We absolutely enjoyed our trip to the Maritime Aquarium...and so did our 2.5 year old son! The Seals were our favorite! It really exceeded our expectations and we're looking forward to our next visit. There were so many areas to explore and it was staffed really well for a Monday morning. It's entirely indoors, so perfect during the winter or on rainy days. Parking was easy with a (pay) garage adjacent to the Aquarium.

Beautiful, organized familiar place. It’s always a good choice even if you don’t live close. The kids love! There are a lot of activities and also a playground space for the little ones. You can pet rays and it’s a cute experience!

I loved visiting this aquarium I touched many sea animals and I had so much fun. Excellent choice to spend the day, I saw so many kids here which I thought was great cause kids can learn a lot in here as they learn of the ocean creatures.

I came here often, as a kid 30 yrs ago, when the place was new. It was my absolute pleasure to bring my own kids. It hasn't changed much, and my kiddos loved it as much as I did!

A super fun place to visit, especially with kids! I came with my niece and nephew, and we all had a blast. I especially loved being able to interact with the sturgeon, as I've never seen those in a touch tank at any other aquarium. And the river otter is amazing. They also have sea turtles that are enormous!

Dec 2023: Small but very fun/interactive aquarium. I’d recommend you eat lunch and head to the aquarium after. It’s much quieter in the afternoon and food options are limited and mediocre on site. Parking garage is across the street. Bring your parking ticket with you to the aquarium. You can pay at the kiosk by the gift shop when you’re about to leave the aquarium. We paid $8 for parking. Pay for sting ray food ($3 for about 2 bait fish) at the information desk. You can also purchase tickets for the 4D show at the info desk. We saw the show called Octopus which was $7/ticket. It was a little less than 15 minutes. We enjoyed it. The sturgeon tank was my favorite. You can pet them! They’re very gentle and friendly. Can’t say the same about the sting rays. They’re not for the faint-hearted. 🙋🏻‍♀️ We had a nice day.

Excellent experience. Loved how friendly the staff is. During slow days, you can finish the aquarium in under 2 hours, including a 4D short movie. I enjoyed the interactive exhibits with animals.

A true gem of an Aquarium with many aquatic animals to view. They have really cool interactive displays where you can touch some of the friendly marine life. Highly reccomend that any who can see, do so. 👍
Great place to visit once in a while . We bought a membership this year so if we go one more time we save tons of money . (Family of 6). Animals are beautiful and look to be in good health , staff is passionate and knowing. My one complaint is the cafe . Cost me $100 for a couple chicken tender plates and a salad that was gross . It was chaos and kind of self serve . Next time we visit I’ll eat at a local restaurant for that price .

Amazing little aquarium. My son enjoyed everymin. He was able to touch sting rays and jelly fish and a crab. There is plenty to do to keep the kid entertained for a little while. I am looking forward to our next trip to the aquarium.
