    Great experience!!! The best aquarium I’ve ever been too. Your able to get up close and person with all of the aquatic animals. The aquarium itself is so beautiful and the employees are extremely kind and caring. The food court is a bit price but the food is delicious. Many public bathrooms spread out throughout the aquarium. And the sea lion show spreads a good message about pollution well also making and interesting and quit hilarious performance

    Visited the NY Aquarium and it was quite empty which was great because we took our time visiting the exhibits. The highlight was the playquarium center which finally opened. There are different activities and interactive play areas inside the center. Also different animal exhibits which was nice. They have a touch tank too but it was closed. Their 4D show was entertaining.

    I’ve been to this aquarium 2x now and both were great experiences! If you go on Wednesday’s at 3 you can get in free/donation. (Check website for details…you have to book the Monday prior)Today when we got there they had a seal lion show that was a lot of fun. It is winter so it’s easy to find street parking just outside the gate.

    My parents really enjoyed this place. We had great time. They have sea lion show. It was great. And they have a shark tank tunnel. That is very cool. And also they have 4D show. That includes to the general ticket. Only difficulty was parking. Aquarium has paid parking. I think it’s $18 for 3 hours. But the day we went it was full. We had to drive more than 30 min to find a place to drive. So make sure you go early to find a parking place. Specially in summer time.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. You can see all the exhibits in about two hours (including time for a snack at the cafe). Staff are friendly and helpful. They clearly are working on the infrastructure and exhibits, but what is open is really well done. Great for families with kids. Lots of kid-centered exhibits and activities.

    I was at the aquarium from about 2:15 to 4:45 so there was lots to see. While this is the smallest aquarium that I've visited, there was not any less fun. The fish tunnel and large glass wall were very cool. However, the outside exhibits were my favorite. The sea lions and penguins were so adorable. There is also an area where you can see them under water! Unfortunately, there are still no otters. While other aquariums have more fish, the most spectacular thing I've seen at an aquarium was the sea lion show at the New York Aquarium. Shouts out to Townsend! He is so talented. I also was lucky enough to see the penguins during feeding time. I've never seen so many penguins before. I left the aquarium with lots of special memories and I know that I will return one day to visit the penguins again. I hope to see the otters!

    Very amusing and interesting venue! Great family attraction as for it welcomes all ages. If you're into ocean life this is for you. The animals are very captivating as you don't know how they're gonna react. Tickets and food is pretty pricey but considering you can stay as long as you like and the cost it takes to maintain this place, I say it's definitely worth it. I wouldn't go here more than twice a year tho, as much probably doesn't change quite often.

    This is a really great place, lots to learn while walking through. Safely give yourself 2 hours to get through the aquarium and make sure you make it to the Aqua theater. It’s a great place for kids and adults alike. Do not go on the ‘free day’ which are Wednesday afternoons way too many people to thoroughly enjoy. It was raining when I went and they insisted on keeping us outside until 3 o’clock? I felt that was unreasonable, they should have just let people in. Good experience, subway is located right opposite the Aquarium gates.

    Don't go on the free days...way too crowded to be really enjoyable. It's big and seems nice...but one large exhibit was under construction or something like that and for some reason the touch pool was closed...seems strange since it's likely one of the aquariums busiest days of the week. There was also no staff members in sight outside of the shop keepers and custodians near closing...that doesn't make sense to me because what if something had an issue and needed assistance? Many of the animals outside (seals and such) were asleep so..not very exciting or interesting. It's difficult to rate it accurately, 3 stars for potential because maybe it really is great and I simply didn't have a great experience 🤷🏾‍♀️

    💦💧🦈🐟🐠🐡🌊🦞🦑🦭 A classic at Coney Island and the boardwalk. Sharks, 4d theatre, daily performances from sea lion... and the list goes on. Well worth it for the whole family, kids and parents alike. Better than what is in the American Dream Mall. The aquarium also has been renovated several years ago, so it looks super modern.

    First school trip there and it was worth it. It was cold, so they weren't many people there. It's completely different with so few people around. The live seal show was so much fun for the kids. We saw the penguins and sharks. The otter exhibit was closed. They had a fun interactive area for the kids to play. I would definitely go back again on a warmer day. Also the food at the Cafe was very good but a little pricey.

    Very cool place! I like that in America they know how to make museums, aquariums and other educational institutions really attractive to people of all ages. Though small, but very interesting aquarium. Quite a lot of fish species, unusual aquariums and pleasant staff allow you to really enjoy your visit. Periodically, various shows are held with the participation of dolphins, seals, walruses, penguins and others. They have themed weeks dedicated to individual species. It's nice to see that the staff really cares about their wards.

    An amazing aquarium! If you can manage to go on a weekday, or as soon as it opens on a weekend, it's super quiet and empty. Really makes you feel like you're underwater. The tunnel and canyon's end tanks are my favorites. I wish they had more special programs though, like wild encounters or special feedings to watch like they do at the zoos. I'd love to see the shark feeding.

    great place!!! There are many types of beautiful and rare fish that you don't see in any other aquarium. I walked alone and really enjoyed every moment. There is a place outside with pools and you can see seals. The place is cozy and nice with a good atmosphere.

    NY Aquarium has been recently renovated and got an additions like shark tank. Reserve some time for a visit, take your camera, bring your children and friends and enjoy amazing views if aquatic life. Jelly fish pavilion has magical dark rooms with many types of rare species. Educate yourself with well done supporting information and scientific explanations and visualizations.

    Fun place to be. They opened shark section which is amazing. Everywhere is clean, bathroom in every corner(so you don’t have to walk away to use one), outside cafeteria is nice too. Definitely good place to come with kids and have some fun.

    I would recommend the New York Aquarium to families, couples, and even to go alone. They have a beautiful selection of sea life on display. I would definitely recommend the California sea lion show, the show is probably 20 minutes to a 1/2 hour but certainly teaches all about the animals and how to treat our oceans. The New York Aquarium is very clean and they are big on recycling trash. All the workers are very helpful and kind. We went through all exhibits and saw all sea animals and shows in about 2 1/2 hours. Afterwords, we took a walk down the boardwalk at Coney Island which is located right behind the aquarium. I would also recommend looking into the membership it is worth it and you get discounts throughout the parks. Again, I would recommend The New York Aquarium.

    I loved the Aquarium. I went on Sunday and it was crowded but if it is not Covid 19 era I would say it is normal. Line is too long spent like an hour to go in ocean wonder and spineless sections and also lines to buy some food or snacks. All lines don’t care about the social distance. However, the long lines are because they allow few people to enter the sections. Overall, kids and adults will enjoy the Aquarium and aquatheater.

    The NY Aquarium recently reopened after being closed due to the COVID Pandemic. I went on Friday, 8/28/2020. They highlight the precautions and how they’re enforcing social distancing and mask wearing, but upon my visit, I saw they weren’t really doing that. Only place I saw any enforcing of mask wearing and social distancing was in the amphitheater show. Even with the online reservations, “crowd control”, and timed tickets, the aquarium was PACKED. The lines for Spineless and Sharks had absolutely no social distancing at all, everyone was standing extremely close to each other, just like standing in a line before the pandemic. Loads of people walking around without masks on. Absolutely no one was enforcing social distancing or the mask wearing. And the hand sanitizing stations were empty! WHAT?! 3/4 of the stations I went up to to get hand sanitizer had nothing in them. Inside the exhibits, it was packed with no room to even socially distance from others. Everyone was so close to others, not wearing masks. Again, saw no one enforcing, even inside the exhibits! How do you say you’re taking precautions and prioritizing safety when you’re not even doing your job right?!

    Decent aquarium, but to be honest they don't have that many exhibits. My fiance and I walked slowly through here and it took less than an hour. For the cost of tickets at 40 apiece plus parking it was almost a hundred bucks to see three decent exhibits. I mean it's cool, just really expensive.

    Amazing place: romantic (for couples), relaxing (for seniors) and magical (for kids)! Some creative parents tell their children fairy tales, while the little ones watch the mysterious underwater world... We are seniors, but we also like to stay nearby and listen to a fairy tale. Don't miss the sea lions show! All three pavilions (Conservation, Spineless and Sharks) are great! And outside you could see penguins, sea lions, otters and seals. The place is very clean, the staff are helpful and pleasant. The food is high quality and affordable. It is also allowed to bring your own meal. You can dine downstairs among the trees and flowers or upstairs on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Come and enjoy your visit!

    Best aquarium ever!!! The admission ticket is not expensive for the experience, $49.90 for two people. They open at 10 am and closes at 6 pm. The ticket admission does not include food, beverages, and parking, but the ticket is valid for the whole day. It was worth the price. Parking was $18 for 0-3 hours and $25 for more than 3 hours. They have food trucks inside if you choose to get food. I had a great experience there. My favorite moment was the 4D aqua theater. The place was clean and equipped with hand sanitizer at every exits and entrance.

    I really liked NY Aquarium since I got there in less crowded times and got to experience its peacefulness. Not sure if ticket control system works, because in like a hour of my visit there was way too many people. Great place to bring kids and family. So many unique specimens of water creatures will mesmerize you. Very well maintained place.

    A great place to bring kids of all ages. Great spaces especially if you have small children and need to not lose them. This was my first time here since they finished the construction and it was really nice. The aqua show was fun and brief, just enough for a 2 year old but it made my 7 year old excited. Bathrooms were clean and abundant, we didn't have to exit any exhibits to find one and the changing areas were available and clean.

    I would recommend you to come at 9:30 or before 11 AM because after 11 AM everyone starts coming. The Aquarium itself isn't that large but it has awesome animals to see like seals, otters, sharks, crabs and many more for you to see! And it even has a 4d movie theater.

    I am a member of the Bronx,Queens Zoo and the Brooklyn Aquarium for many years. On June 16th, 2019 I visited the Brooklyn Aquarium, after 3 hours of parking, I had to pay $20. When I filled the membership 8 years ago, they said that the parking was free for all members and for this reason, I'm going to give them only 3 star.👈

    It should be expected that the aquarium experience overall is limited due to Covid-19 concerns, and the steps they've taken to prevent the spread are unfortunate yet necessary. Most of the interactive displays and other exhibits that require touch are either turned off, or taped off. Also, the crawl-thru tunnels are blocked off. That said, there are ample hand sanitizing stations throughout the park. There are also 6' distance markers on the ground to promote (but not actually enforce) social distancing where people usually congregate at exhibits and line queues. Lines appear longer than they usually are, and are also slower as they limit the number of people entering each exhibit at a time. Masks are required. They have animal themed masks for kids and adults for $5. Staff are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! Lastly, be advised there are NO ticket sales at the park. Tickets must be ordered in advance online. Wednesdays are free after 3pm, but you STILL need to get your free tickets online. They also honor military discounts on tickets (free for military member, and 50% off for guests) as well as discounts on in-park concessions/gift shops

    This Aquarium is awesome for a a fun day out with the family. It gets 4 stars because it’s a small location but has a lot to offer . The staff is so friendly and helpful with all the curious questions you may have about these awesome creatures. They take good care of the facilities and everything is COVID friendly. Visitors and staff are required to wear face masks at all times and upon entering any exhibit. Before you leave go checkout the gift shop they have a lot of merchandise to leave with a cool memory from your visit .

    Great place to visit while in Coney Island. This isn't the biggest aquarium, but it's a nice size for a family outing. The prices were a bit high, but not insane. Parking prices were far too much for an aquarium. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. There is much to see and well worth a visit. The sea lion show was about 10 minutes which I felt was way too short.

    Very nice place to visit while in Brooklyn. The new shark exhibit was very big and cool to go to. There are also jellyfish there too, with a lot of other marine animals n stuff. They have a cool gift shop near the new addition in the new edition (they are the place where they have sharks). It’s also close to the boardwalk, which is cool. The food is overpriced tho, but it doesn’t really matter for me still. They also have a seal show each half an hour. It’s not the best i’ve ever seen, but still cool. Would recommend to go to here!

    Title: Love for Marine Life Coupled with Mixed Experiences I'm a long-time family member of the New York Aquarium, visiting at least once a year for many years like a ritual. While I appreciate the work the Aquarium is doing in marine conservation, my recent visit on June 25, 2023, left me with some mixed feelings. Over the years, the Aquarium has evolved, sometimes for the better. However, recently, the visitor experience has started to falter. The Aquarium was home to an impressive collection of marine life, including dolphins and whales, but these have been moved to other facilities. While the aquarium staff claimed that they were concerned about the animals' well-being in captivity, I can't help but wonder if this was more of a cost-saving measure. The construction of the new Sharks Exhibit disrupted the visitors' experience for four years. Despite the disturbance, the resulting exhibit and the panoramic view from the cafeteria rooftop provided a unique, refreshing perspective of Coney Island. Sadly, this experience was cut short without any explanation when the rooftop was closed to the public. The Aquarium seems to justify a continual rise in admission and membership fees by citing the costs of their ongoing projects, conservation efforts, and operational expenses. As patrons, we were willing to contribute but didn't expect a decline in the services provided. Once a highlight of the Aquarium, live marine shows have been drastically reduced in frequency and duration. The mermaid storytellers and live music performances that were a delight for children have vanished. The sea lions and dolphins' showtime has been cut from a half-hour to just 10 minutes, shortchanging young visitors of a valuable educational experience. Despite these criticisms, I must give credit where it's due. The Aquarium is undoubtedly doing crucial work in the field of marine conservation. The research on sharks, whales, and sea turtles and their breeding programs for endangered species is commendable. The educational outreach programs are vital in raising awareness among adults and children about marine life conservation. Their advocacy work in policy-making circles is also praiseworthy. Their commitment to preserving sea life is evident through their specific projects, such as protecting the Hudson Canyon habitat, monitoring the Bronx River's ecosystem, and reducing ghost nets. Ultimately, despite the less-than-stellar visitor experience lately, I am compelled to rate the NY Aquarium three stars instead of two. This extra star recognizes the Aquarium's contributions to marine conservation, which often go unseen. They are significantly impacting endangered species, reducing pollution, and raising awareness of marine conservation's importance. I still encourage families to visit the NY Aquarium. It remains a unique New York City attraction with a mission we can all get behind. However, I implore the management to focus on improving visitor services and experience without compromising their commendable work in marine conservation.

    A bit small, but still worth seeing. Variety of different types of sea life- shark aquarium, penguins, touching aquarium (you may feel what crab's shell feels like), lots of different fishes. Nice show with sea lion and seal, 4D cinema and sea restaurant. Great way to spend 2-3 hours. And the place is of course kids friendly.

    The aquarium is an overall good experience. The day I went was not too crowded. There were quite a few things to look at and experience. The inside sections were very warm, which is not ideal on a very hot day. The food and drinks were pretty pricey but not surprising for the Coney Island area. I came with the intent on seeing the sea turtles but no luck. I wish there were a few more sea animals. However, it is a smaller aquarium. Staff were friendly and attentive.

    Incredibly beautiful place that's a must visit while in New York. Children and adults can get lost in the wonder of underwater life while visiting here. There's so much to learn. The staff is kind and attentive and they will answer any questions. The place is free on Wednesdays (with prior reservation) but the $29+ ticket is definitely worth it. They've done an amazing job restoring it after the damage of hurricane Sandy. New York City is lucky to have an aquarium like this. BTW. DON'T MISS THE SEA LION SHOW

    Pretty fish! Pretty sure the coral in the conservation deck is dead though, which can't possibly be healthy for the fish. The shark exhibit was very informational and pretty. Most things weren't open or available though, since it's March, but that's more on us than the aquarium. The gift shop was mostly reasonable with prices. Overall, a nice place to visit and a good time killer.

    An old historical place of interest for visitors of Karachi is this famous zoo.Once Mahatma Gandhi Garden was converted to Zoo by British rulers in 1878.For the first time in life I visited with my elder brother in 1961 December ,then with my own children in 1990 and this time it was my grand children's turn to visit on 9th July 2017 Sunday and get educated.The lay out is same old pattern but this time cleanliness appeared improved and better.Ticket per head is only Rs.20/- Old lush green trees with animals in well kept cages have Lions,Tigers,Deer,Birds and Reptiles.One can see white lion as well.Zoo has its own veterinary hospital inside the garden.We found our kids interested in Lions,Tigers and Flamingos.

    Paring fee of Rs 100 and entry fee of Rs 50 each for 3 years old and above sounds reasonable when you see the clean and green environment. Animals are kept in an adequate environment. Some species of trees are only find here in Pakistan. The number of animals here are more than the infamous Danzoo in Bharia Town. Some new inclusions like grizzly bear and cassowary are very good. Snake house is also well maintained with a separate ticket of Rs 20. Joy rides for kids and jumping castles are also good inclusions.

    Never been here before. Was driving in the area and had time to kill so I stopped. Has both fresh and saltwater. The people were very friendly and knowledgeable. All of the fish looked very healthy and the corals looked good as well. Prices were alittle high but for a small place it's what you expect. Couple negatives is that the tanks need more lighting. It's hard to see what's in alot of the tanks. Other negative is that there was aptasia on almost every rock.I didnt look at the fresh water stuff but looked okay from a distance. I may come back to get a fish but not for rock or corals until I no longer see the aptasia.

    I'm spending a lot of time at home during the lockdown, so I thought it was time to add an adult Imperator Angel to my FOWLR tank. My favorite reef store near Colorado Springs where I live was having a hard time getting one in during the lockdown, so I did an internet search and called Pete's Aquariums. The super nice guy--I think he was the owner--picked up the phone and described to me exactly what he had in terms of stock and how long he'd had each angel. I was looking for a 4" (medium), but the smallest he had was a 6" (large), so he charged me for just the price of a medium. Free shipping too. I thought "This is great!" What was even better was when my doorbell rang, it arrived in perfect condition 2nd-day FedEx in a 25-degree Colorado blizzard from NY. It was superbly packed in 5 layers of plastic bags, probably 2-gallons of water, inside a custom-formed styrofoam shell. The water temperature had only dropped to about 69 degrees. The angel was actively swimming around inside the plastic bag, not lethargic at all. Not only was it healthy (over 1" thick, clear eyes), I would say it was 7" long. To get a show-size Emperor with full-adult colors for less than 300 shipped--couldn't beat it! It's doing great, eating everything in sight. It's also rearranging my tank to it's liking, which may sound bad but, to me, that's very good, as that shows its freely adapting to the surroundings of the tank. My show Naso Tang and other smaller fishes know who's the boss. It's a tough fish to keep, and you need to know what you're doing with such an exquisite marine animal. But if you're ready, forget about saltwaterfish.com. Call up Pete's Aquariums.

    Do not buy any fish here!! Spent a substantial amount of money only to have 4 of 5 fish die. Also infected my tank with velvet as an added bonus. Now I get to watch all my fish suffer and die. Amazing how one bad purchase can destroy a tank. Save yourself the headache and money. Pete this is the first review I have made and did not do it lightly. I would never place another one of your fish in my tank. Your suggestion that I am looking for "Google points" only proves your arrogance and lack of attention to detail. Your lack of attention has also just about killed every fish I have. Blame the customer all you want. DON'T BUY FISH FROM HERE!!

    What a great find, drove over one hour, well worth the trip, I showed Sherri a picture of my tank and the bubbles where to much and got Pete the owner to help me, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and pleasure to deal with, now on the fish they have are amazing to say the least, great selection of both salt and fresh water, but by far the best salt water selection I have seen, defiantly my main place, I don’t think I could go anyplace else now.. I’m spoiled, and will enjoy the road trip!! Great find.. definitely visit them and mention “ The Turmeric Guy “

    Visited from out of town. Spontaneous pick, and as a first time experience for me visiting an aquarium, the Oklahoma Aquarium was exceeded my expectations of what i thought an aquarium was. So many different types of aquatic species. I really enjoyed the shark aquarium which gives an the illusion by the curved glass that you are inside the tank with the sharks. And when the sharks come toward you it seems that you are face to face but actually pass right above. It was an amazing experience. 👌

    It's a good attractions for the kids, but they could have a lot more sharks. Overall I give it a 6.5 out of 10. Not worth 18 bucks though a person. I should of specified, your sharktank and exhibits were amazing but you need more of a variety of sharks. More specifically a great white would of been your 10 of 10.

    I have to say, not impressed. It's a very small aquarium, not sure if because of covid it was not lively, or if other exhibitions were canceled but we went on a Tuesday, not crowded and you do have to show proof of vaccination if you are 12 and up. I think for the money you pay between parking and entrance this place is not worth it. Just 2 buildings with some sharks a nice tunnel and the jellyfish display was amazing... other than that, no food open, no penguins or seal shows.. my 3 year old asked me where are the other fishes once we were done... so just right there you know it wasn't as fun. We literally saw everything in less than 1 hour and it took me 1.5 hrs to get there. Thank goodness we at least had lunch at sheepshead bay to make the trip worthwhile lol.

    I've been to many aquariums all over the country and I can say this one was fun to visit although not all that (1.5 hour train ride from mid-town Manhattan). Their shark and jellyfish exhibits were my favorite. The sea lion show was pretty entertaining too.

    I been coming here for years now & always enjoy my time here. The shark and octopus exhibits are so beautiful! Different types of fishes/sea creatures to see & there’s a section for kids to learn and play. Definitely come on a day it’s not so crowded so you can take pictures and enjoy better! The food court is a bit on the pricey side, but then again not surprised. Don’t forget to stop at the gift shop!

    Let me preface this review by saying that I'm from Georgia. 🍑 I love aquariums, but I'm definitely spoiled, as ours is basically known for being one of the best and biggest in the country. When I mentioned to a friend from New York that we were going to the New York Aquarium, he scoffed, and told me I could really just skip it. But I love aquariums! So I added it to our itinerary anyway. He was right; I could've skipped it. The people working there were kind, it was a pretty clean place, and I like that there's a little food court and that some of the exhibits are outdoors. We used our Sightseeing Pass and got inside easily. They even had a glass tunnel, which was cool, even if it was smaller than most I've seen (and maybe a third of the size of the Georgia Aquarium's). I didn't have a terrible time; it's just that it was very forgettable. It's small, there aren't that many creatures (by number or by type - I was particularly sad that I didn't see any seahorses), and even with leisurely walking through every exhibit, taking a lot of photos, and visiting the restroom, my husband and I were leaving in 45 minutes. It would probably be different if we had kids, since it seemed like there was a sort of play area, but we don't. I do think this place could be a nice outing for people with kids, as it seems set up for children in a lot of places. It was just a bit lackluster for a date, especially with our prior experiences at larger, more impressive aquariums. We went on a Saturday, a little over an hour before closing time (during the final sea lion show, though we didn't realize that's where everyone was, at the time), and the place was deserted. I actually recommend that time, because you can see whatever you want at your own pace and get some pretty incredible photos. I thought we wouldn't have enough time to see everything at first, but I quickly realized I was wrong. Other considerations: •The only bathrooms I saw were down stairs. •Most of the foods offered at the little food court were burgers, pizza, and other items my husband can't have (gluten allergy/Celiac Disease), and we were disappointed that there weren't any prepackaged foods available for purchase, because that could have eased allergy concerns. •The hours here are super weird! They close a lot earlier than I would've expected, so be sure you check times before you go. •Look into times when admission is free!

    Such an amazing experience, if I had to choose it would be the sea lion show or the jelly fishes. Theirs roughly 6 exhibit buildings, fish,sharks,Jelly fishes, etc… but it really was a fun place to visit even as a New York resident.

    It never gets old coming here again and again. I’ve at least been here 10 times by now and have witness how they rebuilt and reconstructed it to how it looks today - with sharks, jelly fishes and aqua theater. The sea lion show is only 7 min long but it’s worth coming to see it at least ones in a life time. It’s amazing how smart they are. Cafeteria is on a pricey side but it’s expected like at any attraction in New York. There a gift shop with good choice of toys and souvenirs. We love the colorful fish and penguins of course too :)

  • 3/5 Danielle B. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a nice quick place to go to , but it doesn't have a lot of attractions. I recall two places where the sharks was and the spinless one both was a quick walk through not really amazing to me. Waited like 10 minutes to get into the spinless attraction just to be in there for 3 minutes. And it was lots of lots of people there no social distancing. Also note those face mask with the tiger print that they sell on the website are big my 2 and 4 year old barely could fit them and I couldn't fit the adult one.

    This place has been under renovation for quite some time now. There is a new shark exhibit which is really cool, and you have your regular fish exhibits and now a new "spineless" exhibit. However, there seems to be a lack of species. For the times that ive come I have seen the same fishes as the time before and the time before that one, and the last time I came was 3 years ago. Surely Im all for saving the fishes, but if we pay to come see something we dont see on an everyday basis then they should make it worth our while and money to make sure we dont see the same thing over and over again. My son loved it. Ill probably be back but really hope they change it up or at least practice a different choreography with the sea lions. Food is overly priced and ok tasting. $4 for a can of water? Surely you can bring your own. There are tables all over to eat lunch at and bathrooms are nicely scattered around the aquarium. Staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, hope to see some differences next time we go.

    Let me just start this off by saying that Nicholas is an amazing employee and was sooo helpful when I needed it. You can tell he really cares about the visitors of the New York Aquarium! I went on 08/30 and it was very very very packed (despite tickets being for specific time frames). In the heart of coney island, this is a beautiful wildlife conservation establishment so I don't understand why people come here expecting something different...it's not an amusement park, it's not a playground, and it's definitely not seaworld. Despite it's smaller size, there is so much to see & learn, & all the animals seem very happy & taken care of.

    I enjoyed it overall. There was good social distancing and safety procedures in place. It was smaller overall than I thought it would be. There were several stress that were closed due to the Pandemic. The Spineless and Shark exhibitions are great. The Aquatheater show is just okay. Once the pandemic is over, we'll go back to experience everything that was closed or limited.

  • 2/5 Olaf J. 3 years ago on Google
    Came on reopening day post covid19 this summer and it was a hot mess. Collectively we spent hours of actual waiting in line and minutes at the actual three main inside exhibits. The sea lion show was canceled after we got in but when we were leaving the show was back on but the massive line that quickly amassed for the show meant we would either not get in and would have also gone over our 3 hour parking limit in the Aquarium lot. This summer we also went to Mystic aquarium, Norwalk Maritime Aquarium, Long Island Riverhead Aquarium and also the Camden Aquarium last autumn and this New York Aquarium experience was the worst. It was also extremely crowded and there was nothing in place for crowd management during a deadly pandemic. Not that we felt in danger since everyone was wearing a mask and keeping distant as best as we could but it was way too crowded compared to other Aquariums with working crowd control plans. Growing up in Brooklyn I've always loved this place as a kid but as an adult living in the upstate NY suburbs my kids are robbed of a good experience coming here to only see more people waiting in lines than actual fish in the exhibits. Not worth it for the steep price of admission.

  • 5/5 A I. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice aquarium: 1. sea lions show, 2. sharks, stingrays, giant turtle, all types of fishes including small tank with Nemo and Dory, penguins, otters, jellyfish, octopus. 3. Two Toys store 4. Outside food with sitting area 5. Touch pool is closed for many years 6. Tickets are pricey, four people tickets - $99.80. One day per week - free admissions. It’s going to be overcrowded, come as early as you can. If you have little children and they like aquarium- just buy membership for $170 for 1 year.

    I haven't been back since they have reopened from hurricane Sandy. They have done a great job...nice shark exhibit, lots of diverse fish and ocean dwellers to check out. I love that it is right on the boardwalk so you can go to the beach after if you want! They have their own parking lot, but you are able to park on the street for free if the day/time is right. No food options, so pack a lunch- nice space under a tent to eat with picnic tables. Overall happy I went and will go back.

    Very small, barely any exhibits. We finished it in less than an hour and the parking was 40 dollars. Lots of things were closed. Do not recommend compared to other aquariums. Please do not visit this aquarium.

    Nice place to go with the family, unfortunately many of the hand sanitizer dispensers were empty, although the staff was cleaning constantly. It doesn't have too many exhibits there, but it has a gift shop. The sea lion show was very fun and the staff was overall very nice

  • 5/5 Isabella R. 3 years ago on Google
    There was so much to do it was so clean and sea lion show was amazing. But the food is not the best so if you want some good food plan a separate place. Thanks to the virus you do have to wait some lines for the entrance, shark exhibits, and spinless sea animals. But other than that it is really fun and people are taking precautions very seriously

    What more can an aquatic enthusiast demand? A walkthrough places aptly in the haven of sharks, hovering around and above you, an exotic collection of fish that never fail to amuse and entice you and yes, not to forget, a small scale sea-world kind of aquatic show featuring some enthusiastic dolphins and one really likable sea lion! This place certainly deserves a day’s visit, well, only if fish really excites you and keeps you merry along the tour route!

    The Aquarium is quite small, but is it an Urban Aquarium for kids. Pro: 1. It's very clean 2. Easy to access all the building 3. Easy to get to from train 4. The shark building is amazing. Con: 1. Parking is extremely expensive and don't even think about street parking. 2. No EV charging station

  • 5/5 Kae 3 years ago on Google
    My kids enjoyed it was their first aquarium experience. We saw sharks, sea horses, and a wide variety of fishes. Didn't stay for the seal show but a fun activity for your lil ones. Tickets were reasonable, parking was 18$.

  • 1/5 David J. 3 years ago on Google
    Most of it is closed and there are basically 2 exhibits open and a 15 show. The penguin, otter, other outdoor exhibits can't be seen as they are roped off, glass is tok high to see over, and the glass is so dirty you can't see into the tank. The aquarium used to be great but this place is not worth the money. Better aquatic experience at the Bronx zoo.

    After reading through many recent negative reviews, I decided to take my family to the aquarium to see for ourselves if it was true. Well, it’s true. Half the exhibits are closed. Huge bummer! However, the exhibits that are open are really cool and beautiful! The shark exhibit takes your breath away, really. I’m giving this aquarium a neutral review because the bad outweighed the food and vice versa. Will I be coming back? Absolutely.

    This is an amazing museum. You can spend the whole day here. The indoor rain forest is impressive. There are butterflies surrounding you and it's just like you're in a real rain forest. There're also many other sections. You can see different types of animals, like jelly fish, various types of butterflies. This is also a white crocodile. In the ocean section, you get to touch sea cucumbers. There's also a cafeteria. You're not supposed to bring outside food in, so you can get food there if you want to eat. The prices are okay, but it's very crowded. It's a good place for adults and kids.

    with all that is going on in the world there is some comfort finding places trying to focus on the work at hand. unfortunately there were a few display areas under construction and the entire facility was not in use but we enjoyed the time we had getting away from our daily routine. the kids loved looking at fish swimming in their deep sea environments. we had a good fun day here and would recommend that all families make a reservation and visit!! afterwards we were able to find our way up to the wooden boardwalk and enjoy the view.

    Located next to the beautiful boardwalk and very close to the Q line. The display is magnificent, you will definitely see some amazing views of fish. The exhibit explanations are not very elaborate. No food or drink available at this time unless you can do with readymade sandwiches from the gift shop. Currently the spineless hall is closed so significantly less things to see. Some of the interactive displays are either inaccessible or not functional. Feeding shows are weather dependent so try to avoid rainy days (although the indoor displays are great for wet weather). The nearby Coney island amusement park is currently closed.

    I hired Bill Goody recently to move my aquarium of large and particularly sensitive fish. His quote came first,it was specific and far more reasonable than other quotes I received. He showed up on the dot and without batting an eyelash set to work and pulled off a very stressful job with speed, efficiency and a calm I’ve never witnessed. (He also handled my stress beautifully which made the process easier). My fish thrived against the odds, my tank is crystal clear (he managed to clean in no time what I failed to do after many attempts - and this was not part of the package), I learned more about my fish and how to care for them than I’d learned in 10 years, and I am now no longer afraid to bring them with me wherever I go as long as he’s around. Bill Goody is a fish-whisperer, a true professional and a person of rare integrity and talent. Don’t bother looking further! Charlotte Gould NY, NY

  • 3/5 Travelogue P. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a huge area located in the heart od Karachi but very poorly managed. The govt. should take proper care of the zoo. Few years back I had visited the zoo & had many animals there. The condition of zoo itself was fair. Now many animals are missing, the condition in which the animals are kept is not upto the mark. Instead of animals there are more rides. People come to the zoo to see the animals not to take rides. Rides are there in the parks & there are many of them. Plz take care of these animals & try to increase the numbers instead of decreasing it. Zoo has becoming a dating point. Couples hiding in places which makes the visitors shamefull. Management should take notice of these issues otherwise if they cant run it properly then they should give it to a private organisation so that they could run properly.

  • 3/5 Chandio F. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a good place but lacks so many basic facilities. Animals are kept in unhygienic condition. The water of the pond where birds reside is dangerously contaminated and stinky. The main park is off which causes trouble for families which come with the sole purpose of entertainment. Information labelled at each cage is good and provides rudimentary knowledge to the visitors. There is no cleanliness and you can find easily find trash and garbage lingering all around. Washroom facility is improper and incomplete. This zoo park needs many reforms. But, final comment for this park is: something is better than nothing.

    Walking into the Zoo was a dusty path from a run down rusted gate. Parking is next to impossible. After seeing Zoos around the world this Zoo was very sad looking and empty. Barren is more the word. If you must visit take the mini toy train to cruise the Zoo. From the gate to the left most bird cages are empty. Few have animals then empty. Grass, greens, water in need of attention. By the quick time I was done I was covered in dust. This was a school trip to the Zoo for Grade 1 to 3. Not sure I would recommend it to anyone. Location of the Zoo is in the mid of a congested part of the city. I would rather feed my birds and look out of the patio then ever go there again.

    Overall it's nice. However it's a rather small aquarium and not worth the price right now. When I went the Spineless exhibit was closed. All the outdoor exhibits were closed: so no penguins or seals or otters. There were no shows or feedings. And the beluga tank that had a whale the last time I visited was empty. The exhibits that were open were really cool though. But you can go through the whole thing in like 15 minutes. I was kind of disappointed. I used to come here when I was a kid. I remember it being a lot better then. Perhaps during the summer and during a normal years it's better. And I know they've been working to redo the aquarium since Hurricane Sandy. Maybe it'll be worth it when they're finished construction and when the world is a bit more normal.

    Great place for Salt water fishs.

  • 5/5 Elliot W. 3 years ago on Google
    They were super helpful and had great fish. All the fish were extremely health, and had very clean tanks. I would would highly recommend people in the area to go here rather than a chain store (Petsmart/ Petco). Pete's has higher quality of fish

  • 5/5 Henry H. 4 years ago on Google
    Pete's is great place to shop for tropical fish and corals. He has a vast selection of fish to choose . We have purchased over a dozen happy healthy fish. A regal angel, powder brown tang, powder blue tang, yellow tang, golden head goby, two stripe rabbit, hipo tang, red coris wrasse and various soft corals. I would recommend his store to anybody.

  • 5/5 Martha M. 3 years ago on Google
    Both fresh and salt water varieties of fish in tanks for viewing. A special favorite of my grand son's, he's 5.

    Good place for saltwater fish the lady there is super nice and knowledgeable

  • 2/5 Stacy 4 years ago on Google
    Really good selection, stopped in twice. Second visit, we came across a very cool looking shark pup and asked what price it was and was told $80 by the lady. Pretty nice, but needed to think for 20 minutes or so to make sure we could commit to owning a creature that might live 10+ years, so we left to discuss it. Came back in the shop ready to purchase and was told the same animal was $150 now instead! No thank you, unfortunately their survival rate at that size isn't too great especially because it was not eating yet, was willing to spend the 90 to take the chance but changing the price like that is not very good business tactics. Disappointed and unfortunately might not be back :(

  • 5/5 Katie J. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered this beautiful fire shrimp from Pete's. I live in upstate NY where it is very cold in the winter, and Pete packed him very securely, also taking care in adding multiple heat packs. He is beautiful, zero health issues, and has a fantastic personality. I will definitely be ordering from Pete's again, and I highly recommend them for shipping live aquatic animals.

  • 1/5 Matt C. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly could not recommend. Like 90% of the fresh water tanks didn’t have lights on them so you can barely see what little fish they had. The prices and verity was not good at all. I wasn’t that impressed by the salt water either.

  • 5/5 Nessa 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 mike R. 3 years ago on Google
    Pete was extremely helpful. And went well above and beyond helping me get what I needed. He never gave up until he found a fish that I needed. Prices were better than I could find anywhere else. After quarantine Fish they’re doing extremely well. Thanks again for all your hard work and I will be coming back.

  • 2/5 Pamela C. 4 years ago on Google
    Drove up here for about 40 minutes and arrived at 7pm, only to find that the store was closed and a lady rudely said she closed at 7. (Door sign still said open) Google (and the store door) said that on Saturdays, the store closes at 8pm, so my trip was unfortunately wasted. It does look like a great store with a huge selection of fish, but not having updated times isn’t a good business practice. Hopefully next time if I can make the trip, I can know when the store is actually open. Please update store times to what is currently correct so this doesn’t happen to other people. This happened Saturday, August 24th.

  • 3/5 ghost 4 years ago on Google
    There was a nice selection of saltwater fish and a more smaller section of freshwater. Since my family has a freshwater tank we decided to stop by. Buying freshwater fish from here was a terrible choice since they all got sick and died within a month. You'll find 20 fish in measly small tanks and it looks very stressful for them. Not coming here again.

    Pete is a very knowledgeable man and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy!

His fish are all very healthy and I have never lost one. Not to mention his prices are very fair . Highly recommended A++

  • 5/5 DBeck305 3 years ago on Google
    I love this local gem! They are constantly adding new exhibits and experiences. I personally was taken away by the Otter and Shark Feed encounters. Those baby bull sharks put on a great show! Feeding the zebra shark was definitely a highlight. The otters are so cute and make you want to cuddle them all day! The new octopus exhibit is amazing. You can see it no matter where you stand. We had our wedding there and the events department is highly skilled in what they do. It made our day more special than we ever imagined. I give them 10 fins! 🐙🦈🦦🦫

  • 4/5 Maria P. 3 years ago on Google
    I love the Aquarium, they have a nice set up and lots of fish and stuff to look at, like you'd hope. I love the shark tunnel and the huge reef area. My daughter could spend hours looking at the reef. I'm docking it a star because though they require masks, there isn't much enforcement of it nor social distancing. A whole group of people came in about an hour after opening and the second they were in they all removed their masks - I'm talking multiple adults and kids, it seemed to be a group of at least 6 families. No one we noticed enforced the continued use of masks, nor would the group put them on when I asked. So we left early. But other than that - and if not for the crazy covid times we live in - this would be a 5/5 because I love taking my daughter here, and looking at the fish. With our membership my parents can come too so it turns into a family outing with the grandparents. It's nice.

  • 5/5 Christy R. 3 years ago on Google
    My whole family loved it here!! Favorite attractions were the Eel that you could hear react to your presence, the beaver and other's playing and the shark tunnel! We saw a variety of fish, frogs and etc that we had never seen or heard of. Definitely visiting again!!!

  • 5/5 Lyn M. 3 years ago on Google
    price is a little expensive for how small the aquarium actually is, but there’s tons of new things there. you can buy carrot shavings to feed to turtles and pet stingrays as well. the shark tank is super scary and cool, but it gets loud in there because no one pays attention to the sign that clearly says “please stay quiet in the shark tunnel”. definitely a great place to waste an afternoon, especially with little kids, as there is also a small area you can pet shrimps and those weird fossil-fish things. there is also a huge tank with tons of different fish/lizards where here is a crawl space they can get in the middle of the tank to look around.

  • 5/5 Alexandria B. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful aquarium! It was so beautiful and watching the creatures swim was so peaceful and cool. Loved the various gently touch the animals exhibits. Many exhibits were designed to be immersive like the shark tank (tunnel walk through where sharks swim all around and over you). Got to see many creatures feeding. We easily spend several hours there.

  • 4/5 Colleen D. 3 years ago on Google
    The aquarium is very nice and clean! The kids love the touch ponds and feeding some of the animals. For the cost to get in, I thought there would be more exhibits. I've been to several aquariums, and the interaction experiences and admission are more expensive at this one compared to others. However there are no other aquatic exhibits nearby. For this reason, we are willing to spend the money for the memories

  • 5/5 Danielle A. 3 years ago on Google
    It was a wonderful experience with my children. Not busy so we were not crowded and had plenty of time to play around with the hands on exhibits. Loved the stingrays.

  • 5/5 Johnathon S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great for me and my kids. They loved the shark tunnel. Petting and feeding the stingrays, sharks, and turtles. Looking at the octopus. And also they have a virtual reality thing by the shark tunnel that was pretty cool.

  • 3/5 Tara K. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the smallest aquarium I think I have ever seen. Some of the exhibits are so small it makes me feel bad for the animals. If you live in Oklahoma and have never been to an aquarium it probably seems like a nice one as the facility itself is clean and there are some interactive exhibits. The local wildlife is probably the most interesting part.

    Loved the Jenks museum. You don't have to spend any extra money to enjoy this place. The admission price covers almost everything. There are two things yiu cna pay to do. Feed animals for 5.00 a person, and vr documentaries for 7.00 a person. Feeding the animals is kinda fun, but it's not the up close and personal experience you are going to probably want. The vr was incredible! We ended up taking 3 different rides we had so much fun! If I had to guess I would say they lasted maybe 5 minutes a peice or so. All staff was nice and friendly, the building and restrooms were clean as well. Will definately be going back again!

    I toured the entire place in 2 hrs. It's a nice place and the Amazon rainforest is pretty cool even though I was freaking out with the butterflies flying around everywhere. The planetarium is awesome and I like that there's a ton of stuff to look at. I think it was close to $40 to get in which is pretty average for a museum.

  • 4/5 Casey D. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful fun and educational family experience. Safety throughout the facility is always enforced. Last we went was before all the renovations. The new exhibits were captivating. The aquarium itself is smaller than other East Coast but the layout and shows were very entertaining especially for younger kids. 4D theatre was fun too, but for us the best part was watching the keepers care for the animals with so much love and respect. Parking was quite pricy but not awful. Bonus is walking on the Coney Island boardwalk afterwards.

  • 4/5 Philip R. 2 years ago on Google
    My son and I spent the afternoon here and had a great time. Everything was clean and staff was friendly.

    Perfect date idea!! Some areas are still sectioned off due to covid. Suggest buying your food somewhere else. We ate at the bar at the top of the shark exhibit, the chicken in my Caesar salad tasted fishy. The piña colada was yummy but overpriced of course. The sea lion show was so cute!! Walked the boardwalk afterwards.

  • 3/5 david s. 2 years ago on Google
    Two exhibits worth the time, others neglected. The sharks and spineless exhibits are well worth the trip. If eating there eat on top of the shark exhibit, a long ramp leads you there. That said I wouldn't eat there and stroll on the boardwalk for Nathan's instead. Hopefully soon they will allow access to the underwater portion that was flooded out during huricane sandy. It would get another star when that happens.

    On the small side but well maintained. COVID policies enforced very well. Sometimes exhibits are closed for maintenance, and when it’s the big ones it stinks because it’s one less thing to see there. Overall would recommend. Get the zoo & aquarium yearly membership - totally worth it!

  • 4/5 Jose O. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s small. That’s the first thing. So it’s not an all day thing however it’s still fun and if you go on a day that’s not so busy you can really spend a lot of time looking at everything. I can see how on crowded days, it would take longer to get thru it all but I was done in a good hour and half. I enjoyed it. And while your there take the time to go down to the beach and enjoy Coney Island.

    Great! I enjoyed my time there with family and friends. Wonderful Sea life and the sea lion and seal show was fantastic. Wheelchair Accessible to get in the building but what they call an accessible bathrooms are not. The stall was too small for me to turn around in my wheelchair. The other accessible toilet was broken. Therefore the bathrooms are not really wheelchair accessible. My friends had to help me in and out of the stall.

    The New York Aquarium is a very nice place to visit. The exhibits are informative and eye-catching. Make sure to see the sea lion show at the aqua theater. There are live feedings to watch as well. The trainers are very professional and will answer questions when asked. An interactive play area for the kids is vibrant and fun. The tunnel in the shark exhibit is amazing. Well worth the trip.

    One of our all time favorite places to visit in NYC! It may be on the smaller side, but it packs a lot of fun and hands on activities for kids, wildlife aficionados and aquatic fans. Great location by the beach, in the heart of Coney Island.

    The exhibits were beautiful and informative. It was not too crowded at the time of my visit. And it's walking distance away from Coney Island, the beach and several restaurants, so it's easy to make a great outing day for the entire family.

    This place is AMAZING. I heard they had revamped it so I had to check it out and boy it did not disappoint. So many displays packed into a small space. I suggest you go during fall when it’s not too hot to catch the seals and sea lions show. The caretakers are very good handlers and obviously care a lot about the animals.

    I won't compare this Aquarium to another place, and I know they had been renovated for many times and took years to improve the place. Kids love it anyway and that is the most important thing I care about. Another aquarium, you need to drive there but New York Aquarium, you can just go easy taking a subway or bus and it is right here in Cloney Island!

    Nice aquarium for kids. It has fun activities for kids like a sea lion show, touch tank, and a shark exhibit. Tickets are kinda pricey and so is parking.

    We loved it. Came here with my 3 month old baby girl, husband and my in laws. Had a great time even though it was hot. But we enjoyed it. From the fishes to the 5pm seal live show. Totally worth $30ish per person. Baby girl went in for free. It’s easier to have a carrier then a stroller for sure since you have to park your stroller in most places inside the aquarium. The bathroom was also very clean. Also beware no food and drinks allowed. But overall I had a great time and it’s better then how it used to be. 🤍 the eugenio family approved.

    It was pretty mid honestly. I would not say it's worth a $30 dollar ticket. Even if you're bored, it's just not the place to be. It wasn't dirty and staff weren't rude, but it was pretty boring. Some stuff was fun to see like the sharks, and they did have one cute activity. But overall there were hardly any visitors, the place was pretty bare, and not much to see or do besides sharks and seal really. Fun to go once, not again. No real food/dining options eat before you go! Good place for kids. I'd reccomend checking out the board walk or Coney Island just down the block.

    This venue is great, I was expecting corals to be more colorful as we can see in the hobby but it had a natural look. Staff aren't present much to inform the crowd on what is in front of them. The seal show is great and the trainer does an amazing job. PURCHASE YOUR TICKET ONLINE IT'S CHEAPER AND NO WAIT.

    It was very disappointing, no dolphins, etc. I used to take my son years ago & it was so nice. The only nice part was the play area for young kids. Unfortunately my niece is too old for it.

    This is a must visit in terms of enjoying the current selection and historical significance. I also happened to be here on a rainy day n had a cup of coffee with rain water added. Amazing experience

    The entire aquarium can be viewed in about two hours, including the time to watch the seal show~ Shark tunnel is my favorite photo spot! Cool place!!

    Me and my friends went here for a birthday party and we loved the exhibits. There is also a show with the Sea Lions and Seals it is very fun and you learn about the animals while watching them perform tricks. I personally love the shark exhibit as it has many informational aspects and the tunnel in which the tank of animals is around you (as well as above you, great for photos). The gift shop is cool as it has many great things for kids like stuffed animals and jewelry. Overall a great experience (also just a tip buy your tickets beforehand. It makes it easier so you don't have to wait).
