We liked everything about it! There is a price reduction for seniors. We went at opening time and spent the whole day there. We did find the site plan a little difficult to follow. It's huge and a lot of it is underground. All the fish looked really healthy. There are also birds including penguins. Walrus and it's the first... More

We went thinking it would be an environmental, ecological experience but found it to be little more than a zoo. Very sad. Small tanks and not much information, wouldn't go again. For a great experience go to the science museum, a great experience! More

We decided to get off the hop on hopf off bus because Oceanografic looked so impressive with 9 separate buildings. It was absolutely amazing. From the different aquarium buildings to the birds to the dolphin show. It takes a good couple of hours to go through this place so make sure you have the appropriate amount of time. It is... More

Okay, if you're claustrophobic or hate being in crammed areas with lots of people, this is not the place for you. However, if that doesn't matter to you, it's a great aquarium. A lot of fun to walk in the tunnels and see all of the sea life swimming above your head. You can easily spend a good half day... More

We enjoyed walking through and under the large aquarium with the sharks and various fish. We also enjoyed watching the Beluga whales and walruses up relatively close and the dolphin show and sea lion show. We dined in the submarine restaurant which was relatively expensive however the food was good and it was a unique experience with fish and rays... More
