Went to the Mystic Aquarium and had a wonderful visit. Very educational and many interesting sea creatures to view and learn about. Many exhibits one can touch the animals, the visiting children were all ecstatic while learning about ocean life and conservation. A big shout out to the food prep there, I had a BLT that was really amazing! I highly recommend a trip to the Aquarium, quite fun.
A smaller aquarium but fun for all ages. A normal visit will be about one to two hours depending on what you want to see. Everything is nicely organized and usually not over crowded. It's a great time for the family if they have an interest in aquatic life, with plenty of exhibits and interactive ones.
A very cute aquarium! The prices have gone up immensely but I know they are an intricate part to supporting and maintaining marine wildlife off our New England coasts. I wish the signage to the marine life had said where they were from. We love learning about where each animal comes from and there are not enough verbiage to educate. The staff needs to have a stronger voice to the ignorant and blatantly irresponsible patronage who do not follow the rules. Washing your hands, using the two finger pet rule and avoiding certain areas of the petting pools is so dang important. Repeating the rules in a passive aggressive manner does not make people listen. Back bones and strong representation to the aquarium recommended. Otherwise, a beautiful clean aquarium for the public to be enjoy. Kid friendly. Handicapable friendly. Educational to a point thanks to the staff.
It's smaller than the aquariums I'm used to going to, but it's amazing nonetheless. The beluga whales they have are absolutely adorable and I can look at them all day. Definitely recommend the sea lion show as well--educating and fun. Tons of interactive stuff, such as touching manta/sting rays and small sharks. There's also virtual reality in which my family got to explore tiger sharks in with scuba divers. Would love to go again.
Nice and fun aquarium! I loved the 4D experience about the Dinosaurs - 2 short movies, dinosaurs, frogs, lizards, a special spot for pictures with dinosaurs! I LOVE the belugas! The sea lions are great! You can pet the stingrays. So much to see and to do! Highly recommend! Get tickets online to avoid any wait. Also, if you get tickets togerher to Mystic Aquarium and Mystic Seaport Museum, you will significantly save! Plenty of parking. Nice shopping and restaurant area in the town around the Aquarium.
Visited on 3-13-22. Small indoor aquarium with larger outside. It’s very very cold outside dress warmly! We have visited Aquariums all over the US. Loved it here. Very friendly staff. Thought tickets were pricy but part of proceeds go back to feeding animals so was happy about it that. Will be visiting again! Make sure you see the sea otter show! It’s phenomena!
I LOVE this place. The whales are amazing. Facility is well-kept and easy to get to. Bathrooms are plenty and clean. Nice to be able to see exhibits inside and outside. Elevator access and ramps available. Food is quality, but a bit pricey. We brought our own drinks.
I’m sure many MANY others would disagree, but I didn’t find this to be… the best option for our dollar. You pay to get tickets to enter the aquarium. They are not “cheap” either, it was around $110 for 2 adults, and 2 children. BUT! Those tickets don’t give you access to everything in the aquarium. They have a handful of “side attractions” that require additional tickets, like the dinosaur exhibits. But there was an outdoor “touch tank” for stingrays that also required a ticket. Seriously, just up the price $10 per “entry ticket” and allow access to everything. As usual, this isn’t a “problem” for me, or an adult, but trying to explain this to the kids is definitely the issue. But hey, who cares, right? The aquarium doesn’t have to actually tell the kids “no” and see the disappointment. So no biggie.
Mystic Aquarium was a lot of fun. Not as many animals as I thought there would be but still very enjoyable. The penguins were my absolute favorite and their sea lions show was great. The food at the Aquarium was really good a little pricey but worth it. Huge gift shop!
A very nice aquarium, with amazing beluga whales, sea lions and penguins all outdoor,as well as the indoor aquarium. Disappointing that for the steep price, the virtual reality experience, as well as the dinosaur exhibit has additional expensive prices. Mostly helpful and friendly staff. Could have been a more information to when show and feeding times are.
