I just read a very negative review by another traveler and I am amazed at the difference of opinion. Mystic is a bit pricey but they are so much more than an aquarium. If you take time to see the sea lion show and spend time in the ray touch tank tent, you will hear employees tell you that they... more

Many reviewers seem to knock the aquarium due to price and its size, number of exhibits but we enjoy it and have been to many other, bigger aquariums (Camden, NJ and Monterey, CA). This is not SeaWorld but I don't believe it is intended to be. This was our second visit and actually both times we have been pleased that... more

My Family had a great time at the aquarium, the attractions were very educational. A lot of hands on with several of the attractions. They enjoyed touching the rays and being able to hold sea stars. The penquins were the best (up close) and very playful near the glass...kids really liked the closeness. Great day out with the family. more

My husband and I recently took a long weekend to Mystic and hit the touristy spots, including Mystic Aquarium, Seaport, and Village. We had a blast. Mystic Aquarium was the first attraction of the weekend, and it was worth the stop of the day. When we arrived, we picked up tickets at the main gate, and opted for the Mystic... more

Before setting off for our first visit to the Mystic Aquarium, I read several reviews which cited how expensive this attraction was. We set off and paid $24 for an adult admission and $17 for each child admission---- this price allowed us to visit the attractions including up close viewings of Belulga whales (only one of several places in the... more

If you have ten minutes to kill and a lot of money to lose, go to the Mystic Aquarium! It's not an aquarium---it's a huge project thrown together at the last minute. Worse, the park employees make a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to lose money and make you miserable the whole day! Me and my family went... more

We visited this Aquarium in July 2008 - we nearly didn't as my husband was a little put off by some of the previous comments on this site. Hey - this isn't Seaworld, but it doesn't advertise itself as that either. We were pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the outdoor tanks and enclosures, and the fact that this... more

I expected alot more for the prices they charge. I was not impressed at all. The food in the food court was not very good either for the prices they charge. I'd skip it and opt for just the Seaport, Mystic Village, and Downtown Mystic instead! more

I went with my family to the Aquarium two weeks ago, it was nice but i feel that it could be better. The diversity in the sea creatures is Ok but I was very dissapointed with the shows or "classes" about the sea lions and beluga whales, it was my mistake maybe to believe that it was a show and... more
