    I’ve been to quite a few aquariums across the country. It was adorable how they had little areas for the kids to stick their heads up in the domes and look around at the fish. The whole place was small, and really not a lot of space utilized. Definitely not as much interactive areas as they have in many other aquarium experiences elsewhere. If you have a package, worth checking out. If you’re paying admission at $35 a head, maybe save it for a souvenir at Disney.

    I wish it was a little bit bigger and a space that you could walk around rather than just in walk-through. I guess when you get to the end you could turn around but people are coming from the other direction. It would be nice if you could just walk around freely and go back and look at the exhibits. All in all it was enjoyable. Also you have to pay for your photos at the end but if you scan the QR code on the ticket that they give you you can download them on your phone for free.

    This was the best experience ever I went with my daughter and this was our first time to a Aquarium it was amazing. My daughter had a great time at all the stamp stations. Just ask the attendant about it and they will give you a pamphlet to go around to the stations. She got them all and got a reward. We loved seeing the fish, the octopus, the sharks, and pretty much everything. I highly recommend you will not be disappointed

    We purchased our tickets months ago and bought the combo ticket with Madame Tussauds. The aquarium was a perfect size took us about an hour to go through, taking our time. Brandon was very knowledgeable and helpful telling us about the axolotl breeding program and telling us about the large sea turtle TED. We also opted for the behind-the-scenes tour again (like we did in Charlotte). We booked the 12:30 time which was perfect because it was feeding time. Very cool getting to see the male puffer fish and sea turtle hit their marks and be fed. Lindsey was our tour guide for that, and she was very knowledgeable as well answering any questions we might have. I really enjoyed this aquarium. It was a little bigger than the Charlotte one, with different exhibits. The behind-the-scenes tour was much better too, only because we got to see the feeding, which was super cool! Our kids also got to feed some fish as well. Overall great experience, would highly recommend!!

    This aquarium is pretty cool. It's located in Icon Park. It costs about $25 or so to enter. It's a little on the small side, but has a decent amount of animals in it and cool exhibits you can walk through and see. They have a bunch of different fish and animals inside. They have little iPads next to a lot of the exhibits that you can scroll through and read about the different species that are in that specific tank. At the end they have a small tank with different sea life in it that you can touch. I'd recommend this for families with kids and anyone that hasn't done it before that would be interested in it.

    We visited this aquarium for the first time last Friday and absolutely loved our experience! We were the very first ones in of the day, and it made a world of difference. We had plenty of time to explore the aquarium and see everything at our pace with no other guests being an issue the entire time. The staff was very helpful in making sure we saw everything, including the baby seahorses and the sea turtles, Ted and Chely. We also did the thirty-minute behind the scenes tour, which was totally worth it! I recommend this to anyone with older children, teens, or as adults. Our tour guide, Parker, was great! The tour is only $10 extra per person. And we also opted for the photo package book. Beautifully done and packed with marine info. It made for the perfect souvenir for our vacation. They take a couple of photos of your family at the start of the aquarium and have it made for you by the end of your visit at the gift shop with the option to purchase. You do get to see it ahead of time and they do not pressure you into buying it if you don’t want it. I believe it cost around $43, along with a code for digital downloads as well. Be sure to buy your tickets directly on the Sea Life Orlando website ahead of time for the best deals! We combined the aquarium with the wax museum and were very satisfied with how we spent our time at ICON Park. Thanks for the great day!!

    The adventure awaits in the deep blue sea. Look at many unusual and unique aquatic life. As you enjoy yourself. A great place to get kids interested in the world around them. Play games along the way. Wonderful photo opportunities all while learning a little about the ocean environment. Even get the chance to interact with marine life hands on.

    We needed to do something inside to get out of the hotel, and we love aquariums. It's a very cute setup. The kids really liked the areas they could go in to get a 360 feel. There was a good amount in there. It's connected to a shopping area, so it's not a stand-alone aquarium where those are bigger. We were very happy, though. It took us about a hour to walk through. Thank you for having a military discoint.

    Nice little aquarium. Been to a lot in different countries. Only negative is it was a bit small and it would be nice to see bigger sharks. Other then that the youngest enjoyed the holes to go inside the aquariums.

    We visited during our recent vacation, the aquarium itself is pretty small and there seemed to be too many people in it became pretty crowded quite quickly. We attended in the AM to try avoid crowds. Staff where friendly, place was clean and easy accessibil. Nice mix of different sea creatures to learn about on the was around.

    We visited Sea Life Aquarium while visiting the Orlando area. It's a nice little aquarium with many fun views of sea life. I believe that the aquarium is especially designed for young children. Not only were there three summer camp groups we saw during our visit, but many families as well with young ones. And there are lots of displays and tanks in which a small child is invited to crawl under and pop up into a glass enclosure that puts the child in the middle of the aquarium action. It's perfect for a five-year-old! Several of the small tanks and views of larger exhibits are also at child level. So, I highly recommend this place for families with small children. They will love it! I had never been to an aquarium quite like this one, however, in which there is a linear route to take through the building from one exhibit to another. I've only experienced aquariums in which exhibits are in different rooms or areas that one can visit and revisit again and again during a visit. Although there are no signs discouraging going "against the flow," it's obviously not the way the place is intended to be experienced. Another interesting thing about this aquarium is its lack of signage. I'm used to aquariums in which I stand, read, and learn as well as view the various sea creatures. There is education offered at Sea Life, but in the form of QR codes that can be scanned and read from your phone. Not a terrible idea, except that I didn't see anyone actually doing it. Plus, if the true demographic is families with young children, young children don't carry phones. (Or at least, they shouldn't!) If properly done, however, I can imagine a parent scanning the QR code and spending time talking about the animals with his or her children. That would be nice. I just didn't see it happening. However, I delighted in watching the kids having fun, excitedly running from one exhibit to another and having a great time. It's their kind of place. But there were lots of them, so if you don't care to be around excited children, you might find that this aquarium tests your patience. As for me, I enjoyed it. Depending on your speed (and whether or not you scan the QR codes), I would allow an hour or two to enjoy the aquarium.

    Cute little place other than Disney to spend with your children. You learn about animals and you can touch coral at the end. If you pay an extra $10 you can go to the back and feed the fish at the end. The feeding part was cool but they gave a lot of info. I think that part could’ve been more hands-on. It took about one hour to get through the whole thing and another hour to get through the back end view. Parking is free. You can see seahorses, clown fish, turtles, stingrays, sharks, and eels.

    Not a bad aquarium to visit if you are looking to waste some time and money. However, there are plenty others out there for the same or close to the price that are nicer and more interactive. It was clean and everyone seemed nice, it was okay overall.

    Obviously not as large as Sea World down the street but I took my dad for a visit and it was really nice. Really loved that it was indoors because it was hot outside, not a long walk to the parking either. We spent a couple of hours walking around and it was enjoyable. We did the behind the scenes tour which was interesting but they said they had to cut some parts out due to work they were doing in those areas. I would probably go again.

    Great aquarium, with very beautiful tanks, fish and staff. Loved all we learned and the fish. Recommend doing the trivia sheet. Highly recommend. It was a lot of fun.

    I really enjoyed this aquarium, the staff was really friendly and even helped my husband and I navigate around several classes of children! You're able to go thru more than one time which is a plus. If you want the photo the take of you be prepared to pay $$$$. Id say this was about 40 min for two adults and we went around two times

    My family and i had a great time here. It was our respite on a cold and rainy Saturday. It was busy but people flowed smoothly thru the different displays. We loved the axolotl display as well as the sea turtle with his floating shell.

  • 5/5 Drea 4 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    I went there during my vacation with my boyfriend. I will not lie, it was super fun and educational. The sea animals actually looked happy and healthy, and not miserable for a change. We participated in the behind the scenes tour and i must say that if you enjoy learning about the sea and all the procedures/protocols of taking care of the animals, then you should definitely book it (it’s cheap as well! Only $10 per person). Bonus points is that you get to feed the fish! The guide was wonderful as well. With the tour and taking our time to see and take pictures, we took 3 hours. Overall, i really recommend this place, you wont regret it.

    Cool behind the scenes tour for only $10 extra per person. Lasted a little over 30 minutes and was able to feed the fish. Cool to see a few areas you normally wouldn’t see. Spent about 2 hours taking our time walking through and reading the exhibits. Touch pool is smaller than expected given the size of the aquarium but other than that it was great. Our tickets came with “free” photo package they were a little blurry so definitely wouldn’t have spent the extra $30 on them if they hadn’t been part of the ticket.

    We had an awesome afternoon here. The aquarium was great, even though it’s small. The only problem came when at the end we go to the gift shop, and we take the photo that they took of me and my girlfriend at the beginning. They didn’t have any signs of “please don’t take pictures of the photos” like other thematic parks/attractions do, so we took both of the photos and we were like “these are funny” so we were going to take a picture of it, and the employee working on the register (this happened today, 12/26/20 at around 4:10pm) came to us and said “you guys can’t take a picture of the photos, that’s stealing, delete it now” in front of about 3 other families. I apologized, and on my way out I clarified “I didn’t see any signs of don’t take pictures, that’s why I thought we could do it” and she repeated “what you guys did is considered stealing, bye have a nice day”. She literally called us thieves in front of 3 other families, and it wasn’t like we walked out of the place without paying for the physical photo, not even a bad quality digital picture of it because we never got a chance to take a picture and if we would have done it, I would have deleted it. I don’t know who told this girl that calling people thieves is appropriate. I have worked in retail, and even if people is stealing something, you are NEVER supposed to call them thieves just because you think you can. We talked to a general manager, Kyle, who addressed our claim and understood why we were upset about the experience and said he was going to talk to upper management to address the issue. I am doing this review, however, to make sure that my claim gets addressed and other people doesn’t get treated the way we did. My stars will be updated once someone addresses my claim. Besides the bad costumer service of the girl up front, great experience.

    This place surpassed my expectations. If you're looking to do something indoors, this won't disappoint. All the kids I saw were having a great time. There was a good variety of animals, lots of good displays, the water was very clear, the place smelled clean (no fishy smells), acrylic wasn't all scratched up, and the animals all looked very healthy. There was some brown algae growing on rocks and fake coral, but overall the exhibits were well maintained. For photographers, the very low level of lighting (presumably for controlling algae and electric bill) is quite a challenge. Flash not allowed. The big viewing windows near the end are great during feeding time. We enjoyed the Behind The Scenes tour of the equipment and various departments as well as the above-the-main-tank views and getting to feed some tropical fish.

    Great experience. Beautiful views at each cubicle where sea life is on display in the beautiful tanks. Got to see an eel all doubled over in a small pot, only to understand that it seeks the confines of a small area. Beautiful tanks with sea horses. My favourite in the Aquarium was the tunnel you walk under and get to feel as if you in the tank with all the sea life. Beautiful day out. Loved all the displays.

    This was an awesome little day trip. It takes about an hour for 2 adults to walk through and dodge strollers. The behind the scenes tour is well worth the $10 per person additional fee to learn more about how the aquarium runs.

    A great aquarium with all sorts of fish to admire. Not too long but certainly not too short. That together with the given information you can get for each fish you see makes up for a great aquarium. You'll have to look for yourself if it's going to be worth the price, but if you've never been to an aquarium, I would definitely recommend you going here.

    We really enjoyed our time at the Aquarium. Essy to walk through and very educational. My whole family especially enjoyed the 360 deg walk through area. Good combonations of sharks, stingrays and different types of fish species. We took our time really and was able to gwt through it in about an hour or so. Definitely would go again if in the area.

    On our last visit to Orlando Florida we managed to get the ICON SEA LIFE free with our other tickets. It is a great experience for the whole family and there are so many activities for little ones. . Around the ICON centre there are a large variety of shops, restaurants and activities. Inside the ICON centre there is a food court with many different options to choose from. There is also the 3 main attractions, The Wheel, Sea Life and Madame Tussauds. Each of these can be paid for individually inside the ICON building, but I feel they are a little expensive to buy this way. When we entered we were able to take part in an event to collect stamps whilst walking around the park, this is a great activity for children and will teach them about the fish. There is also a reward for collecting all the stamps. There is a large variety of fish to see and plenty of things to interact with. We visited in October and it was mostly empty so we were able to take our time walking around and taking photos. During our walk around there was a staff member that stopped us and took a few photos that could be turned into a keepsake book at the end. At the end of the experience there is a gift shop that has a large selection of animal relater merchandise, but I also feel some of this is over priced. Overall I feel this was a lovely day out and I would be happy to visit again when I next travel to America.

    We loved the place so much!! It's a great place for not only kids but also adults to learn bout all the sea lives <3 My most favorite was the stingrays, it was like they were putting on a show for us. There were baby sharks, two huge turtles, one was rescued. Also the sea horses were so cute and playful. We got the package of Madame Tussauds+ Sea Life, its a great deal and worth the money. U can also pet some of the sea creatures, how cool is that !!!

    This place was pretty nice, a little pricey for an aquarium though. It was around 28$ each. They ask you if you want a photo taken buy one of their employees when you first go in. Even if you say no, they charge you 2$ per person. I had several adults in my party so look out for that. They had a beautiful array of sealife. One of my favorite was this extremely large sea turtle, he was at least a few hundred pounds. They have different displays some you can go up under, or stand behind and get different views or pictures. They have a large interactive shark screen for all ages. The staff was pretty friendly. Only thing I was a little weary about was the lack of masks. Some people felt they were optional even though there were signs everywhere stating otherwise. I'm not sure if the employees didn't care or didn't see, but I would of liked for someone to tell these people to put their masks on. Also there was a family near the ticket counter that only spoke Spanish, they were having a hard time getting in because of the language barrier. Considering the location I felt as though they should of been able to accommodate this family better. Overall it was a nice experience.

    I read a lot of bad reviews and was very hesitant to go. When I arrived however if was very cool to walk through the several tanks and watch the sealife. Throughout you can see several beautiful creatures as well as some interestingly strange ones. It is a very fun experience and the location of icon park makes it wonderful to spend the day or even better the evening.

    Always has what’s needed for sanitizing. Staff is always super helpful and friendly. So many choices to pick from with group classes but also so much equipment you don’t usually have to be elbow to elbow with other patrons. The staff is always cleaning and making sure things are tidy. This is all before and during Covid. Great gym

    I have been working out here for several years. The training staff is all from UCF, so they are very knowledgeable and can help you loose weight fast. The establishment is always kept clean, and they have wipes a spray cleaners everywhere so you can clean the machines when you are done. Open 24 hours, this is the gym to go to if you need one.

    Sealife Aquarium was a nice little break away from the usual Orlando tourist attractions. We’re a homeschooling family, so we enjoy learning about all our sea life creatures. This aquarium is beautiful, clean and well maintained. They did have a few of the bubble areas to climb through closed off due to covid, which didn’t make much sense to me considering the little tunnel and other similar areas were open. Either way, my boys (ages 3,6 & 7) had fun. The touch pool was probably my favorite part. 😊

    Great place for some family fun the fish are beautiful the sea turtle is very big the glass floor in the tunnel is a little bit scary it makes cracking noises as u walk across the ticket prices are average but if u get the combo ticket you get the best deal it's like paying 10 dollars for the wax museum plus saving 30 dollars on additional pictures plus getting a free picture automatically

    This is our second visit to Sea Life Orlando! My wife and I both agree that this is one of our favorite places to come visit in Orlando, Florida. What beautiful displays throughout.

    The aquarium was affordable via the City Pass. The actual cost is a bit high, in my opinion. If you have kids I think this aquarium is amazing, they have alot of information and interactions. There's a touch area, tons of ways to "enter" the attractions, and a walk thru tunnel. For photos and Instagram this is definitely a great photo op aquarium. Overall the adults were entertained but the kids by far had the best time.

    Little place, but full of exhibits. Can tour it within the hour. Appears to be Well taken care of. Mesmerizing sea creatures. We purchased our tickets online ahead of time & we got the bundle, it's a better deal than to purchase the tickets separately. Not to crowded and we enjoyed our visit.

    Amazing aquarium! Better than I'd hoped. Very unique with great custom aquarium features that make it so much fun. It looked like it would be really busy from the line to get in but the inside was well designed and there was plenty of space to move about and enjoy the different tanks. Very clean. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

    Sea Life is a "chain" aquarium with aquariums all over the world. At this location you HAVE to buy tickets on line and can not just walk up and buy tickets. What was very disappointing, was that there were coupons in the Orlando magazine specifically for this aqaurium that expired at the end of July and they would not honor them. The aquarium is well maintained and is in Icon Park so other attractions near by. Parking is free which is a plus and it's a covered garage. The line to get in did go out the front door and we had to wait in the hot sun for a bit but that was expected as it's a weekend. It was a very busy day but did not feel too crowded walking around. The 360 tunnel was neat, but small and nothing special in that tank swimming overhead. There is a small touch tank at the end of the aquarium right before it ends at the gift shop. There is a behind the scenes tour for only $10 that looked really neat but we did not have time to do it. Overall it's a good aquarium, very well maintained, and worth a visit. I would do a package deal and add the other attractions and save some money.

    My daughter purchased tickets for us for our trip for this day. The pictures and hype on the website make it seem like it is so much more. Don't get me wrong, this is probably a great place for kids and small children. It is not a thing for adults to enjoy tbh. When we entered NO picture was taken, even though the package we purchased included one. Not one employee spoke up or asked us anything even though there were two standing there chatting. We did attend the virtual reality show side hustle, which was good and educational, but had to ask where to wait to enter. The further we got into the exhibit, the less sea life you see, and the tunnel is not anything like the pictures on the website, so don't get your expectations so high. Upon getting ready to leave, we had no pictures taken, so we were directed back to the entrance. By this time, the line was about 30 or 40 deep. We asked about being let back in for our photos, but we were told we would have to wait in line with everyone else. No thanks! So for the $40 per person this did cost, it was totally not worth it. Just saying another tourist trap at icon park/orlando.

    Definitely on the smaller side of aquariums, but a great place to visit when it’s raining and all activities outside are closed. Giving 3 stars due to you having to wait in one long line, even when you have already purchased tickets before arrival. Went in and out within an hour, so not a very big aquarium. They do have a “touch zone” where you can feel some sea life which is awesome for kids. Just wish there was more offered. Was quite warm inside, but that may have been due to the abundance of people in a small area.

    We visited on a weekday, it wasn't busy at all. No lines and we were able to explore every room without a time limit. Great tanks, clean and with a toddler, we were in and out in about 45 min. She wasn't interested in touching the starfish or listening to the presentations. We did the stamps, which she had fun finding throughout.

    We enjoyed the family time here and were happy to be more involved with the animals and education of sea life! We were more than impressed and entertained to be involved here with everything. I did feel that the Mermaid experience in the water was a bit disorganized, it would've been nice to have her swim more around in the water for everyone to see her (tiny kids in the back corner) and more organization with the amount of people in the small areas. Meeting the Mermaid was awesome! She was very kind, stayed in character, was patient. We recommend this place to everyone visiting the area! We decided to come here to still be involved with the area without having to walk so much, like the other amusement parks. It was a nice relaxing and educational day!

    This has to be one of my favorite stops at the ICON Park. The aquarium is well kept, clean, and the sea life is wonderful to see. If you have an extra 30 minutes or so, I highly recommend the behind the scenes tour. It was definitely worth the extra $10.

  • 2/5 Jenna G. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely not worth $35 per person. It's cool but now $35 per person cool. The coolest sea life there were 3 or 4 stingrays and 4 or 5 small sharks. There was also a spot where you could touch starfish. You could definitely find another zoo or aquarium with the same marine life for cheaper.

    We had an awesome afternoon here. The aquarium was great, even though it’s small. The only problem came when at the end we go to the gift shop, and we take the photo that they took of me and my boyfriend at the beginning. They didn’t have any signs of “please don’t take pictures of the photos” like other thematic parks/attractions do, so we took both of the photos and we were like “these are funny” so we were going to take a picture of it, and the employee working on the register (this happened today, 12/26/20 at around 4:10pm) came to us and said “you guys can’t take a picture of the photos, that’s stealing, delete it now” in front of about 3 other families. I apologized, and on my way out I clarified “I didn’t see any signs of don’t take pictures, that’s why I thought we could do it” and she repeated “what you guys did is considered stealing, bye have a nice day”. She literally called us thieves in front of 3 other families, and it wasn’t like we walked out of the place without paying for the physical photo, not even a bad quality digital picture of it because we never got a chance to take a picture and if we would have done it, I would have deleted it. I don’t know who told this girl that calling people thieves is appropriate. I have worked in retail, and even if people is stealing something, you are NEVER supposed to call them thieves just because you think you can. We talked to a general manager, Kyle, who addressed our claim and understood why we were upset about the experience and said he was going to talk to upper management to address the issue. I am doing this review, however, to make sure that my claim gets addressed and other people doesn’t get treated the way we did. My stars will be updated once someone addresses my claim. Besides the bad costumer service of the girl up front, great experience.

    It's a very well taking care of facility. They're animals all look healthy and happy and they seem to be very clean. Because of the COVID my daughter couldn't go in the "bubbles" to pop her head up in the aquariums like you use to be able to do but it was still fun.

  • 3/5 Mr. W. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a solid aquarium although small. Its size makes you feel like you are being "herded through the exhibits like cattle" and although I think SeaLife does what it can to enforce social distancing ( time entry windows, sanitizer stations, close off certain areas) it is unfortunately not really enforced. People still are far to close to each other and bottlenecked due to the aquarium size. This is the biggest problem when are entering the aquarium as it generally is better once people get moving along. It takes about an hour to get through everything and there is some really good things to see. No flash photography and the lighting of the exhibits can make picture taking blurry. You are better off taking video to get picture shots later if you want to photograph anything. I think this place is better geared towards kids but we still enjoyed it. I just would have it enjoyed it better outside of COVID

    The aquarium was really cool but the experience was not. They let you know to keep 6 ft, and to keep masks on before you enter but once you enter the aquarium everyone is on top of you with no masks and there's only the first room with an employee asking people to social distance.

    It was nice. Didn't really stand out to me. It was just an aquarium. Some of the covid closures may have contributed, since there seemed to be places you could be in the tanks that were roped off, but if you're looking for an aquarium, this is definitely that.

    The zoo health Club is in a great location right next door to a childcare facility. When you walk in you are greeted immediately and you feel welcomed. The gym itself is moderate in size and square footage with a fairly good-sized free weight area and a lot of machines. Almost too many machines. I understand that the owner wants to make as much equipment available as possible. It just seems a little crowded with all of the machines. It can't be tight in some areas to get around each machine but, there are plenty of treadmills, ellipticals, stairmasters, and other cardio equipment which is always a good thing. My focus for them would either be to get more square footage for the equipment they have or reduce some of the equipment for the square footage they have. They also have a good juice and smoothie Bar from the feedback I received for others. I cannot say I was able to try it myself. The men's shower facilities are a bit small and tight. and if you want to take a shower be patient because it takes a long time for the hot water to come around. I waited over 10 minutes. On a good note, I was able to point this out to the owner and he took the information very well and constructively. The other thing I like about this gym is that they are open to ideas and suggestion. They seem to want to genuinely improve their gym and every aspect of it. I also like the fact that they get to know you on a first-name basis. As often as I work out a family feel to the gym is critical to me and I get that family feeling here.

    Great staff, I asked a woman to respect social distancing when she came right up behind us with her unmasked child. She passive aggressively followed the rules (thinking she won I guess?) and then proceed to complain about me to the staff. They calmed her down, and staff gave us no trouble at all. If you’re worried about people not social distancing, just let the staff know and they will handle it.

    Absolutely horrible how they rip people off! Bought my tickets online that said we could fast track to the ticket counter. I warn you all that this is NOT true. Got there and was told that the wait was over and hour and a half with NO FAST TRACK. Just standing in the hot sun behind a thousand other people. No refunds and can't change the date. SEA LIFE ruined our family vacation! Could have at least refunded us so I could take my son elsewhere.

  • 1/5 Alyss A. 3 years ago on Google
    Be prepared to wait outside shoved up against people in a long long line!! I bought tickets online only to show up and have to wait in a mile-long line anyways. The establishment should have covid restrictions in place like timed entry tickets. Other attractions are able to organize this so these crowds and lines don’t happen.. I drove almost 2 hours with 3 kids only to wait what would have probably been another hour or more in line. I asked a girl if I could get a refund and she took a photo with her phone to refund me. I haven’t gotten any notification that it’s been done yet so hopefully it won’t be a credit card dispute & she will actually do it. I was just looking forward to this visit and am super disappointed! The wax museum next door also had a super long line.

It’s never incredibly busy and I consider it to be quite affordable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the place is kept quite clean. I 10/10 recommend checking Sea Life out.

    save your money. the website was down when i went and so you had go buy tickets in person at the icon park counter. we had to buy tickets for the wheel AND sea life. $80. the aquarium wasn’t all that and there weren’t many exhibits. plus, in the 360 tunnel there was a dead turtle trapped. the georgia aquarium is better. i recommend The Florida Aquarium for anyone who wants to visit something like this. there are so many more animals and experiences AND it’s a ton cheaper. edited to add: obviously that turtle is not alive. there were other tiny fish eating pieces of the turtle and it had chunks hanging off of it. whatever you say tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • 3/5 A2Z R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a nice aquarium. The price for adults and children (3-12 years old) is kind of high since it’s over $25 for kids and over $30 for adults. This experience is about 1 to 1.5 hours long. I could suggest many options with better value in Orlando / central Florida. The aquarium is however nice and clean and has a interactive kiosk. If you can get a coupon or promo visit them!

  • 4/5 Helene 2 years ago on Google
    Had a good time at the aquarium but $36 for adult admission is a bit steep but then again Orlando's attractions are expensive. Overall it was a decent aquarium (on the small size compared to others I've been to and less $$). I'm sure kids would love it more than the adults.

  • 5/5 A T. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to aquariums all over the world. Some very impressive and others that seriously lacked. I had low expectations here because Icon Park is a tourist trap... boy was I wrong! Sea Life is the highlight of the entire place! I was shocked to see the variety of species here. The presentation is impressive too! The Axolotl exhibit is the largest I've seen anywhere. I would revisit Icon Park for the aquarium alone! It may not have a Whale Shark but it's a great big little aquarium- Have FUN!

    Such a nice aquarium. I really like how they used different reflections to make nice effects with the water. They have a great variety of fish, shark, eels, jellyfish and a touching pool. My favorite was the axolotls. I have always wanted to meet one. They were doing reservation in advance so it wasn't too crowded. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. If you have kids they also had a lot of areas for them to go under and explore the aquarium more, like small caves.

    SEA LIFE Orlando at ICON Park is an OK aquarium. We did the package deal that included Madame Tussauds so the price wasn’t as high as other guests have mentioned in their reviews. SEA LIFE Orlando is quite small for an aquarium and can be managed in under an hour and that’s taking your time seeing the different creatures and reading about them. I will say that they definitely keep the aquarium clean and I can appreciate that. I didn’t have high expectations for this aquarium from the beginning because it was inside of a mall like space with other businesses including food and desert establishments. I only recommend SEA LIFE Orlando if you are visiting Madame Tussauds as well and get the package deal, if not I would pass on this and visit The Florida Aquarium in Tampa for a real aquarium feel!

    My kiddo(12yr old) and I had a most wonderful time. It definitely better than expected and longer than expected. Lots of good facts about sea life and the different oceans.

    It's pretty, plenty of sea life and some the kids can touch and learn from the person giving the insight ... The aquariums were huge and decorated lovely, kids will love it!! The shop was cute and kids will want something stuffed to take home, so PARENTS BEWARE!!! 😜

    Most part of the animals are fishes. I don't have nothing against them but I already gone to other smaller aquariums and these has a better variety os species. Some little sharks, sea horses and rays make it look a little more exciting but could be better, due to the fact that the ticket to enter this attraction is not cheap. When talking about animal life, every penny is worthy.

    This was an awesome experience for my husband and I. It had tons of cool things for both adults and kids. They had a sea life petting area to pet anemones and starfish, was really neat! Awesome view of sharks, sea turtles, fish, and sting rays! We live in Florida but this was our first time here and it was a great time.

    Looking for a way out of the heat and something a little more relaxing than another theme park, we found the SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium. It says to purchase tickets ahead online (which you can) but we wanted to take advantage of the AZA zoo membership discount through the partnership program and elected to purchase tickets when we arrived. Purchasing tickets went smoothly and they helped us get set up with our discount. They took our family photo upon entering the aquarium, which turned out nicely, but we decided not to purchase the photo. They had printed out the photo before we reached the end but we could have decided by viewing the photos at the kiosk which would have saved them printing costs. Back to the aquarium, after reading reviews I was worried that it wouldn't take us long to go through but with our 2 (almost 3) year old twins we spent a solid two hours touring the facility and exhibits. The aquarium had some fun facts throughout and a decent variety of fish to see. Their bigger tank and 360 tunnel were the stars of the show. The exhibits had quite a few of those pop up areas where kiddos could crawl under and pop their head up "inside" the tank which they loved and there were plenty of places down low for them to get a good view without being picked up which was nice for us. Overall, with our discount it was a great value for the money. I would recommend this exhibit for those looking for a more relaxing way to escape the summer heat.

    They bred over 2500 species over the years. Great fun place for youngsters as well kids. Combo tickets 🎟 which include Wheel as well, are recommended. The total package will cost $96. It's worth it.

    Brought my lady here as part of our 5 year anniversary. I can confidently say it was the best aquarium I could have brought her too as she loves sea life and was dying to see them in a tunnel. The tunnel alone was an awesome experience, but all of the options throughout were great. One minor issue I had was how low you had to get to get into some of the “domes”? I’m only 5’8” but couldn’t get myself low enough to crawl into some with out totally embarrassing myself. Admittedly I think they were more inclined for children but I would have liked to see the view from inside the domes. Small fish, big fish, (small) sharks, sea horses, turtles, jelly fish, sting rays, and idk how many more. All awesome to see only inches away.

    I haven't been to an aquarium since I was little. This truly brings the kid out. It was so fun to see the different fish and amazing tanks they have. Wasn't too crowded and I was able to admire the fish I like. Cool turtles and the tunnel was fun as well.

    We came here at 11am. Glad we did. The line that followed when we were leaving was long. This is an awesome thing for kids. My son 3yo and daughter 18 months old (walking) LOVED this place. I was impressed. Even as an adult. The one thing just like any theme park ride is the over priced store at the end. The clothes are not so bad, everything else that follows including the food outside of it, RUN. Groosly over priced. The hat was a rip off too but I bought it as my daughter loves it even now. There is ANOTHER exit prior to the store, I will use it next time. I do like the little bubble things for kids to be in the middle of the aquarium so they can immerse themselves in the environment. Pretty cool. If you have kids this is worth it even more. As an adult its good even for a single visit. I do see us returning when we have our 3rd. There was a lady forgot her name, she talks on the Mic, very knowledgeable and informative. The photos way over priced, and no negatives or disc to get more prints. Total rip off also.

    Great experience and pretty big. There are some designs so you can crawl under the fish tank to feel like inside. There are quite a variety and some pretty big ones! There are also mermaid shows and guides in spots to explain and give details of the fish in the aquarium. There is a part were you can touch some sea creatures (the water is really cold though). Overall a great experience!

    Shark's, stingrays and turtles oh my! Lots of sea life visible in multiple aquariums. Great views of both large and small turtles, large variety of colorful fish, and other fmsea life. Great place to visit with kids. They have domes for kids to crawl into to get a 360 view of the tank, and a large touch tank.

    It has been extremely hot outside, so we came here for an indoor activity. The aquarium is really cute, but extremely small. I think if it wasn’t for the scavenger like hunt for the kids and the touch tank, you can finish this place in 30 mins (at the end of the hunt the kids get a bracelet). We spent maybe an hour here at the most. Price seemed high for what it is, but I guess due to the location I can understand the pricing for admission.
