Aquarium at the Boardwalk

What an amazing place. We went there yesterday Monday November 30th to pass some time before our room was ready at our hotel. We couldn’t have been more surprised and more pleased at how amazing this place was and how nice all the staff was. It started out pretty good then our son wet himself. We skipped through most of the aquarium so we could change his clothes. While my husband took our little one out to the car I went and spoke with a young lady up front letting her know and to see if it was at all possible to re-enter. To my surprise she said of course we completely understand, just come back in when your done getting your son taken care of. I want to thank her and all the staff for letting us do that. I will highly recommend visiting this aquarium. You will not be disappointed and we will most definitely be back.

Truly a wonder to behold. The experience starts off with a few smaller exhibits and then a 4D ride. Then they let you out into the observation station. Loads of fun, and the staff is amazing. My visit was cut short by a kidney stone attack, and the staff acted quickly. Super helpful. Thanks for making my first experience at the aquarium a memorable and enjoyable time!

We went on Sunday so our tickets were 29.99 each for four adults. We enjoyed all the decor, and took advantage of all the fun side activities such as crawl spaces, hands on and the little theater. It was very enjoyable. All the employees were kind, and we understood there would be flaws in any business that just opened. Since we had come on a Sunday it wasn’t crowded, we had zero wait to enter. We enjoyed all the photo ops. It took about a little over an hour to go through. It could be a fun learning experience. We will be back sometime!

As a Branson resident, I was pumped when I first heard of them building this aquarium. After it had opened, I started seeing negative reviews roll in, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, so I went anyway. What they have is neat, but in no way is it worth even close to what they charge for admission. I feel it would be worth it at maybe $15 to $20, but for a total of $43 for myself, it was an absolute waste of money. Took about 60 minutes taking our time. Even my sister who was pumped to go noticed the gift shop ahead and asked if we were already at the end. Also as a warning, if you have back problems or vertigo, skip the 3D ride. I have no idea why they made that ride so rough!! All in all, I know it will probably be too hard for tourists to pass this place up after seeing the awesome octopus out front, but just don't expect it to be worth the high admission price. If you are on vacation and want to see an aquarium, the WOW in Springfield is MUCH more impressive. This was a one and done for me. I'll definitely make the drive to Springfield if I'm in the mood for an aquarium.

Had a good time, due to Covid was able to take our time and really look. Love the photo opportunities available. Next time will have to bring grandson who will have a great time. The stuff was super friendly. Only draw back I had after going through the Aquarium in Springfield, it is to short for the amount of money it cost to get in, even taking time to see everything. Still enjoyed it.
