Sea Life as a whole is disappointing. This is not the first location I’ve been to, but it’s definitely the last, especially as someone going to school for marine biology. The sharks and rays seemed as though they were in distress, the turtles had no enrichment items whatsoever, and the tanks were CRAMMED with way too many fish and definitely not enough space for them. It’s disgraceful to the marine life and those that actually give a single care about them to see the state they're in. Aside from the poor housing of the marine life, the prices are atrocious. We really should have just gone to the Dallas Aquarium.

Sea Life is an amazing place to visit! There’s a wide variety of fish and sea creatures to see, and you can tell they take really good care of them. The ticket price is quite reasonable for the experience you get. The staff are passionate and happy to explain things, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Sea Life is an awesome place to take the family and makes learning about ocean animals super fun. It’s laid out really well, so you can easily explore and enjoy each section without feeling rushed or lost. The staff is super friendly and you can tell they really care about the animals. It’s especially cool to see how they help injured sea turtles get healthy again.

The employees were wonderful, especially Tyler who talked to us about all the different animals at length and got my daughter really engaged with locating different animals in the tanks and learning how to tell different species of stingrays apart. I suggest going on a weekday when it is quieter if you can. The personalized experience you get from the employees is amazing. Also, do the behind the scenes tour if you want to learn more about the work they do.

Update, Thursday 10/30/25, sea life has extended the fall sale, thus making me pay for more days then needed since I purchased before then end of sale date with a countdown yesterday… now, there is no officially announced end date. Corporate, come on. Announce if there’s an end of a sale, then just do it. Try not to disrespect the customer. You can do better. Update, Wednesday 10/29/25 is the last day of the fall membership sale. I lowered to one Star because no in person question, phone message, or email message would give me that answer. I only was able to find out because I’m signed up for the corporate email list. Please do share information with your employees so they can do their job well, which is what they want to do. Thank you corporate sea life people….. previous post, When does the fall sale on your annual passes end?? It’s wonderful you have a sale, but you should let customers know when the sale ends. I have emailed, called and left messages, asked in person, and no one has an answer. So, let’s get to the bottom of this. When does the fall sale on annual passes end?? Wait for a corporate email?? Lame and disrespectful. You can do better
