This is such a cute and small little aquarium. It is hidden away inside of a shopping center and honestly what a little gem. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. They're definitely was a little bit of a line but overall a great experience. Although the place is small it is very Interactive. For $2 per token you can buy a bunch of tokens to feed the fish another animals. It's a little fun experience. Most of the feeding only takes one token but some of the larger feedings like the parrots or sloths take much more.
It's a great way to kill about 1 hour of your day. We went through the whole thing in a little bit more than an hour and I brought two kids with me. Any longer than that and honestly you're just walking in circles but overall we still enjoyed it. If you're in the area and looking for something quick to do then definitely hit this place up.

I took my son to seaquest for a field trip with his class. The lady that was our guide was awesome. The feeding process is pretty expensive but worth it for the first time of wanting to feed the animals. We had a good time at SeaQuest we would probably do it again but not a monthly routine maybe once a year

They have a nice set up. Tons of interaction with animals. Variety of animals is limited in my opinion however my child enjoyed☺️which is the main point. They have tokens to feed fish and reps. Ducks will eat right from your hand!

From what I could see, they do their best to take care of these animals. The little turtle looked like one of his legs wasn't working, and the giant eels looked way too big for their aquarium. Didn't have to be an expert to know that. Perhaps too many fish in the big aquarium, but overall, the caretakers were knowledgeable and did answer any questions that you might have. My granddaughter loved it, and if you want to see some exotic mammals, this is the place. It was clean and family-friendly.

My kids and I did an Epic Quest today and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Daniel was our guide for the first part and Jessica was for the second part. Five stars to both of them! So kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

I recently took a high school animal science class here for a field trip and it was amazing. Everyone was super helpful and very informative. However during our tour Rosea P (an RVT here) came out and offered to talk with the students and answer any questions they had. She was very informative and so kind, she even treated the students to a special treat of getting to see the sloths and capybara weighed. Rosea took the time to answer about the animals and made the entire trip so much extra special for the kids. Thank you so much to the staff and special thanks to Rosea for going above and beyond! Sea quest is so fortunate to have people as caring and engaging as her. We will certainly be back with our next class in the spring.

It was great fun for the little one. The exhibits are very interactive, but the humidity was a bit much. Multiple areas were closed. No regrets and worth the one hour drive we took to get there.

This place was very fun for our family. Wait can be long, I recommend arriving early or on weekdays.
It’s not huge but every lap around you see more animals. We were there 4 hours with 3 interactions.
We went expecting a cool air conditioned space since it was nearly 115. If that’s what you want go to Dave and Busters. It’s fairly warm but manageable and super fun that distracts you from heat with huge fans everywhere. They also have a lot of animals that need the warmer environment so we weren’t bothered by it just was unexpected. It prob feels great on a cooler day.
The staff seemed to all enjoy their job and be knowledgeable about animals. Many get let out into other spaces when people are gone like the tortoise but some spaces could be bigger.
Here’s where improvements are needed: the cost is high, but we feel it goes to a good cause, however they need to be more descriptive in interactions and the costs vary so much.
ex: it is 25$ to feed an otter through a tube through plexiglass and learn some facts. You can also use 10 tokens, which is significantly cheaper especially when bundling. It is 2 coins to go in the tortoise den feed and pet him while also getting information and asking questions. 4$ vs 25$ for essentially the same experience. Capybaras and wallaby’s you interact by going in their rooms to pet and feed. While a porcupine they just open a half door and you get to feed with tongs. The premium interactions are only 7 minutes which is not advertised.
The machines can be frustrating. I understand a little food because these are mostly fish and being fed all day. But several machines let out 1-3 pieces of partial shrimp while most let out a heaping tablespoon. It hard to justify 2$ for a crumb that could be found on floor.
They also need to advertise and send links for waiver signatures and pre count coins in sets of at least ten . I think this is what delays getting in. It shouldn’t take 30-40 minutes to get in when there is only 6 or 7 families.
The snorkeling is so worth every penny.
All in all we recommend. We were a large group and I was hoping for more petting and interaction w/ animals but we’ll choose different ones next time.
