Fantastic experience: First time to visit and would definitely do it again. The kids had so much fun. Since I do have a special needs daughter, I look out for our community. Sea Life Grapevine is wheelchair friendly. Everything is open inside for all to see. The peak through tunnels are the only issue inside, as the child has to be removed from their chair if possible to look through, but you can the fish without doing the peek bubble. Handicap bathroom is large, but only has a changing table for babies. I added the $7 tour behind the scenes. Our tour guide was amazing and what we saw was worth the price; however I wouldn't buy it again it. Tickets were less on their website compared to Groupon. We had 3 adults, 3 kids, 1yr old who was free. I ONLY paid $179 and this included behind the scenes. It was a fun-filled day with my kids.

Positive experience: We here a couple weeks ago. My friend had his kids birthday party there. We had a private room to celebrate and have fun activities for kids and everyone. It was pretty nice just make sure you know the rules first we wasn’t aware we could separate to go to the aquarium until we were done with the birthday but it all worked out anyway. The people there were nice and helpful. When we went to the aquarium, it was pretty nice and bigger than expected. Just know there are other kids there so it can get crowded at times but in the end, it was still fun. In case you looking for it it’s next to the Lego place.

Fantastic experience: Great experience!! All the staff is knowledgeable and friendly!! Claire is a sea turtle expert!! So much info and friendly. Thanks for a great experience!! Touch tank had dad jokes!! Loved it!!

Crystal Ornelas 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: We were looking for something to do indoor as it’s hot in Texas in June. We found sea life and it was a great experience with our little one. He enjoyed all the aquatic animals. He was able to touch a starfish. We will be returning, thanks to the staff on making this experience worth it.

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful aquarium! My son loves coming here! Staff is always pleasant also, and always very clean. The turtle activity is a hit or miss, as the machines sometimes don’t work. But overall, a great experience.

Holly Blackwood 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful aquarium! They have a really nice collection. The animals were wonderful and we enjoyed the detailed theming and educational experience throughout the visit.

Nick Kramer 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Great layout. Decent value for money compared to other attractions.

Maggie Gutierrez 3 months ago

Positive experience: If you have little kids, it’s really fun. I would say kids under six would appreciate it but any kid over six is not gonna like it go to a real aquarium if you have older children it’s pretty lame for them.

Madam K 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Took my son for the first time. Its really nice and has a upstairs also. My son really liked it. They have a gift shop at the end.

Jeannet 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Upon arrival, I didn't expect to see much here as I thought it would be small, but there was so much sea life to see. There was no wait time, and I paid about $54 since it was my self and another adult. It was very clean and well organized.One of my favorites was the jellyfish. There was a mermaid, which was awesome. There was also a section to touch live star fish. I will be visiting here again and definitely recommend going here if you enjoy sea life/ aquarium adventures.

Libby O’Connor 3 months ago

Positive experience: This aquarium is basically in a mall. With that in mind, it was a cool experience, but not one I would be willing to pay full price for. We went on a special day that allowed our group to get in at about 60% off, and I thought that was a fair price for the variety that we saw. I understand that comparing SEA LIFE to larger aquariums (like the Monterrey Aquarium) isn’t quite fair because of size, entry cost, etc., but I didn’t feel that the variety of marine life we saw at SEA LIFE was much different than what the Dallas zoo has. The displays were very neat and provide an experience the zoo doesn’t: I love walk through tunnels, and my kids liked the viewing bubbles, but it did seem like we were seeing many of the same species of fish in all the displays. I would recommend visiting SEA LIFE if you have small children and if you can get significantly discounted entry. For our family, I think we’ll just visit the aquatic section at Dallas zoo next time.

matt brown 3 months ago

Negative experience: it's pretty expensive for a lackluster exhibit. The staff they look about as enthused as deathrow inmates. Just go to Cabela's. It's free to get in and the fish are just an entertaining

Allison 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: What a delightful experience at this aquarium! The exhibits are amazing, I especially loved seeing the sea turtles. The touch pools were interactive and fun. Susan made the experience SO much better with her friendly attitude and knowledge on all the sea life! I definitely recommend this place!

Dan Xiong (DanX) 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: We come here annually sometimes multiple times a year because my son loves aquariums. This is definitely better than Dallas World Aquarium which is more like an indoor small animal zoo with aquatics mixed in. Parking can be pretty bad if you're trying to find parking near the aquarium entrance. It can get busy here and depending on when you go there may be a lack of staff if you have questions. Tickets are scheduled and when it's busy they are pretty strict about sticking to that time on the ticket. Still a fun place to go if you're looking for an actual aquarium in the DFW. Not as big and complete as other aquariums in other cities but does a good enough job that we come back every year.

A E (Blink) 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great place, all the staff is friendly and kind. I usually go alone and sketch so I take more time than a normal person visiting, that being said it is not a small place. I'm always very impressed by the cleanliness of the tanks, some of the fish look like they were at some point hurt/sick but you can very clearly tell they're thriving at the aquarium. I took a tour to see the behind the scenes and my guide was a great sport! Very knowledgeable and didn't mind answering all of my silly questions. I am child free and sometimes it's hard to enjoy public places without being accosted by children, there isn't a ton of interactive activities but it seems they always have some kind of fun little event going on like playing dress up with mermaids or the room that has the 'design your own fish' lots of good things here.

Positive experience: It’s a fun place for kids .good collection of aquatic animals.Easily spend more than hour here .Good to go there on weekdays

Dillon Reynolds 3 months ago

Positive experience: Place is amazing. Super clean, super fun. I do feel like I cost to much. It was 100 dollars for three adults and a toddler and a 1 year old. But for 75 our same group was about to go to the Fort Worth zoo so it just felt very over priced for the size, that being said, for the size it is a great aquarium and perfect size for toddlers

Jennifer Vitrano 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Surprisingly cool for a random mall aquarium. Had really knowledgeable and friendly staff (shout-out to Andrew and Kobe for helping educate everyone!) that obviously seem to enjoy their jobs. Animals seem content and well cared for. The place is clean and has a cute gift shop with lots of axolotl stuff. Definitely check out the 360 tunnel and look for the sharks under your feet!

Adam Blanchard (Nova Sky) 3 months ago

Negative experience: Sea turtle tank and caiman tank had like 4 red tail catfish that can get huge and were obviously unhealthy because they had no room to grow. Also I didn't pay for the PhotoPass and they still printed out my photos which feels really wasteful especially for a place that's trying to educate about the environment. The aquarium itself was fine though.

Stacia Ashman 3 months ago

Positive experience: Bittersweet visit. It’s so packed you can’t breathe or move around and people are rude. I can’t believe they can allow so many people in there and it not be dangerous. There’s literally no room to move around and there’s so much waiting to get by people who dodge in front of you. You do not get to enjoy your $30 per adult ticket, rather, you’re paying to enter an exhausting hell. The aquarium itself is beautiful if you get to look at any of it. My baby got to see and enjoy a little bit so that’s what made it worth anything. My guess is greed is what’s keeping it ridiculously packed.

T E 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: We did the vip mermaid experience and it was a blast! Every staff member was so amazing - front check in, makeup artists, the mermaids, the tour guides through the aquarium- everyone made the girls feel so special. We’d come back to the aquarium too on a normal day…we learned a lot and there’s lots to see.

Paola Mendez 3 months ago

Negative experience: Not sure how this place has a 4.5 review. It’s not worth the money. 2 adults 1 child 80$. NO REFUNDS. The only thing “fun” was touching a star fish or two with one finger and nothing else. Seeing the mermaids was pretty cool other than that there’s nothing much to do. People say it’s very clean which is it but you’re not allowed to touch anything. It’s probably for older kids but even as an adult it wasn’t fun. You can walk the whole within 10-15 minutes. Save your money for Lego land or peppa pig world.

David Cancino 3 months ago

Negative experience: 2 adults 1 child 80$ the whole experience was very disappointing. Definitely not worth the price. You get to touch some starfish with one finger and wait in line for 15 minutes. That’s pretty much it. You can walk it within 10 -15 minutes. Kids get bored just watching fish. The only thing that was fun was seeing the mermaid and the turtles. Better save your money for Lego land or peppa world. NO REFUNDS.

Jennifer Jones 3 months ago

Negative experience: Went to see the mermaids at the aquarium. Price said 19.99, but when we got there, the price was 24.99. Strike 1. We go in, and there's a line in a long line. Strike 2. Finally, get in and guess what? There's only one mermaid, and she has an oxygen tank. That's right, nothing like the ad or the news profile, which shows a mermaid interaction with children. I really want my money back. But I'm a good sport because I just am. SMH. Next time, I'll wait for reviews. I feel like I got swindled. The first photo is the mermaid with her oxygen. The second one is the mermaid in the advertisement. Look, no oxygen tank, and she's interacting with the children. The one in the first picture flipped my grandson off when he waved to her.

YP L 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Buy ticket in advance and combo with Lego discovery to save money. My 6yo liked it and enjoyed the "Sea turtle rescue center" very much. We spent about 2 hrs+ inside.

Dennis Graham 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I went to Sea Life with my sister for the first time for both of us. Avd we had a good time seeing all of the various types of sea life, learning something about them from both the very nice employees and the information guides that can be found as you walk thru the different stations. My only complaint is the EXTRA Costs to see a few of the Other stations. But I suppose it's just part of trying to keep the place in business as well as the feeding and caring of not just the creatures on display but for the people employed there. But it can get very expensive in a rather short time. So it's a good idea to bring enough money with you to deal with that issue. My sister and I kept our visit pretty short as we were pressed for time. But it was worth the time and effort.

Ape 3 months ago

Positive experience: Located in the Grapevine mall. It's ok... and bigger than what you would think. A bit pricey...tanks seemed a little repetitive. My 2-year-old liked it. The touch ponds were a joke...at the time only ONE starfish was available to touch.

An L 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent! We had a wonderful time. The aquarium is a good size. Bigger than I thought. Has 2 aquarium tunnels you walk through. It's fun! Wasn't busy at all. Bathroom is clean. Cool stuff at the gift shop. Very nice. One thing though is that it's quite expensive.

Daniele Lilly 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: The setup is great. Way bigger than looks from outside and for being in a mall. Many species and interactive attractions. Each tank has touch screen to tell you what and about is in exhibit. An amazing thing about this place is they also rehab animals. All the turtles were refused and being tended to injuries and put into safe tanks with other fish. Price is just slightly high, however, taking into consideration the recuse and rehab program, it's worth every dime.

Christina A Ramos 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: We were celebrating my granddaughter's prek graduation and we enjoyed the atmosphere and food and each others company.

Melody tran 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I loved it. This is my 3rd time this year & I always have a blast. We got to see a sea turtle for the first time this last visit.

Leslie Crowe 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: We have gone before but in May there are a ton of field trips going on for the end of the year. We could not really hear or enjoy our time here due to tons of screaming kids all at once in small areas but, we still managed to go through it and get somethings learned.

Steven Palma 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Had fun with my kids and wife you need to go to an aquarium and take your kids this is one of the best things

Andy Lee 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: This place is an absolute blast. We took my son for his birthday and he had an amazing time. On the weekends it is a little busy so be prepared for that. We spent an extra $7 for him to have a adventure pack were he had to collect stamps and other things. Lots of aquatic creatures to see.

Fantastic experience: This was an awesome outing. So fun colorful exciting and creative. Loved the maze layout friendly service and the prices were not too too high.

Nancy Schneider 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Very cool aquarium very thoughtful of the kiddos with all of the activities for them to do.

Billy Flores 4 months ago

Positive experience: Kinda overpriced but still worth the experience in my opinion. Kids will have fun and the tunnel with the fish is pretty neat.

C Marie 4 months ago

Positive experience: This is a fun place to visit. Staff in the aquarium area are knowledgable. As a member, I fpund it frustrating that the prices continually change (as I bring grandchildren.) The membership perk of 40% guest admission, doesn't make sense when prices fluctuate (40% off an unknown prices is ambiguous.) Also, watch the kiosk as it doesn't always calculate 40% off even with the proper code. It would be nice if members could purchase additional tickets online before arriving.

Dee TK 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: It was my first time and my daughter to visit this place, it was a school field trip. In my own experience and as well as my daughter, we had an amazing experience. I’d definitely go again but with my entire family. It was clean, the staff were friendly and very welcoming. Best school field trip ever!

Jacob W. Dannen 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Expensive, but really cool! Kids and adults both love it. Buy tickets at least one day in advance for a discount

Jeffrey James Porter 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Nestled within the Grapevine Mills mall, offers an immersive underwater journey that's both educational and captivating for visitors of all ages. It provides a welcome escape into the serene and fascinating world beneath the waves, making it a worthwhile stop for families and marine life enthusiasts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Sophia Puterbaugh 5 months ago

Positive experience: LOVE!! Go earlier in the day, otherwise it gets packed with kids. The staff is so helpful and educational. I wish it was less crowded.

Harry Sidhu 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: We celebrated our child's birthday here. All of the kids (ages 2-9) enjoyed the experience. The aquarium is very clean, well maintained, and child friendly. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Tessa Kight 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sealife was such an awesome experience, and there is so much for the kiddos to experience! Price wise I think it’s worth it, we purchased the three park package (Sealife, Peppa pig, and Legoland) so we got it a little bit cheaper in a way. I do not think you have to buy in advance, but I know some days there are deals for advanced purchase etc. It wasn’t like extremely busy but it’s such a large place that I don’t think I’d notice if it was! This place is perfect for kiddos of any age, there are also accessibility elevators & ramps for those in walkers, strollers, wheelchairs etc. The staff seem to be very educated in the animals & ecosystems, there were many times my son asked questions and they always had answers! There are lots of interactive things for the children to do, from learning about sea life on the big screens, the turtle races, popping their heads into glass bubbles of their enclosures, and to top it off- touching the starfish! Perfect way to get the kids out and learn something new! 10/10 will be bringing my kiddos back here!

Ashley From Brownsville 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to take the kids. Lovely hands on turtle and sea urchin exhibits. Great place to take a break and color before heading to the gift shop.

Jason Hayes 5 months ago

Positive experience: Sea Life Grapevine Aquarium was a pleasant surprise—it’s bigger than it looks from the outside, with a good variety of marine life throughout. The layout takes you through different underwater environments, and the exhibits are engaging without feeling overwhelming. The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. There were several hands-on experiences that helped keep them interested, like touch pools and interactive displays. It’s a well-organized space that’s easy to navigate, and we appreciated the mix of education and entertainment. Overall, it’s a great indoor activity for families, especially if you’re looking for something both fun and low-key. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Shonda J 5 months ago

Negative experience: It was okay. This place is extremely old and out dated. I kept seeing the same kind of fish in different tanks. Also it’s very overpriced for a 30 minute or so walk around. They also charge $35 for two photo print outs. Just wasn’t impressive at all, won’t be returning. I am not sure how they have almost 5 stars.

Katie Perez 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best aquarium in DFW! I think it’s even better than the Dallas aquarium for young kids. There’s so much to see and interact with. My toddler loved it and all of the opportunities to feel like you’re in the tanks with the fish. Highly recommend!

Harvey Maynor 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Mills looked really cool, and it’s pretty awesome to have a full aquarium inside a mall. The entrance and displays I could see from outside were inviting, and it seems like a great place to take a break from shopping. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to go in this time, but it’s definitely on my list for the future!

Quel Holland 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Took my teenage kids and wife here, and everyone enjoyed themselves. We also enjoyed how knowledgeable and engaging the staff were. We definitely will go again.

Destinee Santos Hernandez 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Definitely go on a weekday so you get a better experience. The weekends tend to be more crowded. I also recommend the groupon as you can save and bundle sealife and Legoland. It's a great experience for the Littles in your life. Tons of side activities and fish to see.

Pita 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: It's beautiful and the staff is nice.

Rachel Shin 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: It's a well-designed and well-equipped aquarium for its size. Both of my kids had a blast, and even I enjoyed the exhibits a lot. The staff at the photo pickup was also very helpful and super friendly. We will definitely come back next time!

Ryan Phillips 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience - wonderful staff! Kiddos especially enjoyed the VR experience

Tamara Sharp 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: It was busy but we had a great time, such a beautiful place

Nikki Ruiz 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: This was well worth the money. So many cool things to see and do. The best part was walking through the tunnel and the fish all around you, even including the floors. Our niece loved the turtle section where she was able to rescue, bring back to health and then release back to its home.

Randi Wise 6 months ago

Positive experience: Very busy, which detracted from the experience. It was very hot and claustrophobic in the first half of the aquarium. They did have some areas of cool technology interactions for kids.

Katie Schongar 6 months ago

Negative experience: My trip to the aquarium was fine, after we left I was looking at their website and noticed they did birthdays. I have been attempting to call the number for 2 months now and left messages letting them know I was calling for more information on the top birthday package with the mermaid (had one question prior to booking that I couldn’t find online). Not a single call back and it doesn’t matter if you call back to back 15 times or just once- no one ever answers the phone. Missing out on $450+ seems silly from not answering the phone or returning a call.

Megan Myers 6 months ago

Positive experience: Located in a mall and across from Legoland (which you must have a child present to enter), SEA LIFE is also very geared towards children. They managed to pack a good amount of aquarium into a relatively small space and their educational/interactive elements were very neat. Was a fun way to spend forty or so minutes, but not sure it was worth the $23 entry as an adult.

Michelle Houston 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: It's very interesting & plus there are people who tell interesting facts about the sea life.

Tina 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: It was my first time in the aquarium. It was a beautiful experience for me as well as the girls! They loved it!

Zach Carpenter 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Me and my girlfriend visited over the weekend, the aquarium itself was super cool, had quite the variety of aquatic animals and was a really fun experience in general. With that being said, the best part was definitely the additional/optional $7/per-person (a very modest price) behind the scenes tour. I believe our tour-guide's name was Benjamin, and he was incredibly passionate and well versed on everything aquarium and sea-life related. We asked him a ton of questions about the specifics of various animals/aquarium operations and he was happy to give us an in-depth answer to all of them. His contagious passion and interest, along with his encyclopedic knowledge cannot be understated and was the easily the highlight of our visit.

Priscill D Lou 7 months ago

Positive experience: It was wonderful. I gave it short a star because all the hand sanitizers were empty!!! So many kids .. Hand sanitizer should have been priorities of it all with all these viruses going around ... We did a birthday party there ..

Takara Richey 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Initially, an aquarium in a mall sounded unappealing, but I was pleasantly surprised by the size and variety. The exhibits are beautiful, and the sea turtle rescue activities are really interesting. It's worth the money even if you don't purchase the bundle with Legoland and Peppa Pig World.

Amy Christine 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Definitely go at opening and not around lunchtime, that is when everybody decides to come in for the day. Extremely kid, friendly and baby friendly. They had really neat lights on the floor and the walk-through tunnel was exciting for our eight month old.

Whitney N 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: The employee Carlos is the reason for the 5 stars not the aquarium itself. He was very interested in educating me and my family on the aquatic life they had and shared facts we did not know. He delivered the information with a smile and seems to really appreciate and care for the animals. If you take your family, be sure to find Carlos to enhance the experience.

James 8 months ago

Positive experience: Pretty solid aquarium in Grapevine Mills. It took us about 1 hour to to see everything with a toddler. They do have a decent amount to see though some areas can get crowded. We got our tickets discounted with rewards but I don't think it would be worth it to pay full price. The gift shop is pretty solid with lots of unique animals and fish that aren't too expensive.

Kianna Pike 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Sea Life Aquarium did not disappoint! It was one of the most interactive aquariums we have been to. We loved the diversity of fish and the full circle ocean tunnel! #pikeadventures

Graydon Bazell 8 months ago

Positive experience: For being in a mall, the aquarium exceeded expectations and was very entertaining for our 1 year old. There was only one presentation during our visit, which was very well done but disappointing that there weren’t more. The staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It isn’t the cleanest place, and it’s still in a mall and feels as such — cramped and a little out dated. Overall, this is a convenient alternative to traveling to the Dallas World Aquarium, which is a much higher value for money if you can make the trek.

Jeton Latifi 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Grapevine Aquarium, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by the vibrant colors and sounds of various aquatic life. The facility is well-organized and clean, making it a welcoming environment for families and individuals alike.

Susan Yorke 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: This was the most amazing experience! The marine life was amazing. The staff were truly knowledgeable. Great place to bring family. There were a few rowdy kids that made things challenging while walking to exhibits.

Aylen Mayton 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: The place was great! Beautiful fish and heartwarming rescue stories. The greatest experience was the mermaid makeover face painting station before going in. Kate and Katie were epic hosts! We (two grown adults) were being silly and decided to get our face painted like mermaids. They let us live out our childhood for 15 minutes before going into the aquarium. We had so much fun! They were such creative face painters and made us feel like such special girls!! Hands down the greatest experience with absolutely no age limit! ❤️ We wore our mermaid face paint all over town all day!

Jonathan Conway 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was surprised how many different types of fish and aquariums there were. They did a great job of teaching you at the same time of keeping you excited. Great place for the family.

Mary-Arthur Plette 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: This review is for the best employee, Robin. We took our son for his birthday (Lego Land and Sea Life) and Robin was called to help with the VR experience at Sea Life. When she arrived, she was welcoming, helpful, and kind. When she realized our son was nervous about the VR, she explained everything in detail, offered options, and offered to hold his hand the whole time. She was also very knowledgeable with the sea life. We loved her and thankful for her kindness! 10/10 experience due to Robin!

Alex Ciaraglia 11 months ago

Positive experience: Great interactive and indoor experience. The aquarium has many cool sea animals to engage with. It will take you about 30-45 min to go through. The prices are a bit steep in my opinion $22 for both kids and adults (no price difference) but there are typically seasonal promotions and at this location you can bundle and save on tickets for the lego and peppa pig attraction on site.

Edward Villanueva 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Really nice aquarium, we were here for a few hours and enjoyed the little interactive stuff they had around the place. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable when we had any questions. Plus it's across the Lego place and you can save some money buy bundle buying your tickets for both like we did.

D. Michelle 11 months ago

Positive experience: SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium was a nice experience for our first visit. Tickets can be purchased online or at the kiosks that they have set up @ the entrance. The aquarium is set up like a maze. We saw a lot of beautiful fish & other aquatic species, including turtles. There were interactive games for the kids to play along with information listed about the various animal species in the aquarium. Staff members were also present, giving demonstrations & answering questions. When we got to the end, there was a 3D movie that could be viewed for an additional $10, which l felt should've been included in the admission. Overall, the kids enjoyed themselves, which is what it was about.

Paula Largent 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best aquarium! We loved that it was clean and everyone was friendly. There are so many fish to see and do many cool tunnels and peep domes! There are interactive areas that the kids loved. It wasn't crowded and I will always come back! There wasn't any bad smells like at most aquariums!

earthzen 11 months ago

Positive experience: This is a nice aquarium for the kids with several activities they can do. The shark tank is great, but it is a bit depressing to see some sea animals like the turtle swimming in a small space with no other animals.

Joel ALF 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We went and was so cool. We saw sharks , I never saw 1 of those, guitar shark. Very clean. Some of the coworkers had knowledge and walked you through to know more about sea life. . Looks small but is big. We love it.

Tamieka Williams 1 year ago

Positive experience: It's a very family-friendly, fun, and educational experience. The staff are super nice! We met a lovely young man who was working there while pursuing his marine biologist degree. This is a great place for elementary field trips.

Erin Bakke 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We LOVE this place! I truly can’t say enough good things. It’s perfect for toddlers and new walkers and truly any age kiddo— there is a distinct pathway that you follow throughout so it would be very hard to get lost. It can fit a double stroller, although, when it’s crowded, that can be tricky. The aquarium has so many tiny activities along the way so that there’s always a good distraction and things to see! It is always very clean, the bathrooms are kid friendly and pretty spotless. The staff is always so kind and usually have things to pass out to inquiring kids! We bought a membership because it’s truly such a special place. They also always decorate for holidays which is so fun.

Catherine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We took our 2 yr old grandson here for an outing. We spent almost 2 full hours looking at all the different fish, pools and educational info. It was a wonderful time. We were so surprised at how many large and varied fish were included in this all indoor exhibit. We were grateful for the A/C in August. I felt it was a bit expensive, especially to pay for our 2 yr old, but it was a great time. We were all captivated by the different exhibits. As we left I felt like it was definitely worth our time. Tip, check the ticket price online. It may be a better price than at the kiosk in the mall.

Fantastic experience: Pretty cool. A little pricey, but very neat. They have some HUGE sharks and stuff. No octopus that I saw, but a bunch of other stuff that's rad. Cool little digital learning boards at each tank too.

Fantastic experience: A Captivating Underwater Adventure at SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium! I recently had the pleasure of visiting SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium, and it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported into a mesmerizing underwater world filled with incredible marine life. Diverse Exhibits: The aquarium boasts a diverse range of exhibits, each carefully curated to showcase the beauty and uniqueness of underwater ecosystems. From the vibrant coral reefs to the mysterious depths of the ocean, every section was a visual treat. Interactive Touch Pools: One of the highlights was the interactive touch pools where visitors can get up close and personal with sea creatures. It was a fantastic hands-on experience for both children and adults, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation for marine life. 360-Degree Ocean Tunnel: The 360-degree ocean tunnel was a jaw-dropping experience. Walking through while sharks and rays glided gracefully overhead was like being immersed in a nature documentary. The tunnel truly brought the ocean to life! Conservation Efforts: I was impressed by SEA LIFE's commitment to marine conservation. The exhibits not only showcase the beauty of the underwater world but also raise awareness about the importance of preserving these ecosystems. It's educational and inspiring. ‍‍‍ Family-Friendly Atmosphere: The aquarium is perfect for families. The layout is stroller-friendly, and there are plenty of informative yet kid-friendly displays. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer questions and engage with visitors. Cafe and Gift Shop: After exploring the underwater wonders, I enjoyed a snack at the cafe with a view of the aquarium. The gift shop offered a variety of marine-themed souvenirs, making it easy to take a piece of the experience home. Overall, SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable and educational adventure. It's not just an aquarium; it's a journey into the mysteries and marvels of the ocean. I can't wait to visit again! Note: Ratings and experiences may vary, and it's always a good idea to check the official website for the latest information and any special events.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! We spent 3 hrs going through but that is because I have 3 small kids and they move slow and we’re so intrigued with all the fish. Regular time to go through Sea Life would be possibly 2 hrs. Highly recommend this place with amazing sea creatures and multiple “kids cave”.

Fantastic experience: Much more sea life than I expected from a mall aquarium. They have mermaid face painting as you enter but you have to schedule time. It’s well worth it. They were so patient with my little one and she couldn’t be happier with the results. Customer Service: Overall, all staff were friendly and informed. They have something like show and tell at scheduled times. Bundle with LegoLand is a great value if you plan for it. They offer a Veteran’s Discount.

Fantastic experience: Sea life was a great experience. We bought our tickets ahead of time and got in during a break in the crowd. The exhibits were well maintained and the animals looked well cared for. The directions were clear to understand and the information boards were well lit and easy to read. My favorite part was the 360 tunnel with all the larger fish. Will definitely come back again.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I decided to let the road take us, and we ended up here! 2 grown children that had an adventure day and boy did we enjoy it! Great adventure for family even though it was just the 2 of us, children were everywhere and mesmerized by the exhibits. Wonderful seeing all the joy and hearing the laughter and excitement all around.

Fantastic experience: We went here for a family fun day. My toddler enjoyed the first half but then got overwhelmed. However, I found it to be a fun and extremely kid-friendly experience. They had a rescue turtle and an underwater tunnel, making it both educational and entertaining. We will try again when my kids are school-aged. They’ll enjoy it more then and won't get as overwhelmed.

Fantastic experience: Sea life is so fun for adults and children alike! There is something so alluring about underwater sea life! From the tiny fish to the huge nurse sharks there is a spectacle in every tank! Where else can you see the mysterious jellyfish that exist for reasons scientists don’t know to huge eels! They even have alligators, the cutest scary creature! And they rehab sea turtles!

Positive experience: You definitely your money's worth. Lots of varieties of fish, turtles, sea anemone, sharks, rays, and caymen. Could use some updates, but, overall would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I missed this place! Use to take my kiddos all the time when they were young. So much more interactive and enjoyable over Dallas. Came back with family for the mermaid experience. Pretty cool, novelty but still enjoyed. As always the staff are friendly and the conservation efforts are to be applauded.

Positive experience: Wasn't too busy on a Saturday thankfully. We saw sharks, turtles, jellyfish, sea horses etc. Kids enjoyed it. Sadly we had to leave early for our rainforest resturant reservations but the employees said we could re enter! A bit pricey but worth a visit! Clean and well ventalated. There is an upstairs! We got tickets in advance, even if we didn't, there was no line.
