- Alyssa CatozziFebruary 27, 2014AMAZING. So many beautiful creatures to see & even some you can touch! Guides are educated in answering questions about the habitat life. Really enjoy coming here every time.
- JK GrenceAugust 19, 2011It's on the Strip, but it's easily overlooked due to its location in the back of Mandalay Bay. Great spot to relax and unwind. The jellyfish tank and the Shipwreck exhibit are especially mesmerizing.
- Sav PNovember 4, 2023Kirsten and Emma were really amazing and friendly. Super knowledgeable and nice! Definitely a reason to visit, besides all of the cool animals.
- Corey Watts-JonesMay 11, 2018A good little diversion at the Mandalay. It only needs about half an hour of your time.

- Otel.comSeptember 19, 2013If you are interested in the marine life, these big and small fish and other reptiles are waiting for you. There are more than 1 million gallons of water and thousands of fish species here.
- Khrystal K. DavisMarch 13, 2016I took my toddler, and she had a great time looking in the aquariums. It's not a huge aquarium, but it's still pretty impressive.
- Otel.comJanuary 3, 2012This Mandalay Bay attraction is where you'll find sharks, rays, reptiles, and marine invertebrates—there are more than 2,000 of them. Open 10-8pm Sun-Thurs, 10-10pm, Friday to Saturday.
- Brett R.June 1, 2018Fun, with small to medium sharks (not too big for the tanks). Unspectacular but worth seeing once every few years.
- VEGAS.comNovember 9, 2012The Shark Reef features more than 1,200 species of marine life including sharks, exotic fresh and saltwater fish, a 300-pound sea turtle and much more.
- KellyDecember 28, 2013Been coming here since it opened! Great to see how the sharks have grown! Ask a lot of questions, the guides here know so much great info.
- Erin SnyderNovember 24, 2012Kind of a long walk (were at the MGM) but well worth it! There is a free train from Excalibur to Mandalay, take it if u wanna save yourself blisters!
- Jeff WilsonFebruary 3, 2015I was skeptical to come to this place. My 2 year old daughter loved it so I loved it. Great job Mandalay.
- Gina B.November 11, 2013Kids love it... Especially the sting ray petting area! Don't rush through the exhibit
- Julia SeamanFebruary 7, 2016It's small (45 minutes to walk through) and can be mobbed with running children. We went as it opened which so mostly empty and no lines
- Brian IbarraApril 27, 2015Not very large but very informative and so much cool stuff inside! For the kids it's perfect and they support wildlife finds also
- Tinu Abayomi-PaulJanuary 28, 2012Make sure your phone and camera are charged, and that you have a flash even if you come during the day. The best shots start at the tunnels so pace yourself.
- Daisy ToledoJuly 7, 2013Simply beautiful. I'm very happy we got to experience it. The shipwreck area was amazing.
- Jason KellerJuly 16, 2014Its neat to see but get your tickets at a discounted rate like we did. It did not look worth the $19 adult price. Neat but for a family too much.
- JenniferApril 4, 2012Go there mad early to get tickets or elsewhere because the wait in line makes you want to cry. Line can end past the wedding photo place :'(
- Stephen ThomasJanuary 8, 2013Buy the season pass. That way if the exhibit is crowded you can just cruise on through and come back a little later
- KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatMarch 29, 2015Not bad for an aquarium in the middle of the desert! It's really humid inside, so style your hair accordingly.
- Marie MyersSeptember 29, 2011Well worth the experience. You can pet sting rays if you wish. And be ready for that infamous green screen, don't wear green.
- Las Vegas MannequinsSeptember 4, 2011Sharks can go thru thousands of teeth in their lifetime. Some sharks have over 3,000 teeth in their mouths and may lose over 50,000 teeth during their lifetime.
- Carla JeanMarch 2, 2012The Shark Reef Set Up Is All Ancient Ruins & Sunken Ship Habit For The Marine Life!! I LOVE IT!!!! =D
- If you get an annual pass, you can bypass the long line and go straight to the VIP line everytime you go. I love it!!
- Brian ScottSeptember 10, 2013Super small aquarium. Only $18 to get in, but you'll be through it in like 30 mins. Cool setup, just not a lot to it
- Las Vegas MannequinsSeptember 4, 2011Did you know that the main shark tank of the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef holds approximately 1.3 million gallons of water.
- Tinu Abayomi-PaulJanuary 28, 2012Get your tickets in advance at a place where they actually give you a ticket so you can avoid the line.
- Las Vegas MannequinsSeptember 4, 2011The heaviest animal in the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef is the Green Sea Turtle, which weighs between 300 and 315 pounds.
- Robin ShawAugust 21, 2013Don't pay for this, use your comps, it's over priced & packed with tourists who make this 20 min walk through aquarium take an hour. The shark portion is awesome, ill give you that but no worth $
- CANDY @digital_sweetJanuary 1, 2014If you have your OWD license you can swim in the biggest tank with sharks.
- Renee ManningApril 30, 2013Check out the ray petting tank. One of them is a great friendly show off. We made eye contact for minutes!
- Orlando SalvatoreAugust 16, 2011Pretty cool exhibit. Make sure you spend some time checking out the piranhas and of course the sharks!!!
