My family and I have been to quite a few aquariums around the US at this point, and this one is by far one of the best! The habitats and tanks are all very clean and well maintained and the animals all seem happy.  The layout is fantastic. Separated by region, it allows someone to really immerse themselves in the differences of species and habitats in each area. My favorite exhibit was the honey bees! So cool to see them in action up close.  There are also several interactive exhibits for the whole family, and specifically my small child enjoyed each one. The virtual experience is definitely worth doing, even if there is a wait. Go for it!

Worth it. This was a really unique experience for me because of the exhibits they had. They had so many plants and a dessert place. All these various environments you can find in various places in Utah. It is a bit pricey. Definitely check out the virtual reality experience. It was such a fun thing I’ve never done before. Very family friendly! Perfect for dates.

Real pricey, but worth it. Definitely buy tickets in advance if you know you want to go on the website you can buy cheaper tickets up to 3 or 4 weeks in advance. But my kids had a great time looking at all the exhibits and playing on the playground outside. The jungle gym inside cost extra, but is worth the couple extra dollars. It’s super fun for kids and helps them get their energy out.

For the most part, the place is okay. The aquarium is the saving grace... I can't hardly stomach how much this place costs for what you get. HOWEVER, there are big things coming... let's hope they are worth the current cost of entry, but I have a feeling these guys are going to ask for your legs to see the new attractions cause why not... they already got your arms! Consessions inside are also expensive... cost of entry and goods to time spent is a poor ratio. Better off with the family elsewhere.

My 14yo  son and I loved this experience. They are so much more than just an aquarium. We were able to see and learn about a ton of different animals, aquatic and otherwise. The layout is fantastic and very engaging. Even the food at the Cafe was good.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

We’ve been to quite a few aquariums in and out of state. This one by far is the cleanest and has the nicest setup. You start at one side and it wraps around and feeds into other zones. Our favorite is the jelly fish and shark tank. The kids love the sting ray petting tank and jungle room.  We visited on ZaP day and it was so busy! Definitely a good deal and we love to support our locals zoo programs, but the aquarium is better on a slow day when you can actually walk through each exhibit. Other than that, 5/5 experience with staff and other patrons.

Went into the experience not expecting as much as we got! This aquarium is awesome! There’s a new exhibit around every corner and we spend about 2.5 hours there and my wife was enthralled with pretty much every exhibit. If you’re thinking about going… DO IT!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30

IMPORTANT: Plan your EECO Voyager show when/before you get there. We tried to do it, but we didn't discover it was even a thing until we had to leave, and therefore couldn't squeeze it in. It's included in your admission, but you need to have a reservation, so ask about it as you enter.  We finally went to this aquarium and we were super impressed. I saw so many things here that I've never seen elsewhere. The sea-life is awesome, but equally impressive are the life-sized replicas or wall decals of large deep-sea animals, like the huge sunfish or the sperm whale in the deep-sea area. The shark tunnel was the best I've been in, and actually made you feel like you were underwater. Also a good assortment of non-marine life, our favorite being the macaw and sloth.  Definitely worth the money.

Beautiful place to be. Learn about the sizes of the fish and sharks. Walk with them and even pet the stingrays. Best place to have a date or take the kids. Absolutely loved it and plan to be back once that extension is done. Very excited for that!

I love this aquarium! I've been here multiple times, and they are always so kind, and helpful, and the animals are all always very obviously well cared for. Their enclosures are always clean, and the animals all look well fed and cared for. My most recent visit, I brought my friends with me, and one of them brought their service dog along. The staff were all kind and professional regarding my friend's service dog, and the place is friendly for disabled people. I definitely recommend this place if you haven't already visited!
