SEA LIFE Kansas City

Best Sea Life Aquarium in the country! Ok I haven't been to all of them. But I've been to multiple. This one is a gem. I guess the secret isn't out yet, because I had the place to myself. Clean. Staff was very friendly. Great selection of sea creatures. Loved every second of it. Highly recommend the behind the scenes tour.

Personally, I hated it. I am not one that is usually bothered by crowds. Unless certain conditions are present that make for a terrible experience. The place was packed. In every other aquarium I have been too that isn't a problem as there is usually enough space to move and progress at a steady pace, but not here. It was wall to wall and to add to the madness there are at least a half dozen choke points that make it nearly impossible to move faster than the group(s) in front of you. The major interactive attraction was understaffed for the number of people there and so the line took forever. So if you have issues with tight and crowded places be aware. My girls loved it! The glass was clean and they could see everything. Even the glass tunnels were clean and everything was visible. So that was a huge plus as most of these places can get pretty trashy in those areas. They were able to see some sea life that they hadn't before and even a couple they had no idea existed. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience outside of the tight-overcrowded space, but we likely will never go back. For us it was a 1 time visit as it doesn't even come close to comparing with the Branson, MO Aquarium.

I took my daughter who is non verbal autistic to see the fish which she loves dearly. We got in line bought our tickets and started to go inside. At first it was over whelming for her and a staff member noticed and immediately offered a sensory pack to us. Another staff member let us know when then groups of moved ahead and opened the door for my daughter to see the fish and we went inside. I noticed during our walk through the displays there was a person giving training to other employees on how to assist people with all of different special needs. It was impressive to say the least. The staff was very kind and caring throughout the entire sea life display. Well trained, very kind, and amazing staff and we had an amazing experience because of that. Thank you so much on behalf of myself and my daughter.

This aquarium was magnificent. A good variety of fish with some hands on experiences. The workers were plentiful to answer your questions. You can design fish that will display in a virtual aquarium.

Cute place! Not very big but still a lot of fun! We also enjoyed being able to "pet" some of the creatures. We went today for the Animal Crossing event, and it was so cute. They integrated the characters with a stamp hunt, and we got to take pics with 2 of the mascots.
