My visit to the san antonio aquarium was an absolute blast the best part of the trip was definitely the hands-on interactions. I got to feed an alligatorhow often do you get that opportunity? I also petted adorable lemurs and a surprisingly friendly porcupine the kangaroo feeding was such a fun experience, and i even got to touch stingrays as they glided by in the water. The variety of animals and the chance to engage with them made this aquarium visit unforgettable. If youre an animal lover or just looking for a unique experience, this place is a must-visit

"Nice aquarium."
Nice aquarium. They also have birds ,kangaroos lemurs,sharks and interactive habitat where you can pay a token or 2 to pet the animals. There are actually a lot of animals there including penguins snakes its really cool if you have kids, kids will enjoy feeding the animals and playing on the bounce houses. They also have a concession stand theres an outside area also so dont forget to go out and check out those animals.

We were very surprised to find that there are many non-aquatic animals here the staff were very friendly and accommodating to my wife in a wheelchair. A couple of the attractions could have been better lit, and the path through the place could have been a bit clearer. Otherwise, it was pretty awesome

They really take advantage of the space they have! There is so much inside, that we didn’t even get to finish outside. The coins are expensive to pet and feed the animals, but i guess they have to pay the bills somehow since the tickets themselves aren’t priced too bad. I save half my coins for next time. Other than falling in love with the sloths, the sting ray tank is awesome and they really do eat out of your hand. Check it out!!!

The aquarium was awesome, loved that we got to feed all kinds of animals from alligators to stingray and capybaras. I just wish the website mentioned that the kangaroos are nocturnal and sleep during the day, when i saw you could have a kangaroo encounter that’s what drew me in but when we got there they told us they sleep during the day and i was a bit disappointed.

This was a real surprise for my wife and i and another couple we travel with.
The aquarium looked small from the outside but once you get in it’s really a large complex.
We had some time to spare and because we had free admission we gave it a shot.
Totally impressed with the interaction with so many different animals. Touch is encouraged and to be able to get in some of the cages to feed them was really great! Lemurs.Alpacas,stingrays turtles kangaroos.
We’re from florida and just visited seaworld in orlando. Our group had much more fun at san antonio aquarium. Orlando has shows and orcas but if i were choosing where to take my family i would highly recommend this aquarium.
It’s not just animals but also a bounce house area snack bar..Perfect for youngsters
like i said this was a real surprise and are so glad we didn’t skip it. All 4 people in our group is over 65 but watching each other ooh and ahh about different exhibits was fun. There were some kids on field trips this day and well behaved groups. The staff was very friendly and really helpful. Seemed to be really engaged and wanted everyone to enjoy their visit
