🗣️ Acuario de Shreveport: Opiniones
Experiencia negativa: One of the WORST EXPERIENCES TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER 80$ THEY CHARGE U FOR 2 ADULTS AND A CHILD DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE YOU PAY AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE ARE TO PICKY ABOUT YOU JUST STANDING NEXT TO A TANK HALF THE TANKS ARE EMPTY IT SMELLS REALLY NAD IN SOME PLACES DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE TRIP
Experiencia fantástica: Always loved it still do
Experiencia fantástica: Take some time to visit this aquarium, it's not huge, but definitely worth a visit to! Make sure you feed the sting rays, unique experience to say the least!
Experiencia positiva: Kinda pricey for how small it is, but nonetheless it's definitely worth checking out with the kids! Got to pet sting rays, sea anemones and live star fish! That was a super cool experience. Staff were so sweet and knowledgeable!
Experiencia positiva: It really nice place for children to walk through. But it is pricey. Not really anything for adults unless you like to sift through rocks and sand to find gems. And that really is pricey.
Experiencia positiva: I liked how immersive and hands on this place is and they have a large array of all different types of marine life. The only problem is we were in there for an hour and saw everything so the price was not worth just an hour.
Experiencia positiva: Great place! Friendliest, most helpful staff I've encountered at any business in the Shreveport/Bossier area by far. Nice aquarium and solid vibe.
Experiencia negativa: Kinda dirty for an aquarium and not very big at all. Website states that it takes about 2 hours to see everything here. Me and my family finished in 40 minutes. Plus, with how dirty some enclosures were, it was hard to see some of the fish and animals.
Experiencia negativa: Price should definitely be less based on what you actually experience. A good chunk of the experiences you have to pay extra for on top of an already pricey admission. Our family of 4 was $98 for maybe an hour of entertainment and minimal air condition. Also, bring your own water bottle because there’s nothing to even purchase until the very end once you’ve already done a lot of sweating. Walkways are VERY narrow so everything feels pretty crowded and rushed.
Experiencia fantástica: The staff is always friendly and informative. My kids always have fun petting the stingray.
Shello, Shayla! Thank you for the FIN-credible review! Swim back by and SEA us again soon to pet our Moon Jellyfish opening Monday, June 16th!
Experiencia fantástica: This was a great experience for my husband I. Another information about aquatic creatures. We even got to touch different things. We also got to touch the sting rays! That was a highlight. I never have done that!!
Ahoy, Tammy! We are glad you enjoyed or interactive touch tanks. Thank you for sharing your JAW-some photos!
Experiencia fantástica: This was so much fun!! From the atmosphere to the animals and the amazing service.
Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos, Angela! Join us for our Shark Feedings on Mon, Wed, or Fri at 2:30 for more in depth information on our JAW-some animals!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is pretty cool and has a great selection of animals and areas to play in. It's surprisingly affordable, both the tickets and the merchandise. Don't expect a massive aquarium but it does well with the space it has and is a great visit and a lot of fun. ALL of the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the creatures. Very glad I came here, and within walking distance of my resort!
What a JAW-some review, Aly, thank you! Our collection of beloved animals is always growing so swim back by again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Very expensive for a family of 4 for a small venue. We did have fun though.
Shello, Stefanie! Your photos are absolutely FIN-tastic thank you for sharing! We are glad you enjoyed our interactive stingray exhibit and gemstone mining station, we hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I love going here with my son. We've been members since he was a baby!
Yay! We love having you. Best Fishes!
Experiencia fantástica: We really enjoyed this.Great place for all ages. We will be going again soon
Shello, shello! Thank you for sharing those jaw-some photos! We hope to SEA you again soon, as well!
Experiencia positiva: The aquarium itself was beautiful. It was clean. The fish and tanks were amazing. Fun stuff to do. Not too crowded at 2pm on a Friday. 1 worker was a lil rude but would love to go back.
Shello, Stacee! We are so appreciative that you took the time to leave us such a jaw-some review! We are dedicated to making the entire experience as fun and educational as possible, and we are happy you had a good time! We hope to SEA you again!
Experiencia fantástica: Great place to spend a few hours. Awesome variety of creatures and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Feeding the stingrays is a must. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in Shreveport.
Holy Mackerel, Ashley! Tank you so much for such a fin-tastic review! Those are some turtle-y awesome pictures! We hope you swim on by and SEA us again soon!
Experiencia negativa: I have previously visited the aquarium with my two special needs children last year and we were literally followed through the entire aquarium by one of the staff workers while several (not all) of the employees were rude and dismissive. We attempted to give the aquarium another shot today, and again were met with several (not all) rude and dismissive workers. The exhibit is nice, but it seems some of the staff is not very welcoming to autistic children.
Hello there, Rayna. We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time here. The staff of the Shreveport Aquarium undergo training with Kulture City every year to ensure that we are as inclusive and helpful as possible. Please contact us at [email protected] to expand upon your review. We hope to get a better understanding of your experience.
Experiencia fantástica: Cozy Aquarium, the sharks exhibit is a must see. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Sea anemone, star fish, jelli fish, seahorse, snapping turtles and many more exhibits.
Shello there! What a jaw-some review! We are so happy you had such a fin-tastic time here! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium was super cute and well kept. The animals seem happy and the staff was really nice and helpful. My son's favorite part was the axolotls and mine was the wood nymphs!
Shello, Kristen. Can we tell you a secret? The axolotl's are our favorite part too! We hope you all come by and SEA them, and us, again! Best Fishes, and tank you for such a fin-tastic review!
Experiencia fantástica: While In Shreveport, We Needed To Kill Some Time. 100% Recommend Here! With Many Cool Species Of Fish And Sealife, Its Almost Impossible To Not Learn Something New! (We Went On March 31, 2023 So Differences Probably Have Happened)
AHOY, Hudson! What a fin-tastic review! We have changed a few things since you were here in 2023, like all our new exhibits! We hope you have a chance to swim on by and SEA us again soon! Best Fishes ~
Experiencia fantástica: The kids had a great time
Woah, those are some jaw-some pictures! Tank you so much for sharing, and for coming out to sea us!
Experiencia fantástica: Better than expected. Love the sting rays!
Hi WebbJack Cher! We hope you will swim back by to SEA us again soon! Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos!
Experiencia fantástica: It was a really cool experience. The workers there were amazing friendly and helpful. We enjoyed every aspect of this place. They have so many fun things for children of all ages to do.
Hi Anthony! Thank you for the FIN-tastic review and sharing your JAW-some photos! Our edutainers strive to help guests get the most of their experience here at the Shreveport Aquarium, we hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Good place to learn about a variety of marine life.
Hi Jazino! Thank you for sharing your JAW-some photos!
Experiencia fantástica: It's a small aquarium but the kids love it. We will be going again. If you buy tickets online it's a few dollars cheaper. We decided to buy a season pass and they applied the ticket purchase to the cost of the season pass.
Hi Melinda! Thank you for the FIN-credible review and for becoming one of our valued members! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I was kind of disappointed with the first part. However, as a whole, it was awesome, I took my kids 11 and 3, and they had a blast. I would definitely recommend going! I don't have any pics on my phone, but here's a pic of my dice trey.
Hi Stephen! That is a really cool dice trey! Thank you for your FIN-tastic review!
Experiencia fantástica: This is a wonderful gem that's hidden in the middle of the city.Of shreveport louisiana. It's a small aquarium but it's nice. It's in walking distance of the valley's casino and sam's casino.
Hi Angela! Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos! We are glad you enjoyed the appearance of our beloved Mardi Gras mermaid, we hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Had such a great time. It was our first time in. Thank you
Those photos are FIN-tastic! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Definitely plan on feeding the stingrays! Loved that part of our experience. I wish we could adopt the animals while there, but we had a great time.
Hi Amber! Your photos are absolutely JAW-some! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: It's such a cute place! Everyone is so friendly and my son and I love walking in and seeing all the fish! I got an individual membership because my son is free until he's 3 and it's so worth it! I definitely recommend!
Hi Jaydene! Thank you for becoming one of our valued members! We hope all your future trips are absolutely FIN-tastic!
Experiencia fantástica: As always this place is fantastic for children of all ages especially teenagers. The aquarium keeps everybody entertained and it's great to be able to touch the manta rays and stingrays.
Experiencia fantástica: My daughter and I had a great time visiting today. Attendance was low due to the extreme cold but it worked out great for us. Every single staff member we encountered was so friendly and helpful. Cora was so knowledgeable and walked us through two sections. When we told her we hadn’t seen the albino snapping turtle she walked us back and showed us her hiding spot. I didn’t catch the name of the staff member in the sting ray area but she was so kind and enthusiastic explaining how to get the best experience feeding the rays. We were so glad we decided to spend part of our day there.
Hi Theresa! Cora and Jessi greatly appreciate the kind review and love doing what they can to ensure our guests get the most out of their visit! Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos, we hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Came here in a Sunday shortly after they opened and was shocked how busy it was already. Look. I’m an adult woman with no kids. I enjoy aquariums. And thank God for noise cancelling ear buds because DAMN kids are loud. Kids will be kids, but it was definitely very crowded. I wanted to chill and watch some fish but yknow. It was busy. I’ve been to quite a few aquariums on my travels. This one isn’t bad. For the price I’d say a little steep for what it is. I was there maybe 30 mins. Staff was friendly, I appreciated that. Just so packed.
Hi Nomes! Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos! We hope you swim back by again soon and get to enjoy the full extent of our facility, SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Get tickets on line cheaper than at the Aquarium
Hi Sunda! Thank you for sharing your FIN-tastic photos! We are glad you had a JAW-some time!
Experiencia fantástica: For a small town, Shreveport aquarium made quite the impression. From the warm and friendly greeting we had upon entering, to the staff attending to the stingray touch tank, everyone we encountered was engaging and informative. The aquarium really embraced the season with the Christmas decorations. They were strategically placed and didn't detract from the exhibits. I was amazed that such a small aquarium had paddlefish! The jellyfish exhibit and stingray tank were a highlight, but the Axolotls topped them all. They were so cool! Lots of merchandise in the gift shop that featured the cool looking amphibian, too. Again, it is s small aquarium so don't expect to see every single aquatic creature, but they covered enough to entertain us to a few hours. My only complaint was regarding the parking lot. Free parking garage across the street was convenient, but it is barely kept. It rained when we visited and successfully disguised a pothole that seemed to be 10 feet deep. I thought I lost an axle the way my car dropped into it. They need to look into repaving the area.
Hi Jeanette! Thank you so much for your kind words and FIN-tastic review, you are a SEA STAR! Our staff takes immense pride in facilitating guest's experiences and making every visit fun and informative. We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Very cool! Lots of cool animals, and we got to pet the stingrays too, which is a very cool experience. The staff was very Nice and knew a lot about the animals. This is my second time going here and I love it every time.
Hi Aliana! Thank yo9u for sharing your JAW-some pictures! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I went for Believe Lights the Night and my three year old said "this is the best night of my life" it was my favorite Christmas event this year. Everything was so whimsical and magical. It exceeded my expectations.
Hi Emily! Thank you for the FIN-tastic review! We are so glad you enjoyed our Believe Lights the Night event! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Very interactive, not the largest facility, but they made due with their sq footage. Very friendly staff as well.
Hi Joshua! We love your FIN-tastic photos and thank you for the JAW-some review! We are planning to add many exciting new exhibits this year so we hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Their Christmas lights and everything going on was perfect for our family. We especially appreciated their "grown-up hot chocolate" for us while the kids enjoyed what they had to offer. Santa was great, the staff were into their role, and everything was quick and smooth!
Hi Dillon! We are so excited to hear your family enjoyed our Believe Lights the Night event! Just don't have too much "adult" hot chocolate over the holidays, Santa is always watching! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Very neat little aquarium with a nice variety of fish, but we thought it was kinda pricey ($23 per adult after tax online) for the size and amount of time spent inside. We stopped at every tank, took some pics, picked out our favorite fish, pet the stingrays, and browsed the gift shop in about 45 minutes. This aquarium is also clearly geared for kids so I write this review knowing we aren't the intended audience, but we entered at the same time as a set of grandparents + 3 grandkids and we finished up at the same time. So for them it was also about 45 minutes. I would still absolutely recommend visiting!
Hi Amy! We are so glad you enjoyed our aquarium, thank you for sharing your JAW-some photos and leaving a FIN-tastic review! While we are a small aquarium, we have a ever-growing collection of beloved animals and hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed the time I spent here. Lots of animals that are very well kept and the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. It’s free to touch a lot of the animals including stingrays, starfish, shrimp, sea cucumber and anemones! Feeding the rays was $6 per cup and I got them BOGO.
Hi Emily! We are happy you enjoyed your visit to our aquarium! Thank you for sharing all your jaw-some photos, my favorite is the baby alligators! We hope to sea you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: This is a nice aquarium! Of course it doesn't compare in size to the one in New Orleans, LA or in Georgia, it was still very nice. My kids and I really liked the opportunities to pet the star fish, sting rays, and jellyfish! My children, even my 19 year old and his girlfriend, my husband, and myself ALL found this an exciting place to visit. We made a day of it by visiting the Sciport Discovery Center afterwards. I hate that I got so wrapped up in enjoying the sharks and other fish that I forgot to take pictures of most of them!
Hi Leann! Thank you for sharing your fin-tastic photos! We have a lot of exciting events coming up including live mermaids and our Halloween pirate Mutiny festivities. We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I’m from El Paso TX and we don’t have aquariums in my city so I was excited when I found out Shreveport did. My daughter and I had a great experience for the most part while visiting the aquarium. Everyone was extremely kind and friendly, all but one staff member (she’s the lady in the picture). She was beyond rude and seemed irritated at anything my daughter and I did. We just ignored her and walked away. The gentleman that was with the jellyfish was super nice and informative about the species. Thank you sir for being patient with my daughter, she loved the shark teeth and seeing her crystal rocks under the microscope.
Hi Nina! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your overall experience at our aquarium, and deeply concerned about the issues you experienced with our staff. Please know that your concerns will be addressed with that employee as we strive to create a positive atmosphere where guests are encouraged to have fun, ask questions, and learn about our beloved animals and their environments. We hope to sea you again soon, have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely loved this experience! Tate at the sting rays was awesome! Learned a lot from him. Autumn over by the Turtles and Gators was very informative as well!
Thank you, Marie, we are so glad you enjoyed our aquarium and decided to share your stunning photos with us! Autumn and Tate love sharing their passion for our animals! We hope to sea you again soon, have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: We have so much fun every time we go! The workers are knowledgeable and will talk with you at length about each animal if you ask.
Thank you, Savannah, our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Took our family to the Shreveport Aquarium and had an outstanding experience. All of the kids 12-7yo in our group enjoyed the panning activity. We ended up purchasing a second bag because even the adults assisting wanted to do it again. The interactive starfish and sting rays were also a huge hit. We loved watching the baby alligators get fed as well. The tanks and displays were informative and captivating. Would go again!
Hi Sarah! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium from our interactive touch pools to our gemstone mining activity! Thank you for sharing your fin-tastic photos and we hope to sea you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: 3rd trip. Always a great visit. Not a visit to be hurried, takes time to take all the sea life in in the aquariums.
Thank you, Kaye, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! It has a great flow and lots of grest exhibits. It was not too big - just hot in the outdoor dome. We will come back!
Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, Mary, and we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We are in the process of adding many exciting new exhibits, so we hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: My family and I had so much fun here! The touch pool instructor was very knowledgeable and she took her time with us and it was great! She answered so many of our questions. The whole aquarium was awesome! It isn’t GINORMOUS but we enjoyed ourselves and spent well over an hour here! We took a 5 month old and a 7 month old and they had so much to look at.
Hi Allison! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium!

Hi Chad! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We are in the process of adding many exciting new exhibits, so we hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Great little aquarium in downtown Shreveport! Staff are welcoming and informative. A nice pace to be had in order to take time to observe the animals. A fun outdoor area with alligators, turtles and sift for semi-precious gems, fossils and shark teeth. You purchase a $9 bag of dirt or larger and dip it through sift boards in the running water. A great touch area with an enthusiastic instructor. Will definitely be back!
Hi Cheryl! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! Our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough good things about Shreveport Aquarium. I'm from Atlanta, so we know good aquariums. ;) I went here with my grandparents, mother, and my service dog (in training). The staff was LOVELY, and the animals are great. It's a cute little aquarium and was perfect for my pup to do some training in.
Hi Alexandra! Thank you for sharing your awesome photo, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! Our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation! We hope to sea you and your pup again soon, have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: It's more than an Aquarium, this family & kid-friendly environment offers Gemstone Mining, as well as feeding + petting the Stingrays! Amazing sight. Yes, they let us touch the Starfish & anemones, too! We weren't able to pet the jellyfish that day, I guess they were sleeping. My daughter & I were thrilled, we had such a great time there!
Hi Taylor! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! Unfortunately, we have recently decided to remove the jellyfish from the touch experience as they are very delicate animals, but we are in the process of adding many exciting new exhibits! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Love that they continue to bring new animals in and new entertainment for kids. Not to Mention a Cafe and hold special events like birthdays and weddings.... it's very nice!
Hi Catalina! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this place. Amazing for kids and family time
Hi Ricardo! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: This is a really cool aquarium! We really enjoyed feeding and petting the stingrays! We also thought the starfish tank was really cool. I would definitely recommend coming here when in Shreveport!
Hi Marc! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium and our interactive touch exhibits! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place. We had a guided tour for my granddaughter’s kindergarten class and it was WONDERFUL. Our tour guide did an AMAZING job. He was patience, kind, and had a wealth of knowledge and he shared it so well with the little 5 and 6 years old. We had a Great time and it was an awesome experience. Definitely will go again, we had so much fun.
Hi M Kays, thank you for sharing your amazing pictures! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium; our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium is a nice family atmosphere to enjoy the kids faces at the awh of the adventure, and taking pictures of the kids as they touch and explore the sea life. My grandchildren really got onto the touching of the sea animals (if i can call them animal). You will have fun.
Hi Johnetta! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: My family thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. For a small aquarium there was lots to see and do. We enjoyed the stingrays the most.
Hi Marsha! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! Our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: We’ve been members for two years and this is my son’s favorite place to go! They’ve added more sea creatures, insects and things over time. It’s nice to see them dedicated to improving. I love taking him whenever there are events going on because it gives him a more interactive experience. In July they have Shark Week and they throw a “party” for one of the sharks. It’s cute and we love it because it’s a few days before my sons birthday and they’re the same age. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The addition of the restaurant/cafe was the perfect touch. Although, it would be nice if the hours were more convenient. The restaurant hardly ever seems to be open. I highly recommend getting memberships. It’s worth it. The website lists all of the perks for membership. I will say, it’s better experiencing in person. We make the most of it.
Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, Aaliyah, we are so glad you and your son enjoy visiting the Shreveport Aquarium! Our staff takes immense pride in sharing their passion for animal welfare and conservation with our valued members! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: We love going to the Shreveport aquarium. I went once with my whole family including my 14-year-old 12-year-old 1-year-old and 4 and 5-year-old nephews. I purchase a membership for myself so me and my 1-year-old can go back while the kids are in school. I do wish it was open earlier because before nap time it was the best time to go anywhere, but with that being said we can still go at noon and be out of there before my kids get home from school. Edit -my daughter is now 4. We didn't go as often as I would have liked that year with the pass, just because it did open at noon and it is so much easier to go in the morning, however, we went today for the first time in 8 months and she had a BLAST!!! The stingrays are her favorite, by far, but she did enjoy the entire trip. We are normally there for an hour and a half. It is bit pricy for a short amount of time (2 tickets, plus feeding the stingrays), but as a treat it was worth it!
Hi Rachael! Thank you for becoming one of our valued members and for sharing your awesome photos! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: What a great place!! We were pleasantly suprised with the aquarium. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, and there is so much to see and do! Both my boys (13 & 9) loved it. We all enjoyed the huge snapping turtles and the shark tank. We would visit again. Highly recommended for families of all ages.
Thank you, Janet, we are so glad you enjoyed our aquarium and our alligator snapping turtles Rue and Guru! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia positiva: We visit several aquariums a year. It was a pretty good one to go to. Prices a hair high midday in the week. 3 of us $60 including feeding the sting rays once.
Thank you for sharing your awesome photos, Trenton, we are so glad you enjoyed your visit to the Shreveport Aquarium! We are in the process of adding many exciting new exhibits, so we hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: We only went to The Riverwalk Cafe, not the aquarium. The Cafe was awesome! Beautiful evening to sit outside on the deck. We ordered several appetizers to share and all were tasty. On Wed, Thurs & Fri, they have Happy Hour drink specials. Service was great as well. We will definitely be back! Check out the views.
Thank you, Ginger, we are so glad you enjoyed our cafe! We hope to sea you again soon and have a fin-tastic day!
Experiencia fantástica: Loved our visit to the aquarium. I fed the rays. I enjoyed the hands-on experiences. We liked getting to watch the alligators and sharks being fed. And all the employees were SUPER FRIENDLY. Also, the entry fee and price to feed the rays were very reasonable.
Leslie, thank you so much for the kind words, and we do hope you will come back soon for another visit!
Experiencia positiva: 3.5 Stars: I really enjoyed the aquarium! The staff was polite and the flow was good. There was quite a bit to see even for a smaller scale aquarium. HOWEVER, there were a couple things that made me very sad. Mainly the prehistoric paddlefish exhibit. It was the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time. While all the other fish and exhibits had plenty of room, the paddlefish were ALL squeezed into this one tiny, bland, stand alone take with nothing but rocks at the bottom. I didn’t see a single one without damage to the end of their snout. They were all swimming in an endless circle rubbing their snouts against the sides of the tank. It really hurt to see and dampened the experience for us. While the rest of the place was great and we loved touching some of the animals there were only a few other tanks that seemed a little less taken care of. Overall we had a great experience but I hope the owners see this and do something about those poor paddlefish, they’re definitely suffering. UPDATE: Thank you for the response!! That’s very reassuring to know they won’t stay in there and will be released for repopulation! Thanks so much!
Hello and thank you for your concern. Paddlefish live in slow moving water and tend to stay near the surface of the water. They are ram ventilators, meaning they are animals that constantly have to keep swimming in order to breathe. That is why they are continuously swimming in circles. Paddlefish's rostrum are sensitive and the slightest bump can cause damage. It does not hurt them, nor are they suffering. Adding rocks or décor to their tanks would cause them to get stuck and become injured or worse. The current population we have are a part of a release program to help raise numbers of the population in our local waterways where they had locally gone extinct. By raising this freshwater species onsite, the public can see and learn about them before they grow big enough for our annual release in March into Caddo Lake. We get a new population of babies every August and we rear them to be released in the Caddo waterways annually as part of our repopulation program with Caddo Lake Institute.
Experiencia fantástica: Second time season pass holder. The stingrays are an emotional subject with me because I have grown to love them so much. I feed them every time I go and I have my favorites. My grandchildren love that they can go anytime they want. With mermaid and pirate parties, starfish touch tank and my favorite fish (a puffer fish named Potato) & gourmet food served overlooking the water, I’m in love with this aquarium. The staff cares about your experience and is friendly beyond compare. Touch a jellyfish, touch a starfish, touch a stingray, and make friends with Potato. They support local charities and take the opportunity to educate about the troubles our ocean creatures face with pollution, overfishing, & plastic. Pricing is more than affordable for a seasons pass. Nice lunch date spot. Good for weekenders looking for a consistent and genuine experience. You will not be disappointed. ( if you ask, staff will show you what tank Potato is in, He will be the adorable puffer fish that is so excited to see you that he is pressing his lips against the glass as he smiles at you, you will fall in love with Potato)
T, we are beyond thrilled to hear that you are a member and enjoy all of the programs that we do here at the aquarium!!! Potato is definitely a crowd favorite, and a bit of a celebrity these days! We look forward to seeing you again soon!!
Experiencia fantástica: We loved this aquarium! All the personnel were so nice. We loved all the fish and the hands on activities (touching sting rays, and anemones and star fish).. We also spent a little for the kids to “mine” for rocks at the Red River Treasure Mine (we did get a bit wet!, so bring an extra shirt). We were there for 2 hours and had a great time!
Hello, Christie, we are happy to hear you had a great time during your visit interacting with the staff and animals. We appreciate the kind words and review!
Experiencia fantástica: I visited the Aquarium's backside River view cafe for a night holiday concert. It was fabulous! With inside/outside seating we chose the patio sitting area around the fire pit. While there I noticed weekday specials with a "hoppy our" Wednesday evenings with lite fare for purchase 5-7. on the riverside cafe. Truly a hidden gem! Well maintained building and grounds, professional and personable staff! I can't wait to visit for the exhibits.
Oliver, thank you so much for the review of our Riverwalk Café and Event Venue, we agree it really is a hidden gem!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic service and team members! Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable I never felt pressured to keep moving and was really welcomed to stay and chat. To all the Staff I just wanna say thank you for a great time!
Hello, Panda Man, thank you for the kind words - we will pass this on to our staff! They are a friendly bunch who enjoy talking about the animals and conservation. We are so happy you had a great time!
Experiencia fantástica: First time going to an aquarium and I was not disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful they gave a lot of information about the different animals and some fun facts about them. It may seem small but it's very packed with interactive things to do overall for the price it was really worth it.
Hello, Bryan, thank you for the kind words! We are happy you enjoyed interacting with the animals and talking with our staff, we all get excited about sharing information about animals and conservation. Thank you for the review!
Experiencia fantástica: I was really surprised at how nice this place is considering how small it looks from the outside. Inside there is a lot going on and so many fish. There are a few different interactive station that are no extra charge which is amazing!
Hello, Samantha, thank you for the kind review! We have nearly 2,000 animals across 230 species here, and we are so happy you enjoyed seeing and interacting with them!
Experiencia fantástica: We didn’t know that Shreveport had an aquarium so we didn’t really have any expectations going in. However, we were pleasantly surprised! The aquarium is on the smaller side but had a lot of awesome hands-on exhibits and great employees who seemed to really care about educating people about the animals. We got to touch jellyfish, sting rays, starfish and coral. It was not crowded at all and we could spend as much time as we wanted at each exhibit. We all really enjoyed the aquarium and will definitely return!
Hello, Amanda, thank you so much for the kind words! Our staff works hard to be knowledgable about the animals on exhibit and are passionate about them. We have an awesome team who enjoy having these conversations, and we are so happy it made your expereience fun. Thank you for the review, and we look forward to seeing you all again!
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience and not too pricey. Parking was a little confusing as it is only the top layer to garage across the street, but it was free. Got to feed stingrays, pet jellyfish, and they had more unique animals on display than my local aquarium. I also loved the pirate or Halloween theme they had going on as well with activities throughout. Very memorable time.
Experiencia fantástica: Last min visit with the family and it was a very nice aquarium!! Affordable. Food was very good as well. Don’t miss out on this little hidden gem downtown.
Experiencia fantástica: I was initially reluctant to visit, but my husband and children mentioned it a couple different times. I’m so glad I trusted them :) our children had a wonderful time in the aquarium. It was pirate themed, and offered had a $3 option to join the scavenger hunt. We chose the scavenger hunt, and our children really enjoyed it! They were were given a small task to complete at each of the 6 stations, we had a lot of fun finding the stations, completing the tasks and getting their cards stamped. They were greeted by a real pirate who led them to the treasure chest for a bag of loot, after tricking my kids into taking a picture with him :)
Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful place! Absolutely love it! It was a rainy day and rain could get through part of the old dome roof but honestly it added to the ambience for the animals in there. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. I loved the underwater tunnel and the little "bubbles" where you could look up at the animals like you were in the tank. The baby alligators, axolotls, stingrays, sharks.. Seriously couldn't pick a favorite. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: What a fun place! The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!! Ps. Your ticket is for ALL day! You can go through as many times as you'd like!
Experiencia fantástica: It is a small aquarium, going through the whole thing only took 30 minutes, but it is a fun stop! It’s very interactive and you get to touch a variety of animals like sea cucumbers, starfish, manta rays, and best of all jellyfish! I’m from Dallas and I enjoyed this small aquarium a lot more than the larger Dallas aquarium.
Experiencia fantástica: July 1, 2023 came here for the first time. This is a very cool, little aquarium with some exotic sea creatures. I figured that Shreveport's aquarium would have been slightly bigger, but it was great visiting and enjoying the sights. The interactive spots to touch the starfish and the anemones/coral was fun. Seeing the visitors feed the stingrays were really cool, too. It is definitely pleasing and calming to see the sea creatures here.
Experiencia fantástica: While it’s not the biggest aquarium we’ve visited, it certainly has charm! Gorgeous plants, aquatic life, and the coolest touch tank I’ve experienced. Also very clean with plenty of places to wash your hands along the way!
Experiencia positiva: This aquarium is small but very nice. A lil pricey. I could have gotten tickets cheaper online and the cashier at the aquarium told me I wouldn't save money buying online. That's not true. I could have saved 15 to 18 dollars online. That wasn't nice of her. Buy tickets online instead of the aquarium you can save a little money. Overall me and my family enjoyed it.
Experiencia fantástica: Great trip for the day. It was interactive and educational. The kids loved doing the touch pools. We also washed dirt and found minerals and sharks teeth. It was fun for all of us.
Experiencia fantástica: Buy your tickets online. I think you save $2. My husband, myself, mother in law, neice, sister in law, and my step son went. It was nice. My neice had a blast. The aquariums are nice, clear and clean. I would recommend visiting. We didn't eat there but the dining area looked clean and inviting.
Experiencia fantástica: One of the best aquariums. Free parking, reasonable price. Great Cafe inside. There is a lot of hands on interaction for adults and kids. Loved it.
Experiencia positiva: It was fun, kind of expected a little more but definitely would have been great for older kids, lots of hands on things! And the young lady working in the room with the starfish, she was AMAZING that lady needs a raise she convinced my two year old to put her hand in the tank and touch a starfish and was patient, kind, relatable, and great!!! THANK YOU! My daughter is very shy but she had her talking to her, asking questions, and I was in awe. Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: I really love this aquarium. It's just the right size auarium and the tanks and exhibits they have are fantastic in my opinion. Great for a family outing!
Experiencia positiva: My daughter loves it. But there is water leaking out of these tanks everywhere. I don't think that is safe as this can cause structural damage and a burst and possible biological issues. The staff was great, friendly and informative. Much better value than the science place which she found boring at nearly twice the price. Would've been five stars if not for the leaks.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love all the plants and the different places from around the area. Beautiful scenery.
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Great cost. There is room for growth but with more support, I believe that growth could happen. I would have eaten there today after we explored but the cafe was closed. Also parking is tight. There needs to be more clarification on where guest of the aquarium are able to park
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place to take the family,lots of interaction for the kids,feeding the fish at set times and a tank to touch Ray's,the little restaurant was nice with good eats. We will be back.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ll begin by saying that love aquariums in general. And despite the smaller size of this one, I absolutely adore it. I’m a member and I go at least once a month! They’ve got a great variety of animals and activities. I love the sharks and rays. And the mining activity has become a recent favorite too! I teach science and my students loved getting to see the fossils that I’d found through that experience.
Experiencia fantástica: It was a fun experience with my children and relatively cheap. It took about an hour for us to walk thru and look at all the cool fish and animals they have. While not the biggest aquarium, it definitely has some interesting animals to see. You get to see jellyfish and you also get to pet and feed Manta Ray's and touch starfish. I would recommend this to anyone for a cheap and fun event with the kiddos (they also do memberships)
Experiencia positiva: Wonderful experience for younger kids. Enough for grown ups to enjoy too!
Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful aquarium with plenty of fish, sharks, and other creatures. They offer audio QR codes for each of the fish tanks to learn more about them. The workers who are supervising the petting areas were super sweet and helpful to let us know how to properly handle each of the animals. I loved the variety of fish and reptiles they had around the exhibit. A lot of the tanks we saw had very active and visible fish which I usually struggle with in aquariums but all of the animals seemed so happy they came right up to the glass! Walking through this is definitely worth it for an outing!
Experiencia fantástica: Love bringing the kids here. Staff is very friendly, especially Eli in the gift shop. Not too big but love the touch tanks and walkthrough.
Experiencia positiva: We enjoyed our trip. Seeing all the fish made me hungry though It was a lot smaller than expected -especially for the price. I was able to get the military discount, however.
