- Kiley StevensJanuary 27, 2014Only about 40% of the museum is open right now due to reconstruction from Super Storm sandy
- HeatherMay 30, 2012Not the greatest aquarium, but the jellyfish are cool (in the "aliens" exhibit). The sea lions put on a pretty good show.
- OmgItsTarisJuly 29, 2012Do a show first. If you can get as close to the poolside as you can. Schedule everything else around that.
- James LawrieNovember 7, 2010Bring a hat or sunglasses; the way the outdoor exhibits are situated, the sun will be in your eyes most of the day
- MeganJuly 16, 2011If you're active duty military ask for the discount. Military member gets in free, people with then are half price.
- Suzette CorinneMay 28, 2013Just reopened after the Sandy damage. Only about 50% open but we need to support our local businesses!
- SoB NY Chapter PresMay 14, 2012Go to the Seaside Cafe and buy a Souvenir Cup for unlimited free refills
- Brazen LingerieOctober 10, 2010Get a membership that includes free parking. Visit aquarium & then go to the beach or Coney Island.
- JoJo DemirelMarch 30, 2012Free admission Fridays after 3pm (donation). Get here early, line forms quickly.
- Lisa CucinottaAugust 3, 2013Due to construction from Sandy damage most of the aquarium is closed so expect a short trip
- Rugi (Sebnem Shirley Arslan)October 2, 2012It would be amazing if there could be also the dolphins...:)
- ClareApril 11, 2012I was hoping for a bit more, but it was still quite fascinating. There were too many kids, though, and it definitely hindered the experience
- PatrickFebruary 2, 2010Visit the otter feeding. The keepers are friendly and will show you otter tricks and answer questions about the otters.
- PatrickFebruary 2, 2010Buy your tickets online. It costs a bit more, but the line for tickets is usually pretty long. It's worth the few bucks to not stand in line.
- Tom JosephApril 24, 2015Decent collection of sealife, fun for a quick tour and fairly cheap but nothing special
- Silvia S.June 30, 2013Don't bother going until 2015 which is when the reconstruction is to be finished. They have no exhibitions open since hurricane Sandy, except for some fish aquariums, walrus & seals. Waste of time.
- Greg KensingtonSeptember 17, 2014Very small. Still recovering from Sandy but currently at a reduced price for tickets.
- Marques StewartAugust 7, 2010With a BofA card, you can get in free on the first weekend of the month.
- Jonathan LowrieMay 26, 2013Sadly not much open after Sandy. Very sad. Best of luck to the NY Aquarium!
- Aaron BatchelderJuly 7, 2016Not worth going until the facilities are finished. $5 or less would have been a way better price point for what you get.
- Roberto MarchiJuly 23, 2016Unfortunately, after the hurricane, the Acquarium is not worth the visit!...
- Sean SullivanFebruary 18, 2012The line in the cafe is ridiculous. I am waiting about 25-30 mins just to get a water and coffee. Slowest service I have ever encountered. There were only about 10 people in front of me too. :(
- Marina UgoliniApril 27, 2011Very short day. Wasn't much to do here. It wasn't very expensive but we were done in 1.5 hrs. That makes it better on the little ones with short attention spans.
