Aquarium of Niagara

My kids and I had such a great time at the Aquarium of Niagara this morning! Well kept facility, friendly staff, and beautiful exhibits. Awesome seal and sea lion exhibit and presentations, loved to see the penguins, and my kids and I really enjoyed touching the backs of stingrays and touching the playful, massive sturgeons! Very short walk to the Great Lakes 360 building was worth it. We will absolutely be returning! FYI to moms going with young ones- leave the wagons at home. Small strollers/wearable carriers preferred due to mostly manual doors. We brought our Baby Trend wagon and unfortunately the bathroom doors were narrow and not automatic. (Bathrooms were spotless though I will add!) The rear entrance to the Aquarium is handicap accessible but is also not automatic. Inside the aquarium is completely wagon/stroller friendly though and does have elevators if you’re like me and brought a wagon anyway. Great Lakes 360 doors are automatic and navigation is very wagon friendly, although we did not use the bathroom in that building so can’t speak to the doors on those. After visiting, we went down the road to rainforest cafe and then the falls nearby. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

My 13 year old daughter has been obsessed with seals. I did a Google search for where we could do a seal encounter and came across the Niagara Falls Aquarium, which is about three hours away from us. It was extremely affordable for admission into the aquarium plus for the seal encounter was affordable as well. We bought admission, seal encounter and parking in advance online, very simple and user friendly. I had a question regarding the seal encounter before booking and they responded to my email almost immediately. The aquarium itself is small, but very nice and all the exhibits were very clean. The gift shop was also affordable. All staff members we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The seal encounter was fun and something my daughter will always remember. She was in her glory with the seals.we fed them fish, touched them and had them doing tricks. I would highly recommend this aquarium. Be sure to plan your day around the presentations they offer, the sea lion presentation is incredible.

Had a great time in this local aquarium. It's about two hours between both building if you stop and enjoy the exhibits. The penguin feeding time and sea- lion show were great. They have two touch tanks, one in the main building and one in thier local fish and wildlife building. You can see seals before you enter. Parking is extra cost but convenient. I liked the starter theme around the jellies. It was a very nice layout and fun to chat with the keepers who help enrich the animals lives and share these neat creatures with the next generation.

We loved visiting this aquarium! They have a nice variety of different sea life that you can watch . The seals and penguins were a lot of fun to watch. Overall I would say this is one of the best aquariums I’ve been to on the east coast.

Had a great time at this little aquarium. My wife and I frequent zoos and Aquariums across the us and Canada. This one has a great seal display inside and a good amount of other displays including some really cool jellyfish. The aquarium is on the smaller side so expect to spend about 30 minutes to an hour to see everything, unless you are going to hand out for the shows.
