We visited on a weekday, it wasn't busy at all. No lines and we were able to explore every room without a time limit.
Great tanks, clean and with a toddler, we were in and out in about 45 min.
She wasn't interested in touching the starfish or listening to the presentations. We did the stamps, which she had fun finding throughout.

It has been extremely hot outside, so we came here for an indoor activity. The aquarium is really cute, but extremely small. I think if it wasn’t for the scavenger like hunt for the kids and the touch tank, you can finish this place in 30 mins (at the end of the hunt the kids get a bracelet). We spent maybe an hour here at the most. Price seemed high for what it is, but I guess due to the location I can understand the pricing for admission.
Nice time with the family with an interactive sea life experience at the end! There are also other things to do in Icon Park, although a few outdoor activities seemed to be closed today due to the rain from Idalia. P.S. If you park on the 4th floor of the garage, there are some free parking spaces.
It's just amazing every time we go. Our 5 year old son loved the VR experience. He was completely involved and had so many great questions afterward. The staff was kind, patient, and exciting to learn from. My son loved the huge turtles and the different sharks. It was full but still ample space for a stroller, child, and 2 adults. I wish they had an annual pass or it was a part of the museum packages like Orlando Science Center. It's definitely educational while being fun. We will go back soon for sure.
Very nice and clean aquarium. Perfect for families with littles. Take your time and enjoy the sea life. The turtle and tube were amazing. Wish there was more but enjoyable if your looking to stay out of the heat.
Looking for a way out of the heat and something a little more relaxing than another theme park, we found the SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium. It says to purchase tickets ahead online (which you can) but we wanted to take advantage of the AZA zoo membership discount through the partnership program and elected to purchase tickets when we arrived. Purchasing tickets went smoothly and they helped us get set up with our discount. They took our family photo upon entering the aquarium, which turned out nicely, but we decided not to purchase the photo. They had printed out the photo before we reached the end but we could have decided by viewing the photos at the kiosk which would have saved them printing costs.
Back to the aquarium, after reading reviews I was worried that it wouldn't take us long to go through but with our 2 (almost 3) year old twins we spent a solid two hours touring the facility and exhibits. The aquarium had some fun facts throughout and a decent variety of fish to see. Their bigger tank and 360 tunnel were the stars of the show. The exhibits had quite a few of those pop up areas where kiddos could crawl under and pop their head up "inside" the tank which they loved and there were plenty of places down low for them to get a good view without being picked up which was nice for us. Overall, with our discount it was a great value for the money. I would recommend this exhibit for those looking for a more relaxing way to escape the summer heat.

Sea Life is a "chain" aquarium with aquariums all over the world. At this location you HAVE to buy tickets on line and can not just walk up and buy tickets. What was very disappointing, was that there were coupons in the Orlando magazine specifically for this aqaurium that expired at the end of July and they would not honor them. The aquarium is well maintained and is in Icon Park so other attractions near by. Parking is free which is a plus and it's a covered garage. The line to get in did go out the front door and we had to wait in the hot sun for a bit but that was expected as it's a weekend. It was a very busy day but did not feel too crowded walking around. The 360 tunnel was neat, but small and nothing special in that tank swimming overhead. There is a small touch tank at the end of the aquarium right before it ends at the gift shop. There is a behind the scenes tour for only $10 that looked really neat but we did not have time to do it. Overall it's a good aquarium, very well maintained, and worth a visit. I would do a package deal and add the other attractions and save some money.
