run around and burn some energy if you need them to. The bathrooms were well kept up and everything is easy to find. There’s a large I door carousel when you walk in. I don’t know how much it costs because we didn’t ride it, but it did look really nice. My only complaint is that I noticed a lot of dust when I looked up, otherwise we had a great 3 hours exploring the aquarium.
We decided to go to the Aquarium on an impulse. We really enjoyed our visit. The place is well kept and the variety of displays are interesting and very informative! We learned a lot about some of the local fish and animals. The cafe serves a decent burger and the staff throughout the facility is knowledgeable and friendly. We definitely recommend this place!
