    Was kinda excited to see an aquarium. What you see in the pick is what it is. Very nice tank, and the fish all look healthy. There's really not much to see. It is located inside Silverton casino. Adjacent is Bass Pro Shop. I was there 9am. Ghost town. No shops or food open. There is Starbucks, they probably open at 6am. Nice, but don't make a special trip just to see the aquarium.

    This beautiful aquarium is Free, and hosts many sea animals from sting ray to small sharks. Unbelievably, the visitors can also enjoy the free highly rated live mermaid shows happening twice daily. Classes for mermaid training also available.

    I really enjoyed my visit to the aquarium. The big highlight is seeing the mermaids swim in the tank. I youngest is 4 years old & she was over the moon when I sent pictures to her of the mermaid swimming & blowing bubbles underwater. She has declared she wants to be a mermaid now. I look forward to coming back in the future with my little one. They have beautiful mermaid art & one that looks like my daughter. She was very happy about that too.

    If your kids love ❀️ mermaids πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ and fish 🐠 just drive a little outside the strip to this casino. This free entrance aquarium is well maintained and easy to access. The kids can stand close to the glass and enjoy the colorful fishes and also the mermaids.

    If your looking for an kid friendly environment about 15 mins or more from the strip you can visit the free Aquarium at Silverton Casino. Plenty of parking an a bonus with shopping at Bass Pro Shop. The kids will stay entertained with the fish and the show while you can still have adult entertainment. Great lodging for an family.

    FREE99!! Free parking garage, free mermaid show. I was pleasantly surprised that they had a holiday festive theme to the aquarium decorations. This was thanksgiving and I can't wait to see what they have for xmas. They really do have a resident marine biologist that takes audience Q&A while swimming underwater and feeding the fish. It's adorable! They also have a wall behind the tank lined with mermaid themed gorgeous artwork (which is up for sale). The casino area immediately around the tank is clean, smoke-free and aquatic themed. 4 stars only because aquarium was smaller than I wanted.

    The aquarium at Silverton is full of so many species of fish. The kids will love it. There is a free educational show with a diver and speaker discussing the fish and frequent appearances of a mermaid πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ that blows kisses to the babies. There is an indoor waterfalls and pond with koi between the Aquarium and connected Bass pro shop for Dad. The Pro shop has an additional aquarium with bass and surgeon in it.

    This aquarium is absolutely beautiful and wonderous. The silverton is also very classy. I was highly impressed at how nice it was inside the casino and surrounding areas. The next time I am in Vegas. You will most definitely be the hotel at which I stay.

    The best is feeding time. The aquarium is very nice. What I didn't like was the mermaid show out of all of them. There was only one that really showed any ability to swim. The rest of them, other than being overweight, didn't make an effort to swim. There were at the bottom of the tank blowing kisses and making gestures at the kids. Nothing to do with being a

    This is an excellent aquarium with a huge range of tropical marine fish. It ranges from tangs to stingrays and many more. The fish are huge and look healthy and lively. They also have seasonal exhibitions where a Christmas elf mermaid swims around and engages with the viewers, for example. Great free place to see a huge aquarium with a wide range of fish.

    My kids loved the mermaid experience and all the fish. Mermaid times are posted on their wedsite and its also all free to see. Great area with gambling and shopping all in the same spot too. Definitely take your littles to see a mermaid or pay to be one if older than 7 :)

    If you just want to see the aquarium and bass pro shop, enter at the door at the Bass Pro shop. 1:30 and 4:30 a scuba diver hand feeds the rays and tuna and will answer questions you may have about the fish. Truly beautiful aquarium but the fish feeding experience was what made the trip to it worthwhile.

    One of the free best things to do in Vegas. This features a swimming mermaid in their aquarium. Mermaid shows are from 4pm to 8pm on Mon-Wed, 12pm to 8pm on Thu-Sat, & 11am to 6pm on Sunday

    A great FREE experience for families! Very large aquarium with colorful fish and rays. The Mermaid was fun, interactive with the kids, and even played with the fish. Note: this Aquarium is located where the Silverton Casino and Bass Pro Shop connect.

    Mermaid show was nice for toddlers but 5 year old immediately saw through the cloth tail immediately. We know they are not real mermaids however kids always want to believe and this one didn't do it. I rate it overall 4 stars for the beautiful aquarium itself. The stingrays were a bigger hit and saved the day. Afterwards walking around Bass Pro Shops and seeing the dioramas was educational. Overall worth your time as it is absolutely free.

    Small casino, compared to most, but has a small nicely designed aquarium with a large variety of sea rays and fish. I actually think it's not big enough for as many sea creatures they keep in it. A scuba diver "feeding show" only fed a couple of the "trained" manta rays, the other creatures didn't get fed even though they seemed hungry. Then there's the one mermaid show. Nice attraction the kids enjoy, and the men. It's a Free show.

    The aquarium at Silverton Casino is one of the free things to do in Las Vegas list. The Aquarium is small but they do the good job on the little mermaid show. It smart way to get more people go to The casino.

    I’ve taken my daughter multiple times to see the mermaid but we’ve never actually seen her! The aquarium is very serene and calm. We enjoy sitting in various spots and just watching the sea life.

  • 5/5 Dustin J. 3 years ago on Google
    Fun for adults and children alike! They have mermaid shows every 15-30 minutes where a live actor gets inside the tank they also have a great selection of fish and sea life in the aquarium. The aquarium is massive and the sea life inside seem very happy and taken good care of which of course is most important.

    Amazing aquarium and art gallery in the lobby of the Silverton. Worth stopping by if you're in the area, but not going out of the way for. Huge assortment of giant fish and a mermaid every now and then.

    Fun place. Off the strip, a little different from what you expect. My girlfriend was having a tough day and I took her to see the mermaid and as cheesy as that might seem, she appreciated it

    This is a beautiful, well maintained aquarium. At least right now, on Saturdays and Sundays there are mermaids in the aquarium in the late morning. You can pay if you want to be in the tank with them. The tank has a wide variety of fish: sharks, sting rays, puffer fish, clown fish, etc.

  • 5/5 Diana G. 10 months ago on Google
    The interactive stingray feeding was so cool. Hubby and I came for bass pro shops and stayed for aquarium. It was so fun to just sit and watch the thousand of fish. So many types and sizes. Definitely a hidden gem the casino was not packed at all made for a wonderful visit.

    Great to bring kids. They hired a mermaid who interacts with people from the other side of the glass. She looks like she loves her job. It's right next to the outdoors shop. Make sure you visit if you go to cracker barrel or something.

    So cool! Definitely worth the stop! Aquarium alone is beautiful. Add the mermaids and its the best I'd say! Kids loved it. Check schedule online for Mermaid times!

    117,000 gallons of beauty! Whatever fish with the exception of piranha and sharks you will see. It has 360 viewing so although not spacious, everyone can enjoy. Missed the mermaid show though.

    This was the cutest visit we've ever had. It's my first time ever seen the mermaid show it was spectacular. I love how the mermaids interacted with the children that were on the other side of the glass. Needless to say they enjoyed the interaction. It definitely recommend visiting and checking out this cute aquarium!

  • 5/5 Bernardo D. 2 years ago on Google
    Free attraction. At certain times throughout the day there's a live feeding of the stingrays. The diver who performs the feeding provides informative commentary as he swims through the tank. There's also mermaids scheduled during the week. Perfect for kids, or a simple date, or photo opportunity.

    Cool free aquarium 🐠 🐟 … mermaid was swimming around with the fishies 🀿

  • 5/5 Feelin N. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the tank and the atmosphere of the Silverton

  • 4/5 Arthur H. 1 year ago on Google
    There is nothing special about this aquarium. My granddaughters enjoyed the fish and the "mermaid" for around 15 minutes. Other than this, there isn't much else for young children to do. Plus it is located at the entrance of the casino which I think prevents even more people coming to see "just" the aquarium.

  • 5/5 Tina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a great scene! Love the massive aquarium and its a bonus when the mermaid is in the tank!

  • 4/5 Jessica P. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a fun, free little outing after we visited a jumpy place near by. My kids thought the mermaid was really cool.

  • 3/5 Hope B. 1 year ago on Google
    I was rather disappointed. It wasn’t what I expected. However, the tanks are very nice and full of beautiful sea creatures.

  • 5/5 Veronica E. 1 year ago on Google
    For a free little show it was great. I took my 6,5 and 3 year old and they were all so amazed by the mermaids. Right next to it is Bass Pro Shops where they have more fish tanks and a lot of animal displays. It was a fun time for the family.

  • 2/5 Jerome W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a pit stop to a better casino. The food is absolutely over priced and it's a small space. The mermaid πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ show and aquarium attractions are probably the only highlight.

  • 4/5 wes A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Karen B. 10 months ago on Google
    The aquarium had beautiful fish and cool stingrays. The Mermaid was beautiful and all the little kids had so much fun watching her. Great free attraction to bring the kids to.

  • 5/5 Ju Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Want to see a merperson? πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ§œβ€β™‚οΈ Of course you do πŸ˜‰ We definitely wanted to. And not surprising, it's possible in Las Vegas 🐟 Definitely a must see!! "In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. The male equivalent of the mermaid is the merman, also a familiar figure in folklore and heraldry. Although traditions about and sightings of mermen are less common than those of mermaids, they are generally assumed to co-exist with their female counterparts. The male and the female collectively are sometimes referred to as merfolk or merpeople."

  • 5/5 DJ I. 9 months ago on Google
    This is a great place to take kids. It's free, interactive and amazing to see. Do many of the kids are so excited. I honestly think that was my favorite part. The mermaids were really cool. We then walked through every four of the bass pro shop. So much to see!

  • 5/5 5shs722 2 months ago on Google β€’ 45 reviews New
    The Aquarium is so nice to see, it is a big Tank in the silverton casino. It has so many different fish to watch swim around. They have a mermaid show and you can watch as divers feed the stingrays too. Its alot of fun to watch and they even do a Q and A for kids. Reconmend if you have little ones.

    Everything I saw sold this as an extravagant experience however my 3 kids were bored by the aquarium and the mermaid swim experience lasted all of 30 seconds from our side. My daughters did enjoy the mermaid pictures that were available however that wasn't part of the aquarium it is it's own entity.
