Surprising gem in mall!
My husband and I visited on a Thursday afternoon in August. I purchased tickets online in advance and was able to save 25%. Location is in the mall by former Lord & Taylor store. We only spent about an hour walking through aquarium. We are not big on interacting with animals but if you are, I can see spending a lot more time there as there were a lot of opportunities to interact. Some options were included and others had an additional fee. The signage was easy to read and understand. There were some animals that I had never seen before. Some parts of pathway were more narrow so it may be difficult to access when it is crowded. Otherwise, you can always loop back around to see anything you missed. I was disappointed that most of the materials within non-water tanks were plastic or rubber (picture shows grass "carpet" and rubber interlocking tiles) which doesn't create natural habitat for animals. We walked by a nice sized room that looked to be set up for party. The few employees we saw with animals sounded friendly and informative. I will most likely bring my nephews who enjoy petting animals because it's a great opportunity for that here. There were vending machine and bathrooms along pathway for easy access.

From MD. Mom bought tickets and the stuff I was seeing looked scary bad. But I tell you these critters are very well managed!! Everybody had a blast.
My autistic child had a little meltdown and the girl with the awesome axolotl earrings helped greatly showing us books and toys.
All and all worth the money!!

Fun afternoon. It says 3 hours but we made it through in about 1.5 hours. Def. Interactive feeding the animals but some didn’t want to eat anymore. This place is only 1 level and you go around in a big circle.
I was on my way home and got stranded at the nearby airport. I got a Lyft to the mall and was very surprised to find this awesome aquarium inside. I spent most of the afternoon here and enjoyed every minute of it. I want to thank Rich for convincing me to go snorkeling in the giant tank, where I got to meet Pickles! Alley and Christine were very helpful from the start. They made the trip to the aquarium worth it. I felt right at home. I wish I had more time there. Definitely worth the visit. There's soo much to do and see in a surprisingly large aquarium. You can interact with so many of the animals by feeding them or petting them. The people here truly care about the animals as well. 💕 🐠 🦈 🦜 ⭐ 🦎 🦆 🐢 🐇🐆🪿🪳🐍 💕
For the first timers like us, we were having trouble looking for the entrance to this place because our GPS led us to the parking lot in front of Lord and Taylor that was out of business. So we called and we were told to go around and there’s another parking lot in front of Dave and Busters and there was an entrance behind Lord and Taylor. Seaquest is on the lower level of the mall. It’s an amazing experience for the kids and adults alike. It’s so wonderful that you can interact with some animals and feed the fishes with rules to follow. Admission fee is reasonable. You have to pay with tokens to be able to get food from the dispensers to feed the fish. You also need tokens to interact with animals. Tokens and tickets can be bought at the gift shop when you enter or buy them online and claim them when you get there. 1 token per person except children below 4 years old, is needed to interact with parakeets which was worth it. 3 tokens per person except children below 2 years old is needed to interact with Bengal cats and so on. The staff were very pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about their jobs. We had so much fun and I highly recommend this place!
My family had a wonderful time visiting! The kids were super excited. The manager Christine and team members Brandon and Rich were amazing. I did have a personal problem happen and the manger took the time to listen and explain the different options available. Everything is clean and well kept. Customer service was very welcoming. Thank You Christine, Rich and Brandon!!!
Even though it is not a very big place, we spent 2 hours there and could have spent even more, because it was so amazing and so captivating. First, you can feed pretty much most species of animals that they have, you can also pet most of them and even hold some of them. Of course, since it is animals, you have to be respectful of their daily routine, so even though we had an appointment to pet and feed the sloth, she fell asleep and we just got credited for next time.
The staff is absolutely amazing. All of them were very helpful, very friendly and willing to answer any questions or any requests that we had about any animals or anything else about their establishment. We took a lot of pictures and video, and were just amazed. Our son, he is a 22 with a spectrum of autism, so seeing him smile and enjoy himself was a blessing and we loved every second of it. Overall we all had such a great time that we vowed to return again soon. Great place to bring a family and spend a few hours.
