in my opinon, it is better in some ways than the dallas aquarium. it geared to children and makes a great place to take young children under 12. if you have seen major aquariums this will not have anything new for you. easy to park, easy to visit

This is a good thing to do with kids if they are younger and you go when it is less crowded. They do need more sharks and less crap to buy at the end of the tour. Again this is a thing for kids to enjoy.

I enjoyed this...it was really unexpected...not great but really very nice. After a dismal visit to LegoLand next door, I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of sea life and lots of easily obtained information. Not much hands on activities (I was with 7&8 year old g'kids) but they enjoyed it. Plenty of places to sit and watch. It was a decent...

As far as aquariums go, this isn't the best (relative to Shedd in Chicago or the one in Corpus Christi). It is great for the area, though. It is not huge, but there is enough sea life to keep one entertained. And it is different than the Dallas World Aquarium, which, while doesn't focus on sea life, is a nicer... More

I've been to many aquariums and this one was just okay ... very small. Don't do the behind the scene tour b/c it not really worth the money. I went there for our company department outing so at least I didn't pay for it :-)

I was totally shocked by this aquarium. It's inside Grapevine Mills Mall, so I didn't figure it would be very good. I was WRONG! It's big (2 floors) and they have workers at different stations (like the octopus) that tell you facts about particular animals! It was a great experience and I would recommend the Sea Life Aquarium to everyone.

This aquarium is fairly small but, extremely unique, my daughter loved it and everyone I have taken thinks it is the most different aquarium experience they have ever had.

It was cute but very small (I think my dentist's office has more tanks). Much rather go to the Dallas Aquarium in downtown.

We went to Sea Life after we had visited The World Aquarium in Dallas. They are two very different aquariums and both are terrific. Not only diod we enjoy the variety of exhibits at Sea Life but they have some pretty nifty viewing points for the children, One or two mature age children were known to sneak in to see... More
