OdySea Aquarium

You can be here for hours enjoying all the exhibits. They even have a audio guide you can follow as you walk through the entire aquarium. Starbucks serves alcoholic drinks.Love this place.

I liked walking around the Odysea aquarium. What I remember the most is seeing the large shark tank in the restroom where the mirror usually is above the sink. I also liked the clown fish that reminds me of Nemo. When I have went to other aquariums before, I like to see the unique sea life. I was surprised that they had some birds in the aquarium. I haven't seen that before in an aquarium, just at the zoos. The penguins were also cute and they kept diving down into the water in front of the glass.The line to purchase tickets IS often long, especially in the summer. I think it's long because the weather is so hot that people like the idea of going somewhere indoors. However, it usually super loud and crowded due to all the kids.

Years ago, we had a membership to Odysea but when our employment took us back to the East Valley, we never really renewed it. During the time we stopped going, a lot of reservations occurred.My visiting family and I had gone here this past weekend to spend time together and show the kids around. There was plenty of parking, but a lot of visitors for a Sunday. We got our tickets at the window, and immediately got our photos taken with two poses (regular and one pretending to hold a penguin.)There was plenty to see especially for my toddler and the teens. As we were looking at some ugly fish, a penguin appeared with an entourage! That was so fun to see the penguin waddle through as the staff let us know it was coming through.They had changed the food court into a Starbucks, and it looked like they were renovating a nearby section. The rest of the exhibit was great, and then we got to the voyager!I absolutely forgot about this section, but before you end your tour, there is an interactive show were you are seated. It is a moving auditorium which shows you three major exhibits as if you're in a submarine and visiting the wildlife.We got our photos at the end of the exhibit and went on our merry way!We will be back again, since it was so fun and the kids really enjoyed it!

We love aquariums. There is something comforting about watching the seemingly random and aimless swimming and activities of marine life in a huge tank. In the entrance there are suspended globe-shaped aquariums. Their bathroom has won an award. You definitely have to visit the bathroom. They have a revolving exhibit which was very cool to experience because it introduced us to three different aquatic habitats from the comfort of our seats. It's not a massive aquarium yet there is plenty to see.

What a beautiful place! Loved that we could purchase both tickets for the Butterfly experience and the aquarium. Made for a great day of family fun with my niece for her first birthday. Not sure who was more excited, me or her? Probably me! I'll definitely be back and thought this was a very fun and informative activity!

The OdySea Aquarium was amazing! I went here with my wife on our first anniversary and we had a great time. There's lots to do and a lot of fish to see. They have jellyfish, penguins, sea lions, sharks, turtles, and stingrays.

We have company from New York. Even tho this is a two hour drive from here it was so worth it. We are former PADI divers and our guest never dove. So a real show and tell day. Moray eel was a show stopper.

Came here for their adults only Fish& Sips event and had am amazing time! We were told to look at the bathrooms because they're the best in the country and it is true! They look straight into the shark tank and it is impressive. We started with the margaritas which were strong and good. The event is less busy than if you went during the day and since it's adults only, no kids screaming. The touch tanks were so much fun and we went second rounds! I suggest eating beforehand since the food options are simple hotdogs and burgers. The bars were stationed around the aquarium and when you finished a drink there was always one nearby. The live music set up was romantic and it was great to sit and watch the fish. I would definitely recommend going on these event nights. I haven't been during regular hours so can't comment on that but highly recommend going during fish& sips.

We visited the aquarium for their Valentine's dinner. E enjoyed the live exhibits and all the workers we encountered were friendly and knowledgeable. The dinner buffet was okay. They kept it full and the lines were never too long. My only complaint would be that they don't sanitize the virtual reality headset after each use. You could provide wipes for guests to clean their own.

What a gem! There really is so much to see here. The first time I came, decided to get season tickets and am glad we did because after the first couple of visits, the trips are free!! There is a fun sit down learning experience that rotates around to several large tanks. There are "petting" areas and we you need a break, there is a Starbucks inside.I do like their gift shop too for unique fun gifts. May have to do some Christmas shopping here a little later in the year!
