  We had such a fun time at SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium with our child! So many beautiful fish, sharks, jellyfish, and sea creatures to see. The underwater tunnel was our favorite part - it felt like walking under the ocean. Everything was clean, easy to walk through with a stroller, and very family friendly. The staff was nice, and there were lots of interactive spots for kids. Perfect place to spend a few hours with family, especially on a hot Texas day. Definitely recommend for parents with small children!

  It was extremely well done for being in a mall. Me and my wife have been to about 3 Aquariums in the past couple of months and we both agreed this is by far our favorite and will be going back. Staff was very friendly knowledgeable. There underwater tunnels was very enjoyable and we took our time walking through it and just sat in different areas watching the multitude of fish and sealife they had in their tanks. Extremely enjoyable can't wait to go again. The prices in the gift shop was well priced I don't think you will be disappointed I know we weren't .Don't take my word for it go check it out for yourself.

  Had a great date with my niece and nephew. Pretty decent aquarium if you are looking for something to do without having to fight Dallas traffic and parking. Small discount if you buy tickets online. For a little extra, you get a view of the behind the scene stuff they do to take care of the animals. They also have a rehabilitation program for injured animals to get release back into the wild. We even learned about the injuries that they sustain which can prevent them from going back oit safely. Eye opening for my niece and nephew to learn how we Humans hurt them. We had a great time and was still awe inspiring to see what they had. Highly recommend a visit and your visit can help grow their programs!

  This was the absolute worst experience in my life. Me and my mother went specifically for the Animal Crossing New Horizons event. In the pictures, they make it look as if everything is themed around ACNH. When we arrived, there was a single shelf in the gift-shop with Animal Crossing merch while the pictures made it seem like the entire gift-shop was themed. Okay, I can get over that. When we got into the check-in line is a whole different story. As soon as we walked in, we could see at least five different schools crowded about, with pre-schoolers screaming and yelling the entire time. We got checked in quickly to try and avoid the school groups, but when we walked into the experience, we couldn't even take a single step. Elbow to elbow. There were, toddlers, children, parents, AND teachers packed in tiny, secluded hallways that could barely even fit 2 family groups comfortably. It was like this the entire time. As we walked through, all we could hear were children screaming and piercing your ear-drums. Oh, and the Animal Crossing theme? Maybe four card-board cut-outs, music (im literallybit even sure, I could not hear over the crowd.), and five signs on the wall. Yeah, that's really a great experience. Seriously, even if it weren't packed up like sardines with 16 bus-loads of children (yeah, we counted the busses when we left by the way.) It would have been a horrible experience either way; and this 'great aquarium' was probably six minutes long if it were a normal crowd size. I wouldn't come back here even if you paid me. Oh, and it was all NORMAL fish with a few stingrays. There wasnt anything exotic, it was fish. We paid $40 to see two common sea creatures and a few cardboard cutouts while we were almost killed from suffocation. I mean good Lord. You're a business. Get some crowd control or something and dont overbook, which is clearly what they did. Let one school in at a time and a few customers or make a specific field-trip exclusive day. Don't just shove every single person you can in there until children are literally knocking each other over and the teachers are screaming to get their attention. If I could, I would rate this in the negatives. My mother and I couldn't even speak to each other because of the noise level. As soon as we got in, we gave up and just clinged to each other like children until we got to the end. We literally had to hold each other's hands to stay together and not get separated (which by the way, it happened anyway. People would physically push between you to get one step ahead.). Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't waste your money and stay home. You could have more fun watching the discovery channel. Do not buy tickets in advance for this place in general. Wait until you get there, because it seems that every day is a potential field trip attraction.
