Sea What Guests Are Saying

This was the best aquarium I have ever been to. I'm so glad I went. They have species of fish and sea life from all over. Plus a lot of interactive things to do.
Maureen C.
OdySea Aquarium is an amazing experience! The exhibits are high quality, super clean, and the staff clearly cares about what they do... My 18-month-old daughter loves it and every visit is a hit!
Kyle K.
We had an amazing time at Odysea Aquarium! Arriving around 5 PM, we had plenty of time to explore all the attractions. My family and I truly loved our time together here. Highly recommend!
Jonathan K.
We've added this as our weekend go-to activity to stay out of the heat this Summer. Our 8 month old loves watching the jellyfish and penguins swim around which has been great entertainment for all of us.
Crystal P.
Great place for everyone to get out of the house, relax and learn something. Year membership is worth it. Lots more to do at the Boardwalk as well.
Douglas B.
The whole family loves it! The revolving aquarium was cool and calming. The restroom is definitely the best I have ever seen in my life!
Chrissy
We spent a good chunk of 3 hours in the aquarium, I am obsessed with the jellyfish! There is so much to see, we got to pet the stingray and watch them feed them as well as the little shark. This was a real cool experience worth every penny.
Chelsea G.
One of the absolute, best aquariums I've been to in the US. There's so much to see & do here you can literally spend 2 - 3 hours in this place & not get bored. Would definately recommend.
