It was such an amazing experience. My husband got to dive into a tank & had a wonderful time. Lots of unique fish & sea life
Visited here while I was in pheonix and had a blast here. Walked around for 2 hours just taking photos and enjoying all the different types of animals here. Interacting with the sting rays was really cool as well.

2023-Sept, Saturday, Labor Day weekend
We bought the 4-ticket package online - Odysea Aquarium, Butterfly Wonderland, Laser/Mirror Maze, and Ripley's Believe It or Not. It was about $90+ tax & fees for adults, and cheaper for children. We also bought a $16 for $20 play for the Cyber Quest Arcade. We bought separate tickets for the Museum of Illusions.
The Odysea Aquarium was on the Arizona Boardwalk. There were lots of parking spaces even though it was Labor Day weekend.
The Aquarium was busy. One thing that stood out was one wall of the restroom was part of a big Aquarium. So it was cool to see the marine life.
And as you look up inside the entrance, there are giant bubble aquarium chandeliers!
Also, this Aquarium has a rotating Aquarium. You take a seat (like a movie theater), and the room where you are seated rotates slowly. You will see 5 or 6 different aquariums as your room rotates.
There was a food area, restrooms, hands-on exhibits, some hand-wash stations, and lots more.
Hope you enjoy your visit here 🐠🐡🐟🦈

Great place for a family outing, but it is quite pricey, $45/adult & $35/child (2-12). Not sure if the weekends have a lot more shows going on, but we were only able to catch one show at the end of our visit.
The staff were knowledgeable and friendly and there was a lot to see!

This place is brilliant to visit especially when you want to get some AC and avoid the August sun. They have lots to see and don’t forget to visit the theatre room for the 20 minute ride to see the rotating room. Around $40 an adult and $30 child with free parking. Lots of other places to visit in the same center like the butterfly garden
I recently went and had an amazing experience at Odyssey Aquarium in Scottsdale! Everything was beautiful, and the variety of activities and things to see surpassed my expectations. Having been to other aquariums, this one truly stands out. I'll definitely be returning; it's the perfect place to enjoy a day with the family and create wonderful memories with the kids. Highly recommended! 🐠🐢🦈
OdySea Aquarium is fun for the ENTIRE family! It is worth every penny! They have a variety of different ticket packages and love that they offer discount tickets @ $31.45/person after 4:30pm (they close at 7pm). I definitely recommend purchasing tickets online ahead of time. The experience is phenomenal- both educational, relaxing, awe- inspiring, all of the above! Visiting on a weekday after 4:30pm is your best bet to miss the crowds… it thankfully wasn’t too busy on our last visit but the place certainly gets packed! They have a variety of other attractions in the area as well- Butterfly Wonderland, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Laser Tag. We did not partake in any of these extra on our visit but they do offer bundle packages if you are into it!
This is a great place to take family if they are visiting from out of town or an enjoyable way to stay cool in the afternoon and keep the kids busy.
Don’t forget to check out their award winning bathrooms! Seriously, they’re insane!

Great Aquarium with tons of things to see and do! They have a water table that was an absolute hit for toddlers, the table was packed and parents were having a hard time pulling their kids away from it! There is a touch pool and Stingray touch pool as well for no extra cost which is decent. You can also purchase VR experiences which was awesome, but they are a little costly. The food and drinks was also very expensive, be prepared to spend 6 dollars on a small rice crispy treat, or bring your own food. :) The moving Carousel was an awesome part of the aquarium. You choose a seat and you are rotated around to 5 different exhibits while you are told facts about the animals from the employees, it was very cute! The only thing I would warn you is it puts you out at the end of the aquarium, so you would have to re enter into the aquarium and walk all the way back through it from the beginning to get to where you were when you boarded it. It really was an awesome thing though!
