🗣️ SEA LIFE San Antonio: Opiniones
Experiencia negativa: This is a poor excuse for an aquarium. It is super small with very few exhibits. I expected it to be very good since it is the same company as the Coex Mall aquarium in Seoul, Korea (which is truly amazing and I visited it many times when we were stationed there). The water in the tanks here was dirty/hazy, not clear like any other aquarium I have been to, either in the US or internationally. I really don’t recommend this place and I have no idea why it has such high reviews. We were finished walking through this aquarium in less than 30 minutes and we love aquariums. We didn’t even take any photos, it was that disappointing. Reading other reviews this is probably a good place for really young kiddos. We were all adults and just didn’t really feel it was worth our time or money.
Hi M C, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: my son had a blast there, even got to pet a few of the fish!
Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium was very good. I wish I had pictures. It's very convenient parking in the mall and then the alamo, the new alamo complex is very amazing.Well, worth the visit.If you're in san antonio
Hey Mark! Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving us such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring our underwater world. Catch you later, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia negativa: Extremely overpriced for what it was, even with the military discount. Took about 30 minutes to go through.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia positiva: Overly expensive. Some dude was singing the whole time (not staff). But the baby liked it so screw it.
Hi Steven, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We're glad to hear that your baby enjoyed the experience, though! We always aim to create a memorable experience for all our visitors, and your feedback helps us improve. We hope to welcome you and your family back for an even better visit in the future. Take care, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: Was not bad at all. Nice little place. Staff was kind. It is short so don't buzz through the place or you will be out of there in like 10 min.
Experiencia fantástica: The wife and I decided that since our autistic five year old son loved the Mazatlan aquarium in Sinaloa, we would try here while we are in town today. I must say that everyone enjoyed our time here and our son really enjoyed it. He loves the water and all of the animals in it. He also enjoyed the play area for children!
Hi Jeremy, Wow, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your whole family, especially your son, had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE San Antonio. It's heartwarming to know that he enjoyed both the aquatic wonders and the play area. We strive to create a magical experience for all our visitors, and your feedback truly makes our day. We hope to welcome you all back for another adventure under the sea soon! Wishing you and your family all the best, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: Very clean and awesome set up absolutely loved it!!!
Experiencia positiva: Overpriced IMO. The establishment was clean and the staff was very kind and professional. If you've been to a large aquarium like the one in Dallas, this is not that. It's in a shopping mall so adjust your expectations. Took like 30 minutes to walk through. My 6 year old took longer in the gift shop than she did in the aquarium.
Hi Kaylee, Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our team to be kind and professional and that you appreciated the cleanliness of our aquarium. We aim to offer a unique experience that fits our space, and we're glad you and your little one had some fun, especially in the gift shop! We hope to see you both again for more aquatic adventures and maybe a few more treasures from the shop. Have a fantastic day! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia positiva: Nice place but not for toddlers. It's dark in there.
Hi Jackie, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear you found SEA LIFE San Antonio to be a nice place, but we’re sorry to learn that it might not have been the best fit for your toddler. We understand that the lighting can be a bit dim in some areas, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve the experience for all our visitors. If you have any other suggestions or thoughts, we’d love to hear them. We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future for a brighter adventure! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia positiva: Mid.... Nice but nothing really to get too excited about. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either.
Hi Jason, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We truly appreciate your feedback. We're always striving to create an exciting and memorable experience for all our guests, and your insights help us in that mission. If there's anything specific you think could enhance the experience, we'd love to hear more from you. We hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future and give us another chance to impress you! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia positiva: The aquarium was beautiful and well-maintained overall. However, I was deeply concerned to observe a lone shark resting at the bottom of the tank with its back fin completely missing. It was distressing to see, and I would expect that a facility dedicated to marine life would closely monitor the health and condition of its animals. It is concerning that such an injury appeared to have gone unnoticed until brought to attention by a guest through photographs. Regular welfare checks should be in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all aquatic life, especially in situations where aggressive interactions may occur.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your observations and concerns after your recent visit to the aquarium. We genuinely value feedback from our guests—it helps us maintain the highest standards of animal care and continue providing meaningful educational experiences for everyone who walks through our doors. The animal you noticed is an epaulette shark, a fascinating species with some pretty remarkable adaptations! Unlike many sharks, epaulette sharks don’t need to be constantly on the move to breathe. Instead, they can rest calmly on the sea floor while actively pumping water over their gills—a completely natural behavior you’ll often see in both wild and aquarium settings. And if you took a close look, you might have noticed their two small, equally sized dorsal fins set toward the back of their bodies—just one of many unique traits that make them so special. We also truly appreciate that you brought your concern to our Ranger on duty during your visit. Thanks to you, our management team was able to follow up immediately and ensure everything in our Ocean Tunnel was as it should be. Please rest assured that we took your concern seriously and acted quickly. The health and well-being of our animals are always our top priority, and our team is constantly monitoring and caring for them to ensure they’re thriving. Thanks again for your attentiveness and for caring about the animals—it means a lot to us!
Experiencia positiva: Great for kids. Is a very small aquarium. Seemed over priced for its size.
Hi Peggy, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear that you found SEA LIFE San Antonio to be a great spot for kids! We strive to create a fun and educational experience for families. We understand your concerns about the size and pricing. We’re always looking for ways to improve and provide the best possible experience for our visitors. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that. We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future for more underwater adventures! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: This is a great place to go for toddlers, my daughter is 16 months old and loved it. The nice thing about Sea Life is that everything is at their height, so they can walk around and see everything inside the tanks. They also have two different-sized walking tunnels, one at young kids' height and one that is adult height. We purchased the combination Lego Land and Sea Life tickets, which are co-located. One elevator takes you up a floor to Lego Land and the other takes you down to Sea Life. We spent about an hour and a half in Legoland and an hour walking through Sea Life.
Hi Eric A, Wow, it sounds like you and your daughter had an amazing time at SEA LIFE San Antonio! We're thrilled to hear that our exhibits were just the right height for your little explorer. It's wonderful to know that she enjoyed walking around and discovering all the wonders inside the tanks. We're also glad you took advantage of the combo tickets with LEGOLAND—it’s great to have both adventures so conveniently located. It sounds like you had a fun-filled day exploring both worlds! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you and your daughter back for more underwater adventures soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: The place was great to visit and conveniently in the mall so there's food options and other activities readily available. The staff were great and we had a good family outing. Will be coming back.
Hey Adrian! Thanks a ton for swimming by SEA LIFE San Antonio and for sharing your awesome experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a fin-tastic time exploring our underwater world. It's fantastic that you found our location convenient and enjoyed the nearby food and activities too. Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia positiva: Wow!! Absolutely cool experience. I just wish it was bigger. I felt like we went through it somewhat fast. But overall fun to do. Just don't know if it's worth going more than once because of the price.
Experiencia negativa: 25 minutes for the whole tour… only small fishes… very expensive for nothing…
Hi Steeve, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I'm really sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide a memorable experience for all our guests, and it's disappointing to learn that we fell short during your visit. We do have multiple aquatic animals in our aquarium such as sharks, stingrays and our sea turtle. To make the most of your visit, we do recommend spending 45 minutes to an hour inside and checking out the animals and information at each tank. If there's anything specific, you'd like to share about your visit or any suggestions you have, please feel free to reach out. We truly care about making SEA LIFE San Antonio a place where everyone can enjoy and learn about the wonders of the ocean. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a more enjoyable experience. Warm regards, SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience here. Much bigger than I thought it was going to be with lots of great exhibits. I loved the bright red shrimp! I would definitely recommend this. A great deal for $25!
Experiencia fantástica: I loved this aquarium! I was very impressed with the various marine life and the tank displays! We went Monday morning so we had the place to ourselves! We will definitely be back!!!
Experiencia positiva: I think it's a really cool place if you have kids. I went with a senior hoping that there would be a senior discount but there wasn't. The person in the front was kind of unfriendly. I get it maybe they're tired. And I hadn't done this before so I don't know what to expect. But I'm always hoping for places to go beyond what they just advertised online. I thought it was cool. The price of admission is a little pricey for my liking. Everything is expensive. But I had a good time and my favorite was the jellyfish
Experiencia positiva: It's a view as you go. Quick experience. We spent about 30 mins total in there. Grabbed the combo tickets with Legoland .
Experiencia negativa: $35 for parking, 30 minute walkthrough, good for all small ages the Sealife in Orlando FL was better
Experiencia fantástica: A quick underwater experience. It was a great experience the kids loved it. Price tag might be a deal breaker for some.
Experiencia fantástica: I’d like more signs on the street guiding you where the entrance is. It was our first time in San Antonio and we didn’t even know the aquarium was inside of the Mall, so we had to ask several people how to get in.
Experiencia negativa: Everyone was super kind but the pricing was so expensive for an aquarium that is 30 minutes maximum. I’d say opt for the zoo if you are a tourist.
Experiencia fantástica: I went before it got crowded. Clean, lots of self guided info electronic pads. Solo for me, so no distractions, loved it. Don't get me wrong everyone will love it, grownups too.
Hey Ac Warf! Thanks a ton for swimming by SEA LIFE San Antonio and for sharing your awesome experience with us! We're thrilled to hear you had a blast! t's fantastic to know that our aquarium can be a hit for both solo adventurers and groups alike. We hope to see you again soon for another fin-tastic visit! Wishing you oceans of fun, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience for the kids. Beautiful aquariums and awesome displays. Very educational and enjoyable for all ages. Friendly and helpful staff

We can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: SEA LIFE San Antonio is a fantastic spot for kids, offering an interactive and educational experience that keeps them entertained. My children love coming here, and it’s always a fun visit for the family. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the experience smoother. Tips for Visiting: • Buy Tickets in Advance – Especially on weekends, when lines can get long. There’s a wait to purchase tickets and another wait to enter due to a single elevator that takes guests down into the SEA LIFE area. This can add to the overall time spent just getting inside. • Visit on a Weekday – The space is relatively small, and when it gets crowded, it can be difficult to fully enjoy certain attractions like the touch tank or the shark tunnel. Taking pictures can also be a challenge with large crowds. Inside the Experience: Once inside, you start with an initial picture, which is a nice keepsake you can collect at the end. The walk-through is designed like an aquarium, with a variety of sea life exhibits to explore. While it’s not the largest aquarium, it’s well put together and engaging. The touch tank and the shark tunnel are popular highlights, but they can get busy, so plan accordingly. At the end of the visit, there’s a playground, which I found to be a great way for the kids to burn off any leftover energy before heading out. The exit leads into a gift shop shared with the neighboring Legoland store, making it tempting for kids to want a souvenir before leaving. Final Thoughts: Overall, SEA LIFE San Antonio is an enjoyable, interactive experience, especially for kids. It’s well worth a visit, but to avoid long waits and crowded exhibits, a weekday trip is the best bet. Also, parking in the lot connected to the venue is a smart choice since you can get your ticket validated. We’ll definitely be visiting again!

We're thrilled to hear that your family, especially the kids, had a fantastic time exploring our interactive and educational exhibits. We appreciate your tips for future visitors.

Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us, and we can't wait to welcome you and your family back for another adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed visiting. It was a glimpse of the aquarium in Atlanta Ga There was an arch to go under and look up to a transparent ceiling. You were able to see fish and other sea life. Plenty of touch screens with information, at the end a touch pond with live sea urchin and star fish.
Hi Rosanne! We are glad you had a fin-tastic time at SEA LIFE San Antonio! We're thrilled to hear that our underwater world gave you a glimpse of the wonders you experienced in Atlanta. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fin-tastic adventure! Sea you soon! ✨ Best fishes, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia negativa: The entire thing is a bit mis leading. It says one price and then there’s fees at the end. Just give me the full price up front. They closed a huge part of the exhibit and my son didn’t get to fully experience it. Some of the rides and experiences were not operational. We originally wanted to use a Groupon for this whole thing but to add to the scam nature of it you can’t use Groupon same day. You have to plan ahead to use it.
Hi Chris, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm truly sorry to hear that your visit to SEA LIFE San Antonio didn't meet your expectations.

Warm regards, The SEA LIFE San Antonio Team
Experiencia negativa: Was a nice aquarium until we got the touch tank wasn't given any instructions to my family our 4 year old was about to touch an anemone and was yelled at by an a man named mark who was supposed to be training some employees but was just trying to talk to the young girls he was in charge of . Then my daughter was asking the female employee about some see stars if they stung ,she says no , i tried to touch one to show it wasn't going to sting and this man tried to yell at me shut that down and ended up talking to management about it .this was our first visit
Hi Jonathon, I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience during your visit to SEA LIFE San Antonio. I apologize for the lack of guidance at the touch tank. Your feedback is invaluable, and I assure you that we will address this with our team to ensure better communication and a more positive experience for all our visitors in the future. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 Experience for me and my 15 month old it was such a magical time the only thing is when we bought tickets in advance it came with pictures and on the way out it was an extra $30 charge to receive your printed photos. Highly recommend to come here with your littles!
Hi Aldaiz! Wow, we're thrilled to hear that you and your little one had such a fin-tastic time at SEA LIFE San Antonio! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: They were amazing & so gracious. My Grandkids are very shy at 1st & the staff was very very accommodating. My Grandkids & used to had an amazing fun filled afternoon. Thank you for all they do. Also the staff was Happy & upbeat.
Hi Julia! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff! We hope to host you and your family again soon!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I have a toddler and this place entertained him pretty well. He loved touching the starfish! Overall, we had fun. At the end they had a play place which was nice.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad y'all had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Nice exhibits but somewhat small and rather pricey as entire visit takes 1-1.5 hours
Hi Sandy! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: A little on the small side from the others I have been to, but when you get the lego land and sea life bundle it ends up worth it, in my opinion! My kids' favorite part is the tunnel you can walk through, the hands on experience towards the end, and the playground.
Experiencia negativa: Our first visit and mostly likely last. It really a small place and expensive. It's a clean place with lots of help but it took about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia negativa: I found it very expensive for the experience they offer. It is very small set up and just give us very basic sea life experience. We were out in no more than half hour. The water and glasses are not as clear as I have seen in other places. No value for money
Experiencia fantástica: We had such a great visit with my kiddos. They loved seeing all the aquatic creatures. We will definitely go back again. Perfect you sit attraction for the kiddos. The staff was very helpful and informative.
Experiencia fantástica: This was such a fun, cool and cute experience!! Yes it’s small but honestly if you take the time read and learn about the fishes there I say you will spend a good 45 minutes in there. You have employees walking around in case you have more questions about the fish as well. We did behind the scenes and Aaron was amazing! Worth it. Had a blast!
Experiencia fantástica: Short walk, but it was really cool There’s a couple of benches inside the walk where you can nurse your baby or take a walk break . There’s a touch and feel tank for kiddos and at the end there is a play ground. Kids must take off shoes, socks recommended I really didn’t like that they take your picture and print out all these extra copies for you just to tell you “it’s 45$ or you hand it back to me and we toss it” Like wtf? You print all these copies of photos of us so we either buy immediately from you or you take all them back? Creepy af. They better burn that bc I get discussed thinking about each child and their families getting exposed like that. I was able to see all the tangible families photos bc they place it on a wall for everyone to see. I hated that.
Experiencia positiva: Imagined it to be bigger but really fun experience.
Hi Sarah H, Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're sorry to hear that the size didn't quite meet your expectations, but we're thrilled that you had a fun experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable visit!
Experiencia fantástica: Very cool experience. It would be nice to have a bench here and there for us older people who need to sit once in a while.
Experiencia negativa: Legoland/sealife san antonio is a scam. It is far overpriced, especially for kids. Most everything(all rides and the bounce house) are all height required(minimum 40 inches), that leaves hardly nothing for the little kids under that height to do and enjoy. They don't specify this clearly enough on their website, nor do they make clear enough that to enter Legoland you must have a child under 17, though it's more for little kids. Sealife is also overpriced for the size aquarium. There's really not much big sealife to really enjoy. Personally, I have seen bigger and far better aquariums with better sealife. I would not go to these attractions if they were free.
Experiencia fantástica: Super cute exhibit! Loved walking through and seeing all the different underwater creatures.
Hi Christine! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We ALL LOVED IT .. I personally did not want to leave!! Just chilling by the walL glass tank, watching Gods handy work the sharks and many other exotic creatures beautiful bright colors, awesome designs .. AMAZING!! Oh cheaper online, payoung in advance = no wait! HAVE FUN
Hi Justine! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia negativa: Terrible, short, just a bunch of fish tanks, felt like walking through the fish section of a pet store. Would not go back and would not recommend, was a huge rip off. Price is outrageous just to look at few fish tanks.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia positiva: Me and Rabii Are Taking Into Sea Life Aquarium In San Antonio! But You Know? in Sydney from Years ago? Nah... It Was Melbourne Sea Life Aquarium... Until Now We're Went Into Sea Life in San Antonio! Hopefully... It's This What Best Sea Llife Experience Ever!!
Experiencia positiva: I took my granddaughter to Sea Life & Legoland. We had 2 hours & we planned to spend an hour at each center. We had so much fun at Legoland we almost went over the hour so we had to rush over to Sea Life. Well we got through it in 30 minutes! It’s ok but it wasn’t interactive or long enough for us. The tunnel & touching the jelly fish were the most interesting part of the trip. I decided to go back to the start & go a slower pace to see if we missed anything but it still wasn’t like I expected.
Experiencia fantástica: This place was sooo fun! Definitely recommend it to a family or just a group of friends :3 workers and employs were really nice here and friendly, such a cool atmosphere and lots of cool sea creatures to look at! :D It was my first time here, so I enjoyed my experience! Also came with my sister and my friends sister. I'm fron New Mexico, so it was nice seeing things that usually arnt in my area. Definitely would come again! Also there's cute plushies at the gift shop ^w^ 10/10
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We all enjoyed the experience, kids and adults. I was expecting it to be somewhat bigger, but given the price it was definitely a good deal. They had some exhibits with things I hadn't ever seen before and everything was clean and well done
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Great Place, a little lack luster compared to some aquariums in terms of quality and cleanliness but a great time overall! Definitely fun to check out!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia positiva: Sea Life displays and facilities are excellent. The cost is too high and the ticketing process is a chore. Online for this, guestions for that, and on and on. It is recommended to get tickets prior to arriving at Sea Life.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia positiva: Great if you happen to be in the area and have the time. I recommend you buy tickets online and go during the week when it is cheapest.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We really appreciate the feedback! We agree visiting during the week is best for a great rate. We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia negativa: Small, expensive for what you get. I won't recommend it. I've been to several aquariums and loved them. The San Antonio zoo had more fish tanks than they did. Couldn't feed the fish.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: This place is cool they have this crazy tunnel thing. Very clean...... Way cleaner than the San Antonio aquarium. the staff was very nice and interactive with guests. The Laura woman and Gabriel kid knew their stuff. The shop is a little overpriced. But overall experience better than the San Antonio aquarium
Hi Frank! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Was very pleasantly surprised at how good of an aquarium it is for being in a mall. Took the grandson there and he had an amazing time. Just seeing him smile and his eyes light up was worth every penny. Go and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Best aquarium in SA.
Hi Joe! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our aquarium! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Such a nice aquarium!! 100% recommend it. They have many exhibits and the tour is self-guided, which is awesome because you can stay as long as you like in each tank. The staff are kind and are eager to share interesting pieces of information with the visitors– so, ask away! I recommend you buy your tickets online, and make sure to check their feeding schedules (days & times) on their website so you don't miss whatever it is you want to see. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Will come back.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We had a blast!! Staff is very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!
Experiencia positiva: Great place for kids 12 and under.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad you had a great time! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Pretty cool Aquarium, a bit small and expensive but for me it's worth the try
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad you had a great time! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We went after 3 pm and got a decent discount online. My kids took so many pictures and were having a great time pointing out all the different sea life. One notable was the really big green eel which we later found out was CJ. We talked to one of the staff members and he was very friendly and told us a lot about the animals. This is a very short experience unless you really take your time and really appreciate each tank. Overall still a great time.
Experiencia positiva: The aquarium and aquarium staff are excellent. The sales staff on the other hand were extremely unhelpful. We arrived, ordered our tickets (with an added behind the scenes tour), and waited for our scheduled time. We scanned our tickets for our scheduled time and the person operating the entrance tells us that we're supposed to arrive five minutes earlier than our scheduled time. Why in the world would the person selling tickets to us not inform us of this? So we're told to rush to the end of the entire aquarium and see if they started the tour. Unfortunately, the tour was already started. We wrap back around to the sales desk and ask what our options are. We were told as we had made our way through the aquarium we couldn't get a refund but we could refund or reschedule the behind the scenes appointment. As we had missed "the best time slot" when they're feeding the fish, we elected to refund our behind the scenes and re-enter the aquarium. If you're going to charge a higher fee for people coming in from out of town, I would think you would want to provide a quality experience; especially considering that they could be time-limited due to travel. The only quality experience was the beautiful wildlife, the photography staff who were kind and enthusiastic, the woman working the petting area was delightful and informative, and the amazing tour guide who came and talked to us personally.
Hi Joshua! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconveniences this caused.

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I just went over the 4th of July weekend and we had a great time! We went there for my 6 year old but us adults and even my young 1 year old liked seeing everything. The place was nice and clean, organized and had very friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely go back as it was a very cool place.
Hi Heather! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia negativa: When I visited today, I was using the kiosk and it said $17.99 a person. Online it even said $17.99 a person. It was ringing up over $100 for four people. We went to the cashier and he said the price is different because it is summertime. He said, kinda misleading...VERY! I don't think that is a good business practice. The price said $17.99 on the kiosk, but had hidden fees hidden in the total. That is not ok! It also wasn't worth the price we paid for how small the aquarium was...we will not return.
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. Our prices do start at $17.99 if you visit after 3PM but the prices will vary depending on day/time. Saturdays are typically higher price especially during summer as we have limited tickets. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: Great little aquarium in the mall. The kids loved seeing all the fish, even learned a few things. Plan to spend about 90 minutes here at most, especially if you are reading everything. The only gripe is parking costs after spending so much on entrance tickets.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We do offer discounted parking if you park in the mall garage and bring your ticket, it's $3 for the 2 hours and then back to the normal garage rates after. We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We are annual passholders for Legoland and have also visited the Sea Life in Orlando. My son (age 6) and I had a blast! Friendly staff, clean safe environment, clean restrooms, and so much to do that offers education as well as entertainment. Love the interactive screens. Highly recommend and we would visit again. Check out our video on our experience on Hammocks to Coasters on YouTube.
Experiencia positiva: Inside experience was nice, we saw fish and shrimp that we haven’t seen at other aquariums, we also took great pics. I took off one star because when we arrived at the register and mentioned that fathers were free for Father’s Day and it was teachers free for the entire month as advertised on social media, the people in front said they didn’t know and that teachers promo was only for yesterday which it wasn’t. They acted like they weren’t informed, yet still typed in the code to get it free. Also, their website mentions to bring in your parking garage receipt for you to pay only $3 instead of the $15 they usually charge but at this point I didn’t even mention it since they probably would have said they didn’t know about that either.
Experiencia fantástica: Incredible! We took our granddaughter thinking it was “just another aquarium.” Just the opposite! We saw so many ocean, lake, and river fish that we had never seen before in ANY aquarium. Very well presented by the staff, to include very educational information for children and adults. You can’t miss this jewel when you visit San Antonio! And, a bonus…Legoland is right next door to SeaLife!
Hi Annette! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: This was a fun experience for my 3 year old. We were here for about 45 minutes. Small area, but plenty of cool aquatic life to check out. Had a small playground towards the end. We got there when they opened at 10am so we didn’t experience any waits or overcrowding but I’m sure it gets crowded later in the day.
Experiencia positiva: Very cute indoor aquarium. Better for families with smaller children. Older kiddos may be bored or try to rush through. Great addition to a day at the mall. Tickets are cheaper when purchased in advance online.
Hi Kristie! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time and got away from the Texas heat by visiting our indoor aquarium! We really appreciate the feedback! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: We enjoyed Sealife very much, Legoland was cute too. It is so calming to watch all the marine life! I'll definitely be back. Nesto was so kind and friendly, checking up on everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a 5-star rating. If you have any feedback you would like to provide, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: Went there for our wedding anniversary with our disabled son and with our grand daughter. We really nice and had a lot of different kinds of things to see. For being in the middle of Texas, it was good. My son loved it too.
Hi Rob! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I took our daughter for her birthday and we didn't see any turtles even though they are advertised. We could have missed them though because we walked through it in 40 minutes. We did see a dead fish in one of the exhibits so that was interesting. If our daughter wanted to go again then we would go again. Staff was friendly and place was clean.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We do have one sea turtle, sorry to hear you weren't able to see her during your visit. We appreciate all feedback from our guests, and we will be sure to forward this information to the appropriate department. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium is a bit short, but you can tell the animals are well taken care of. The water is clear and there’s a good ratio of fish in the water. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back the next time we’re in San Antonio.
Experiencia fantástica: It was great walking the underwater tunnel. There are two, which the first one is quite small for kids. Then another near the end, which is longer but great to view and take pictures. Didn't notice there was a pirate statue in the tank until I looked through the camera. Small platform to let you pet starfish and sea urchins but be warned, the water is very cold.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I thought it was wonderful! My kids enjoyed it so much

Experiencia fantástica: Had such a GREAT TIME! Parked at River Center Mall Parking Garage. Went early. When you get there, go into River center Mall as this venue is inside. Had 3 options for ticket purchase: Groupon (if using Groupon buy in advance because certain slots allotted per each day), On Line or directly at venue. It does have you choose time slot so if your family runs late wait to get there to purchase on line or there as you can choose slot and go in quicker. We chose to purchase at venue and chose 2 for 1 price which included Legoland. We went on a Thursday on Springbreak. There were 12 of including baby in a stroller. Getting there by 1130am was good. We got in pretty quick. The later you wait, more the crowd you have to stay in line. The temperature inside was very nice and this aquarium didn't smell and didn't feel humid. Little dark in there so just keep tabs on the little ones. We all LOVED IT! From ages 2,4,11,15,18,26,30,33 and 60! It was not too short but not too long either. The glass tunnel was cute.
Hi Lori! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Small but my kiddo enjoyed it, especially on a weekday where we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Restrooms were very clean and Inclusive ans well!! Only thing that bothers me is when you purchase tickets at the kiosk in store, the pricing is $24.99 for Sealife+digital photo. That is the only option you really have if purchasing in person (additional ticket was more for a back stage experience). I’m glad I caught on as the prices for tickets online are only $14.99 (13.99 for Bexar residents) and we still received a slip for our “free” digital photos. That’s a $10 difference per person and they said the $24.99 is the only tickets they offered. If you’re visiting, buy your tickets online!!!
Hi Anna! I'm glad your kiddo enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that your experience was not a positive one. We do offer discounted tickets for Bexar residents which must be purchased online. If you have additional feedback you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia positiva: It was nice, somewhat small but for our young kids I'm sure they loved it. The area where you can touch the stingray had a long line so we skipped it, but we were not going to touch them anyways.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Recommend purchasing the combination ticket with Legoland. They are adjacent. We wentmid-morning, and Sea Life was a nice winding down. The staff directs the flow of visitors to entry points and keeps confusion to a minimum. Exhibits are simply stunning. Photo opportunities are plentiful, even with the subdued lighting. The indoor playground has comfortable seating for parent supervision, with good wi-fi reception. Very well maintained. There is a well supervised sensory tank.
Experiencia positiva: Started off badly at ticket purchase terminal due to misleading info about ticket costs. When I mentioned it to an employee, I could tell that he had to deal with this complaint quite often. The staff work hard to be helpful, patient, friendly and enthusiastic. They make all the difference.
Hi Candy! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad our team members were able to turn your experience around. We really appreciate the feedback on our staff! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: This was our first visit, and I was impressed. Katherine, a Sea Life team member, gave us a private tour and introduced us to the residents of the aquarium!! The exhibits seemed very enriched, and the fish were beautiful! The decor and overall atmosphere were awesome, and my kids had fun.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Great place to visit, it’s inside the River Center Mall next to Legoland. Staff are extra friendly and it’s a good place to visit.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, we really appreciate this feedback and are so glad you had such a BRICKTASTIC experience! We cannot wait to welcome you back soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Small aquarium but they make due with what they have. Plenty of fish to see and explore. Every single one of the staff members were knowledgeable about the aquarium and they all seemed to be in a great mood, it really made the experience that much better. Would recommend.
Hi Linda! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you again soon! :)
Experiencia fantástica: There was so much to look at!! I was trying to capture it all!! I really enjoyed this aquarium, I will definitely be going back again!! It really is fun for the whole family!!

Hi Erica! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad your family had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Awesome attraction, so much to see. More fun and interactive, then Lego land.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia negativa: The workers were really friendly, but I don't think it was worth the money. It took us about 15 minutes to get through the whole aquarium. It was pretty sad, to be honest, there was only 1 sea turtle in the tank and it seemed very sick. At least sick enough for my group to realize that it seemed very out of it. I just hope it gets the care it needs before it's too late!
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Our aquarium, on average, takes about an hour to do a complete visit when stopping at each of our 10 interactive exhibits. Regarding our green sea turtle, Guacamole, we do currently have only one. She is a rescued sea turtle that, prior to joining us in 2021, had sustained significant injuries in the wild. Today, as a non-releasable turtle because of those permanent injuries, Guacamole is well suited for aquarium life in a controlled and safe environment. Like all our sea creatures, Guacamole is closely monitored and cared for on a daily basis. We have a team of aquarists and a curator who manage the well-being of all the sea creatures in our aquarium. Please feel free to contact us with any other questions.
Experiencia fantástica: Kid's loved it. Edward, went above and beyond, he gave our group an impromptu tour and patiently answered all our kids questions. He made it a really memorable and informative experience.
Hi Paul! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad Edward was able to give you all a great and memorable time! We will be sure to pass this along to Edward! We really appreciate this feedback! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is really cool. We did the BTS add on it was awesome. My 8 yo loved every second. We like going to aquariums whenever we get the chance, so I was worried this was gonna be a let down for the price but it's not. Definitely worth the cost.
Experiencia negativa: I asked if they had military discount they said only online. I told them I'm here now in front of you with a military id. He said only online. I buy the tickets go to next area. He ask for id so I gave him my military id since it was already out. He said I needed a state id to make sure I was a resident. I told him this is a government id. Again he says he needs to see a state id. I said a government id is an acceptable form id by the U.S. government. He said I bought tickets as a local resident so I need to verify that I am. So whatever. I show my state id. Employees were really rude. It's smaller than the other 2 I've been yet asking for the same price. The water quality of the aquarium was very good.
Experiencia positiva: My son loves sharks! The aquarium was very clean, and staff very polite and patient, answering alllll of his questions about the animals. We were able to buy tickets for local resident price, just had to show proof of residency.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We're so glad your son had a great time and got to enjoy our aquarium at a discounted price for locals! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
Experiencia negativa: Wanted to see the aquarium today but was sorely disappointed and decided it was not worth it. Since the last time we visited they are now using kiosk ticketing. 2 residents at $19.99 each should be $39.98 + tax. Instead the kiosk says it is $43.98 + tax. The employee could not explain the discrepancy and offered no way to correct the issue so we left. Not to mention the absurd amount of add ons and screens for two tickets.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that you did not get to experience our attraction as you had hoped. Currently, we utilize online dynamic pricing, where guests who book tickets through our websites in advance of their visit can find less expensive ticket prices based on date and time they would like to visit and ticket availability. Dynamic pricing is not available on our kiosks or POS system, therefore, less expensive tickets are usually available on our website. Our tickets yesterday, for example, were $21.99 plus tax at kiosk/POS and $19.99 online. We apologize for any inconvenience and confusion this may have caused, and we will be sure to remind our Admissions team so they can fully answer guest questions in the future. Thanks again for contacting us. We appreciate your feedback. If you have additional comments or questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Experiencia fantástica: I recently visited a really amazing aquarium and I couldn't wait to share my experience with you. Trust me, it's definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area! Upon entering the aquarium, I was immediately captivated by the vibrant colors and the lively atmosphere. The place was teeming with a variety of marine life, from the smallest clownfish to the majestic sea turtles. The beautiful displays and well-maintained tanks truly showcased the wonders of the underwater world. One of the highlights of my visit was the breathtaking underwater tunnel. Walking through it felt like diving into another dimension. I was surrounded by mesmerizing schools of fish of all shapes and sizes, gracefully gliding above me. It was a surreal experience, as if I was actually swimming alongside them. I even spotted a few stingrays gracefully gliding by! What really impressed me about this aquarium was their commitment to conservation and education. They had informative signs and interactive exhibits, teaching visitors about the importance of protecting marine life and preserving their habitats. It was truly heartwarming to see the effort put into raising awareness and inspiring the next generation of marine enthusiasts. If you're a fan of marine mammals, you'll be delighted to know that there were even dolphins and seals performing in their own designated areas. It was a joy watching them exhibit their natural behaviors and tricks. They seemed happy and well taken care of, which was a relief to see. The aquarium also had a great café with a panoramic view of the ocean, where I enjoyed a delicious meal while taking in the breathtaking scenery. It was the perfect way to relax and soak in the overall experience. In conclusion, visiting this aquarium was an absolute delight. It's a place that clearly cares about the well-being of the animals and the education of its visitors. I highly recommend checking it out if you have the chance. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! I hope you found this information helpful, and I truly hope you're able to visit this remarkable aquarium soon. Let me know if you have any questions or need any more details. I'd be more than happy to help. Take care and talk to you soon!
Experiencia fantástica: 2nd time here and I was impressed to see new fish and how some have grown (it’s been about a year since I was last here). Staff is always friendly and they are very knowledgeable about the fish. Always a great experience
Hi Chloe! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this JAW-some review! We love the pictures you attached! We're so glad you enjoyed your 2nd visit with us! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience for such a great price! I couldn’t believe the variety of interesting fish and creatures they had. The staff were super knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! I definitely recommend planning ahead for parking and walking into the exhibit if you have small kids or are mobility impaired, the signage in the mall took us the long way around the building in the heat. We will definitely be back!
Hi Mariah! Thanks for taking the time to leave us this fin-tastic review! We're so glad you had a great time! We really appreciate the feedback on our staff and exhibits! We hope to host you and your family again soon!
