All visitors, including aquarium members, will need to select a ticket with a specific date and time to visit the aquarium.  

A maximum of 100 visitors may enter every 20 minutes. The last entry time is 3:30 p.m. Member tickets are included in number of visitors allowed per time slot. 

 

Admission may not be allowed more than 10 minutes before your ticket time.  

 

If you are more than 10 minutes late to your ticket time, you may need to purchase a new ticket for a different time slot if we cannot accommodate you at that time. 



If you are visiting with a group, we ask that you ensure everyone is together before entering the admissions area.  

     

You can present your tickets on your mobile device for scanning purposes at the entrance. Printed tickets can be presented as well.



If you purchased a ticket online on our website before the aquarium closed, need to reschedule your visit to a different time or date, or have additional ticket questions, email us at [email protected] 


Is there a time limit for my entry?

Please make every effort to arrive at your ticketed entry time. Time ticketing helps us manage flow into the Aquarium.



Once you arrive there is no limit to the time you can stay. Most guests spend about 90 minutes to two hours at the Aquarium.


Do I need to buy a timed ticket online?

We recommend that you purchase your tickets online in advance to guarantee your timeslot as we have a limited daily ticket capacity.



If you choose to purchase tickets at the door, please note that we are unable to guarantee entry, depending on capacity. If we are sold out for that day, you may have to reschedule for another day.



It is highly recommended to purchase your tickets in advance to reserve your entry time.


Can I purchase a ticket at the door?

Due to reduced capacity, there are a very limited amount of tickets available at the door. It is recommended you book your tickets online to reserve your time slot.


I'm a member. Do I need a timed ticket?

Because of our limited capacity, all visitors need to book a timed ticket. Please log in with your membership card to reserve your free timed tickets.



As with general admissions tickets, space is limited and we cannot guarantee admission unless it is booked in advance.

What our visitors are saying!

  • It was great!

    Congrats on the reopen ~ appreciate the extensive care and safety measures that your team has put in place for guests to continue to visit and allow to stay entertained and educated!

  • One of the best visits

    This was a very good experience, one of the best we have had at the Aquarium. We did not feel rushed, and we were able to see everything, even the outdoor exhibits.

  • Well done!

    The tanks and displays are gorgeous! The food is delicious and the coffee is great! 10/10 would recommend! I would take notes of their tank setups if aquarium hobbyist :)
