This place was a total gem. Tons to see and my entire family loved it. The touch tanks are great for kids. There are so many animals to see and observe. Everything about this place was top notch.Special kudos to the staff here. Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable. The keepers and educators were beyond fantastic. They took time with the kids to answer questions and explain things. This was a a really wonderful experience.

It's so nice to have an aquarium in our area. While it's a small aquarium, they have a great variety of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and some animals!It's a lot of fun walking around and seeing the different animals and the habitats that they put together for them.They also do a great job here with birthday parties du I recommend them for that as well!

We had a lot of fun here when we attended the after hours wine tasting event in the mall afterhours. There were numerous businesses giving wine free tastings and all the stores were closed. The only one that we were able to check out was the Aquarium and its gift shop. We had so much fun checking out all of the fish, but especially the turtles. They had some great exhibits and it's worth checking out.

I was just at this place, and some of their closures are so small for the animal. They have this big snapping turtle or whatever he is with moss on him in this tiny thing when he is so much bigger than that, not to mention the crocodile cage and the alligator cages are super small compared to the size of them…. this is sad. And the water monitor was moving around his cage with caution from it being so small to move around. but i have to say overall it was a good experience!

This was a last minute trip but worth every penny. They have such a great selection of sea life, reptiles & mammals. Staff was friendly & knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the education class with the touch & feel segment as they showcased the different species. The entire family had a blast! We would definitely return if we were in the area. Added bonus was the clean bathrooms!

Bought tickets online we were able to save about $5 off each ticket. This aquarium is in a mall, which my family thought was unique. It's much larger inside than you would think. There is a large variety of animals, and all looked happy and well cared for. We would definitely return. If you park in the parking garage, they validate your ticket, so make sure you bring it with you!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

I do not recommend the birthday parties.I’ve come to this location multiple times with my son and thought it would be perfect to celebrate his 1st.I was not told that all my guests had to arrive before the actual start time, so some of my friends with their children were not allowed in. We had exactly an hour in the party room. You can come ahead of time but, be prepared to carry around everything you brought.We were the hosts yet, never received our wrist band for return access. We felt extremely rushed and uncomfortable.

It’s a very small place in a mall but beautifully curated and arranged. The exhibits are pristine and the animals looked healthy which is important if you want kids to enjoy and learn. Overall a decent experience but expect to be done in a half hour or less.

Cute decent sized aquarium for Scranton! Kids love it, especially the interactive parts. Petting the horseshoe crabs and stingrays makes the trip worthwhile! A couple of hours and you are through the whole thing, but it's great to have such a sweet, educational place to take families to in our area.

I loved the experience definitely it's an amazing find, very unexpected to be so full of animal life, and activities since its inside a "mall"/shopping area.Prices where great, employees where nice and friendly.Definitely something to look forward to.

This place is a hidden gem! The animal displays were all very clean and the animals looked well cared for. The fish tanks were beautiful, loved the coral designs. And the rainforest section was SO cool! Not sure why people are saying $20 for an adult is too much to pay, this place definitely gives you your money's worth. Highly recommend!!

It was an amazing experience. Scranton as a whole was underwhelming but this place saved the trip. We easily spent over an hour here looking at everything. The animals they had were amazing and seemed well cared for. There’s 3 sections you can go through and then a cute gift shop at the end. I only rate it a 4/5 because we paid to feed stingrays and one BIT me on the hand. Wouldn’t recommend that part…

Really neat place especially since it's inside of a mall. There were a variety of different reptiles and animals throughout. Was a little disappointed that they switched shark feeding for catfish feeding. Otherwise, tickets are reasonable and a nice place to check out in Scranton

Very cool!! The animals are beautiful and everything is so clean and well taken care of in this location. It is a small aquarium but you won't be disappointed by how great everything is put together and you can tell how happy the animals are. They have starfish touch exhibits and petting for small rays and horseshoe crabs. I recommend supporting them and take the time for a visit!

We took our grandkids (age 8 and 4 1/2) there today. Parking was free in the parking garage. Not sure if that is every weekend or not. Aquarium is inside the marketplace, which is like a mall. That being said, it is plenty big to entertain us for 3 hours. The aquarium activities are spaced out perfectly to keep you engaged and busy enjoying. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and go out of their way to accommodate. We saw numerous animal feedings, 2 animal presentations, got to pet a few and saw everything. We had a great time!!!
