    Great place to bring your children! They also have a play room at the end where they will spend some time playing around. Simple, not overcrowded (we went on a Saturday). Enjoyed every moment of it.

    Haven't been to the NY Aquarium in years. Great place to visit. Sea lions were awesome! Sharks and Spineless exhibits were out of this world. Get there early if you want parking.

    Wonderfully magical says I. Can be enjoyed by all ages. You are surrounded by tropical fish of all shapes and sizes as well as black tip reef sharks amongst several others including a gorgeous albino thresher shark! Don't hesitate. Go check this out immediately

    The aquarium was super cool, but smaller than expected. I really loved the spineless exhibit...! There were a lot of jellyfish, and one of those underwater tubes with sharks. There's a huge area with manta rays, too. The otter exhibit was being cleaned when we went, but they have sea otters too.

    A great add in to the aquarium. Not only do you get to see a good amount of sharks but you also learn a lot which is always a plus. They have done a great job here.

    Every aquarium is rich, interesting and spectacular for children. This one is no different. I really enjoyed the visit. There are few sharks but it doesn't matter. Those who show up make the party.

    Its ok....kind of small but thats what you get in nyc. Not all exhibits are open together at any given time. Nothing hands on to experience here. Just glass and water and fish.

    We took our daughter there for her 11th birthday with our nieces and one of our granddaughters. That's where she wants to go. They really enjoy there self looking at all the fish's, sharks, jellyfish, lobsters, and so much more.

    Beautiful place...popular activity for school's so be prepared to hear kids chatter and laughter, sprinkled with teachers remarks if you're trying to make videos..

    Pit stop to see some sharks on the way to sesame place. Did not dissapoint.

  • 1/5 Joseph M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not much to see or do. really poor seal show, not much action. Even the 4d show was really like 2d. I've been to 4d shows in Disney. Not worth the $30.

  • 5/5 Andrii K. 8 months ago on Google
    Great experience for those who love all about underwater. PS don't attend the Aquarium on the weekend. That's a mess

    Sharks and the entire NY Aquarium is a wonderful place to visit for all ages. Plenty to see and experience. The shark tank's are amazing, and the invertebrates exhibit is fascinating.

    Amazing area but you can't take your stroller in which makes it a bit hectic with little ones

  • 5/5 Gerardo H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a day trip , take your children’s to learn and see Ocean treasures in in the city , NYC Coney Island is a great get away for the family, if you go during the Sumer days , prepare for the beach next door or Luna park this nyc attractions are next to each other’s so u can have a full day activities with your family, drive or public transportation imagine that !!! Great for everyone!!!

    Lovely exhibit of marine life, Air conditioning in good order on a 95 degree day. Outdoors, seals were out. Squid, crab,shark and sting ray, such a beautiful variety! Staff welcoming, and grounds kept in order. Stroller parking outside. Rooftop Cafe a nice touch!

    The sharks exhibit has very modern display pieces that are incredibly engaging for visitors of all ages. Thoroughly impressed with the changes that have been made since hurricane sandy.
