Aquarium of Niagara Reviews

I really enjoyed our visit!!! The aquarium isn’t massive or anything, but it was definitely bigger than I expected and there was way more to see than I thought!!! It was easy to walk around, didn’t feel rushed at all, and made for a really nice couple of hours!!!

Stopped in for a quick look and it was such a cute little shop. They had some really nice stuff, and the kids immediately went for the plushies... they loved them. We didn’t stay too long, but it was a sweet little find

We booked the penguin encounter it was really cute, really cute. The staff clearly knew what they were doing and were happy to let us take photos, which was great. My only thing is that it felt a little rushed for the price. I just wish we’d had a bit more time. Still, it was a fun visit overall and I’d give it 4 stars

I didn’t really come away feeling like I learned much. I’ve taken a few similar courses before, and compared to those, this one felt basic and a bit scattered. It might be okay for someone brand new to the topic, but it didn’t offer much new for me.

We went on a weekend and overall it was a nice place to check out, but it did get crowded. Some of the tanks had people gathered in front for a while, so it was hard to really take your time and enjoy everything.

The staff seemed friendly and the place was clean, which I appreciated. I just wish the layout handled big crowds a little better. I’d probably try going on a weekday next time

I tried buying tickets on the site it was kind of a hassle. The pages were loading slowly, and the checkout process wasn’t very clear, which made me feel a bit pressured because I was worried the tickets might sell out while I was trying to figure it out. I did end up getting them eventually, but the whole thing felt more stressful than it needed to be.

I used the site while planning a visit, it was straightforward for the most part. The text was easy to read, the menus did what I expected, and I found the hours and ticket info without feeling like I had to click around forever, which I really appreciated.

I’m giving it 4 stars because a few pages felt a little cramped on my phone, and I feel like some of the images could’ve used better descriptions, if that makes sense. Maybe I’m just being picky, but those small things stood out to me. Overall though, it was still a decent experience

A few of the animals were cool to see, but some of the exhibits just felt small and kind of sad. The place was okay if you’re only stopping by for a little while, but I expected better viewing areas and more care put into the setup. I left feeling like I’d wasted more energy walking around than the visit was worth

The staff was friendly and all that, but the visit itself just felt kind of average. Nothing really stood out too much, just one of those okay experiences

The place just didn’t feel very clean when I went. Maybe I showed up right after a rush or caught them at a bad time, but it was still disappointing.

It was fine, just not really worth what we paid. We got through it quickly and both felt like it should’ve been cheaper. Nice place overall, but I wouldn’t say it’s great value.

The kids had such a great time watching the sea lions! They were laughing and totally into it the whole time. If this show is anything to go by, it seems like a great spot for families with young kids.

Went here with my family and the kids had a blast. The website was easy enough to use to check hours and prices before we headed out, which was nice. The aquarium isn’t massive or anything, but it was perfect for a relaxed little visit, and the kids stayed entertained the whole time. Staff were super nice too. I’m giving it 4 stars because I do wish there was a bit more info online about parking and what to expect when you get there

The aquarium itself was nice and we had a good time, but I’ll admit the parking made me a little anxious at first. I kind of expected it to be more straightforward, and it took us a bit of circling before we found a spot that felt close enough. The signs weren’t super clear either, so I kept wondering if we were even heading the right way. It wasn’t a huge deal in the end, and everything worked out, but with kids in the car it felt more frustrating than it probably needed to. I’d still go back for sure, I’d just give myself extra time for parking next time so I’m not worrying about it

I left feeling sad. A few of the tanks seemed kind of small, and some of the animals looked like they didn’t have much to do. Maybe that’s just how the aquariums are, I’m not sure, but it didn’t sit right with me. I don’t think I’d go back unless they show a more clear effort toward the better animal welfare.
