It's fun to come here to see the different types of stuff life but it's kinda small. I only go when my company is offering free or discounted tickets. Dolphin shows are fun to watch. Last time I went there was a lot of baby stroller traffic. It's also fun to hang out in Coney Island after.
This is still in the process of being rebuilt but whatever was done so far was impressive. There were many species of fish and a few interactive parts- which is great for kids. The sea lion show was fun to watch and the 4D movie was even better! Overall the place is up to date and very informative.
Even though it was still under construction, the assortment of sea creatures was amazing. You can hardly tell that about half of the aquarium is off limits due to construction, the exhibits that were kept open are excellent and well maintained.
They are in the process of renovating half of the Aquarium, as a result the ticket prices were reduced by about 50%. The fish in the Aquarium are diverse and some of them are very interesting. It is a great educational place to go for a few hours with children. The Sea Lion loves to "laugh" and they have a 4-D theatre that kids also love. I personally got the season passes to all the Zoos under this umbrella which includes the Bronx, Queens, Central Park Zoo.
Avoid the aquarium on weekends and when schools are closed if you do not like small children running around all over the place.
Great place. Great family atmosphere. Friendly people all around, really a great place to spend with family and friends. Also, please don't forget to attend the sea lions show hosted at different times of the day. Really good and educational show.
