A fun afternoon

I really enjoyed it! The weather was cold and snowy, so it was a nice escape from the outdoors.
 
 
 
 
 
The Children Are Royalty Here
By Mom of Many, 08/15/08
Someone said pricy... they must not have been to other aquariums. As one of the finest aquariums I have been to I wil pay it again and again. The sights are fantastic.... you can touch, feed and watch. But I have to rave how the employees treated the kids like royalty. From the greeters, the educators and the divers who play with the children from inside the tanks. A truely magical experience for 4 of my kids from 1 to 10 and even mom!

The kids loved it!
By DONNA S, 11/13/07
We visted the Aquarium just this weekend and had an excellent time. It is just a short drive from the Interstate and there are signs pointing the way there. One tip though, if you are coming in from out of state have quite a bit of change on hand as you will most likely be traveling on Indian Nation toll roads. When you are paying your admittance fee into the Aquarium, if you happen to be a member of AAA you will get a $2.00 per person discount, but you have to ask for it. This saved the 4 of us $8.00 off of the about $52.00 cost. The aquarium is not big, like a Marineland type setting so if that is what you are looking for you might be a bit disappointed, but it is just the right size where the children will not be whining after 2 hours, which is about what it took us to see all the exhibits. The exihibits are set up wonderfully, especially in one area where when you walk through it you can see sharks swimming next to and above you! The staff is very friendly and helpful. All and all we enjoyed our visit to the Aquarium very much.

Would be worth about $5
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/11/07
My husband and I went to the aquarium hoping for a day of peaceful wonderment and what we got was about 30 minutes of screaming kids, backs of heads, and dissapointment. It's not that the aquarium wasn't interesting, but the price of admission is far too high for what is available to look at. Also, the layout makes it seem crowded even with just an avarage number of people. The shark tunnel was impressive and I would have enjoyed it very much if the parents had heeded the "quiet zone" signs instead of letting large groups of children run through the tunnel at full speed and screaming their heads off. The Tulsa Zoo is a much better bargain and has a much better atmosphere so we will continue to spend our Sunday afternoons there rather than in Jenks.

don't waste your time
By tee-tee, 10/27/07
Pro: Yes it is educational Con: It is too pricey, short distance to walk. For the prices they ask it really isn't worth the time and trip. We drove 2 hours to take a 45 minute walk through.

I love it there!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/19/07
I loved this place because of all the marine animals there. There are beautiful seahorses and graceful, peaceful sharks and a bunch more! The dwarf seahorses are so adorable, everyone in my 6th grade class loved them!!! The shark feeding was quite an experience; the sharks would gather around the diver as he threw the food at them. I also loved the jellyfish. The were so pretty as they moved along. In all, this is a wonderful place to go.

Wonderful visit!
By mommag, 08/13/06
We went there with friends we were visiting. We all had a wonderful time. It was crowded, but if it wasn't good...would it be? Fantastic experience. I could have spent the whole time watching the jelly fish and the lion fish. What a show!!!

Very nice!
By Heidi, 12/20/05
This is by far the best aquarium I've ever seen! My favorite part is the shark spot where you walk into a clear tunnel and you can see the sharks swim overtop of you! I also liked the areas where you could touch certain species such as starfish. All of the fish in this aquarium are very beautiful and healthy. I recommend everyone that likes exploring animals or likes nature to come and check this place out!
