I was a bit disappointed with the size of this aquarium for the price of the ticket and didn't feel that it was worth it. We walked through the entire aquarium in a couple hours and only stretched out our day there by doing a second walk through. They have a lot of touch tank options and interactive exhibits, the staff is very helpful and informative, and it was fun seeing the California sea lion show. I did wish it was less talking from the trainers and more exciting tricks from the sea lions. We also wish there was a 4D show option like the Maritime. The only reason we chose Mystic over Maritime was to see the Beluga whales! Parking is free and there are picnic tables around the aquarium to sit and have a lunch if you bring your own food!
We've been here three times in the last ten years, most recently last week. A quick report: our group included several older adults, and the noise and crowding from the many young children at the aquarium was upsetting, and we had to leave after only a one hour visit. Really, that was out fault: there's nothing unexpected with youngsters squealing and shouting and crying, but it was very bothersome to our little group. In the past we have visited in the fall when few school groups and large families were in attendance, and that was a much better choice. Please bear that in mind if planning a visit. And that said, please be assured the main gallery houses an engaging collection of sea life easily accessed, and the outdoor exhibits of penguins, sea lions, etc, are fun if less so in very hot weather. Also note admission can be pricey, over $50 per adult at certain summer dates. That seems too much to us.
It's always nice to come visit this aquarium. Tickets are about $40 ish for an adult. Depending on what days you visit the prices changes. The animals look happy and healthy and I love coming to see Juno. We notice there was some renovation happening is some of the area on this day. They had to move some of the sea lions. It was nice talking to the care takers of the animals. The aquarium can be walk through quickly but people should take their time reading about each animal. I haven't been here awhile but I see they are findings ways to make more money. I see there is arcade now and other activities for kids. I believe those activities an extra cost on top of the tickets.
We had a great time at Mystic Aquarium! We bought tickets online ahead of time and arrived before opening. There was already a line to get in, but once the doors opened it moved pretty quickly. The biggest slowdown was the photos being taken right at the entrance. There was so much to see throughout the aquarium. My son especially loved the jellyfish exhibit and the water play area -- he had so much fun there he refused to leave. They also have beluga whales and African penguins, which were fun to see up close and hear facts about from the docents. One of the highlights was definitely the sea lion show. It happens every couple of hours, and we caught it right before leaving which ended up being the perfect way to finish the day. A heads up that a large portion of the aquarium experience is outdoors, so we were very thankful the rain held off during our visit. Overall, a fun family outing with plenty to explore!
Great time at the aquarium @ I was shocked to see five beluga whales! They had seals and sea lions and sharks and an octopus. And of course they have plenty of other fish and penguins and other animals. They have plenty of educators all over and answered every question my Godson and I asked! They had plenty of feedings and a sea lion show. Great place to explore and learn!
My friend and I had a great time here! Highlights were for sure the beluga whales and the sea lion show. Special shout out to the jelly fish, so mesmerizing!! It was bloody hot when we went but I was grateful they had 2 water foundations one inside by the sharks and one outside by the belugas and penguins.
Mystic Aquarium is a genuinely well put together attraction that earns its reputation as one of the better aquariums in the Northeast. I found the layout moving between indoor and outdoor exhibits in a way that kept the visit feeling varied, and the whole place was clean and well organized throughout. Staff were present at each exhibit and knowledgeable enough to add real context to what I was looking at, which elevated the experience beyond just walking past tanks. The beluga whales are the centerpiece and the clear highlight of my visit. Watching them interact with staff during feeding held my attention in a way that a lot of aquarium exhibits simply do not. The reef tanks were colorful and lively, and the jellyfish exhibit was worth slowing down for even though I tend to move through these places quickly. The sea lion show was entertaining and well executed, though it moved at a fast pace that skewed toward younger kids. I enjoyed it, but it is worth calibrating expectations around what it is. Pricing is reasonable for what you get, and the annual pass makes strong financial sense if you are within driving distance and plan to return. Concession prices inside run high, so eating before you arrive or bringing snacks saves you money without taking anything away from the visit itself. A penguin encounter is available as an add on and worth looking into if you want something more memorable to build around. I planned for a few hours and had enough time to move through everything at a comfortable pace.
I love this aquarium!! I love sea life, especially sharks! They had a decent amount of stuff about sharks, and they had some nurse sharks, epaulette sharks, and some other white one i didn't know sadly. I pet a bunch of cow nose rays in the petting area apparently they really like me! I also got a shark plush and a shark ornament here, and i really wanted this national geographic shark book but i only had 39 dollars left and it was 22, therefore i wouldn't be able to buy my mom a birthday gift later. We watched the sea lion show, I didn't realize it was for little kids but it was still super fun! They definitely seemed like they take care of them very well because they had a lot of free range and allowed the sea lions to take breaks if they needed it! Anyways, loved the aquarium, come here for sure! Forgot to mention I came here twice, so that makes it even better!
Outdoor and Indoor aquarium, so dress appropriately. The bathroom in the jellyfish/turtle area isn't very accommodating for handicapped people so plan ahead and have someone help you. The arcade area needs to be paid by everyone even if you don't plan on doing anything we only pre purchased tickets for our boys. Very small venue but we enjoyed the sea turtle exhibit and learning about how they were rescued and cared for.
A life-long RI'er, I finally made the trek 'all the way' to Mystic to make my first appearance at the Aquarium. It was a fun time. The aquarium is a fun time, and although on the small side is well worth your time. A combination of inside/outside exhibits, the museum has speakers at a few of them telling you about the animals/mammals/fish. The sea lion show is the most campy, tongue-in-cheek, fun time I've had in a while. That alone was worth the price of admission. It was a good way to spend a mid-winter day.
I came to the aquarium with my family to take advantage of the healthcare promotion. With the promotion we paid $75 for 6 people and without the promotion, just to pay regular price would have been $129 for 4 adults and 2 toddlers. It's very overpriced and you go through the aquarium within 40 minutes. We purchased tickets a head of time but we still had to wait in the long line to get in. The aquarium was very crowded and it was hard to see all the animals without people blocking the view: I also wish they had some kind of system for the crowds walking through the aquarium, not to mention maybe having another lane for just strollers which took a lot of space.
The Mystic Aquarium is one of the best aquariums I have ever visited! It may not be the biggest, but the animal husbandry is exceptional and the volunteers are super knowledgeable. The work they do for our local marine life is unparalleled. This spot is fun for all ages! I prefer to go in the fall and winter to beat the crowds, but any time you go will be lots of fun! The admission price is a little hefty, so a membership is absolutely the most cost effective choice if you plan on visiting more than once. You should absolutely go into the ray touch-tank tent and spring for the food! The rays were SO active and engaged with us after a little shrimp snack. Pro-tip: always say yes to the entry photo; you get a digital copy for free and you can choose which background you want!
I came here during a family vacation and my whole family had fun. Although the aquarium felt a bit small, it had what we came for, an abundance of aquatic life. They had an amazing seal lion show that was interactive so the kids were not bored. We live in NYC so getting a membership wasn't exactly what we planned, but if you plan to come back more than once, a membership definitely would make sense. We ended getting one and came back 2x during our 3 day vacation to Mystic area. We went in August and the aquarium does get hot, but you just have to step inside and cool off. There's a nice gift shop at the end when you leave. Would definitely be coming back here in the near future.
We really enjoyed our experience at the Mystic Aquarium! The beluga whales were, as expected, absolutely majestic. There was a large variety of really cool things there, including the variety of seals, the ray touch pool (totally worth the feeding experience), the African penguins, and of course all of the fascinating fish. The facility itself was well maintained and clean - unfortunately the ticket printing machine at the ray touching pool was broken, which resulted in a ~15 minute delay in line, which kind of sucked. One thing that didn't sit quite right with me was the seal show. Maybe I was reading into it too much, but a lot of it felt like the seals were trained for our entertainment, and not in the name of conservation or animal welfare; the experience felt closer to SeaWorld than for the benefit of the animals. Overall a fan of the aquarium though, great experience. read more
I hadn't been to Mystic Aquarium since i was a kid, but my daughter's loves the song Baby Beluga, so we went to see the beluga whales. The Mystic Aquarium isn't as big as other aquariums, but it is the only one near me that has beluga whales. Most of the aquariums are in the main building. The outdoor exhibits include seals, sea lions, beluga whales, and a local marsh habitat with turtles and frogs. You can get through most of it in about an hour, so it $40 ticket price is kinda high for the time you spend. Still a fun outing for kids though. read more

Mystic Aquarium was founded in 1973 and it has approximately 10,000 animals and 300 species. There are sea lions, beluga whales, fish, sting rays, turtles, sharks, penguins, crabs, and more. There are tanks you can pet the animals. There are shows, exhibits, and encounters. For an additional fee, you can go into the dino seas exhibit. The parking lot was huge and we found parking fairly easy. The ticket prices are steep. I don't feel as bad paying that much because they do research and the rehabilitation of injured animals. My kids loved seeing all the animals and so did us adults. It's June so it was hot out and on a Saturday, so it was packed. We still had fun. They took pictures for us at the entrance, but we didn't like how it turned out lol. There was a food truck outside and they also have food and drink counters inside. There was even a playsape for the little ones. There were plenty of benches to relax at. The restrooms were clean and family friendly. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you have kids and love sea life. read more

Having visited other aquariums across the country, this place was a tad bit disappointing and overpriced. We completed all the attractions in less than two hours. Their only fame to claim are the beluga whales and the sea lion show. Though a relative underdog I personally loved the marsh trek. I have never seen so many lotuses in bloom and I spent a good 15 minutes enjoying the sight and searching for turtles basking on the lotus pads. The cafe was disappointing as well, the pizza seems to have been previously frozen and just reheated. It was ultra processed and inedible. read more
This is a great aquarium to take the kids. It is very expensive so purchase your tickets ahead of time, not the day of. The beluga whales are beautiful and the penguins are cute. The seal show is great as well, I highly recommend attending during their scheduled times. All the other aquatic animals and fish were unique and the layout of the aquarium is nice. It is a small place so you can spend half the day. Have fun! read more
I absolutely adore the Mystic Aquarium! Such a gem to be in the middle of Mystic Village. The only downside is that we spend HOURS at the aquarium so we are usually unable to walk around the village- that's how much this aquarium will captivate your toddler! Our favorite exhibit are the beluga whales. The tiny crawl spaces for toddlers to peer into windows are so fun! My daughter could literally spend hours watching them if we let her. Same thing for the penguins. Very toddler friendly! They have shows throughout the day which are fun for bigger kids. If your toddler is able to stay seated for 20 minutes then this would be good for you- ours cannot haha. We also love the tanks with fish (including Nemo and dory for those toddlers who love finding Nemo), jellyfish, stingrays, sharks, and sea lions. We love the walk to the penguins and the marsh inbetween. The play area with different sea creatures is also a fun time for toddlers. Overall if you have young children I would totally opt for coming it is so fun and your child will have a blast! Already been twice this season and will definitely be back! read more

Been coming here for decades and absolutely love the place! Lots of hands-on activities, everything up close, and small enough to navigate in just a few hours! This time, for the first time, found the place a bit rundown/unkept, not at all like it has been in the past with lots of smudges and handprints blocking views of tanks as well as debris left around (bathrooms included). Can only believe they were overwhelmed with holiday weekend visitors and could not keep up because this is not typical at all. Hope they plan better for busier times with more staff to keep it the beautiful place it is! Takes little away from the aquarium experience itself, which is wonderful and highly recommended! read more

Came for labor day weekend with my kids, boy was it crowded. Haven't brought them in a while. Would have took longer exploring if the crowdedness didn't make me a bit anxious. The penguin pavilion was a hit, the baby penguins were so cute splashing around. It was nice seeing my grown son smile. We ended the day with a visit to the village next door. I feel like I want to make it a tradition and do this at least once a year. read more

It has been far too long since I've made a visit to the Aquarium but what a lovely and pleasant surprise especially since now I travel with my service dog who seemed to have enjoyed it as much as I did. Don't miss the opportunity to feed the rays, it was magical! read more
The Mystic Aquarium is a great spot to take the family. But it is getting so expensive for the size of the aquarium. You can walk through it in 30-40 mins, and a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child) cost $121. Pretty crazy sticker shock on the price. read more
I had a great time coming to mystic aquarium. To start i got to see the baluga whales. It was my first time actually seeing them. They have such a innocent happy look on their faces. It was almost feeding time for them when we arrived. The staff was going to do a show for everyone to watch but we decided to keep exploring. We went inside to the underground where we can see inside the tanks. And saw jelly fish, sharks, sting rays, seals, crabs etc. It was really nice. They have stations where you can touch some of the animals! I personally didn't want to touch any but the option is there. I would visit again and stick around for a show or two next time around. read more

What a lovely aquarium! I love the way they set up their floor plan, with a large atrium and lots of outdoor space. The beluga whales are truly a sight to behold! I had never seen them in person and was very much awed but their size, their presence, and their obvious intelligence. I can't speak to the size of their tank and if it is humane, but they seem well cared for and in good overall health. Similar to this there is also a sea lion show. I had been a bit concerned about how ethical it was, but ultimately the sea lions are only performing simple tasks you would be able to teach a family dog, and so I can safely say I endorse this aquarium based on what I saw during my visit. Their exhibits are nicely laid out and easy to navigate, and they showcase a wide variety of biomes. Obviously kids will love it, but I think most adults will learn a thing or two as well. I enjoyed my time here, and I think if you go on a day that isn't super crowded you will have a lot of fun. read more
Enjoyed our visit to the aquarium today. The Beluga Whale exhibit was amazing. One of the best I have seen. The main gallery was very well laid out and nice displays. Only disappointed that the penguin exhibit was closed. Employees were very friendly and answered questions. They seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. I would highly recommend you to plan to visit here. read more
For most of my adult life, I've been told how awesome the Mystic Aquarium is & how I need to go see it. I never went as a child (even though I grew up only 1.5 hours away) so I was looking forward to visiting as an adult. I love that they have beluga whales! That's so neat and not something you see at every aquarium. They also have a great seal lion show. I only talked to a few of the aquarium workers but they were very knowledgeable. They also have quite a few touch tanks in the indoor area which my toddler was excited about. We didn't bother going to try any of the food/concessions. The gift shop was pretty good though. I liked the large selection of books but the day I went, there were large camp groups so it was crowded and I didn't get to see some of the other items. The cashiers were nice. Overall, it was a decent aquarium to visit if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way (unless you really like beluga whales). If you've read this far- you can bring drinks in which is nice. I was able to come with my Starbucks that I got across the street. And if it's a busy day, don't bother circling the main parking lot - they don't have stop signs so people don't navigate it well. Just park in "additional parking", it's not a far walk. read more

I'm almost in my 40's. Been coming here forever. My three children and I took a break from this aquarium because not much has changed as the education part is the same. Price is a heavy ticket for a family. They don't accept cash but have no problem taking your cash in the gift shop for that perfect thirty dollar plushy! Place needs a ton of work. My oldest daughter has been recovering from a broken tibia and tripped in a missing chunk of concrete near the beluga enclosure. (see photos attached) Pitty they take so much money from our community. Yet they can't repair what's heavily damaged and the education part has been the same script...Monday-Friday.... Business hours. Seems more corporate than anything. Sad to see this place spiral out of control. read more

Came here for the first time last summer and loved it! No wait to get in, and the staff were amazing--super friendly and made the visit even better. We walked through the whole aquarium and enjoyed every part of it. Sadly, we didn't have time to see one of the shows, but we did try out the virtual reality experience they offer (about $5-10 extra). It was such a cool add-on and I highly recommend it. Great spot for all ages and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Great aquarium for take my kids too it does get crazy packed so just keep a close eye and keep everyone in your group near. Parking is a bit tough but we waited it out and had a great time. Our favorite part was the sea lion show very unique and stole our hearts. Food was pricey as all aquariums so we packed our own snacks which was allowed! read more

This was a nice aquarium! They had more sea life like penguins and sea lions than fish, but still a lot of cool things to see. Good value for the price, and was very empty in the winter. All of the volunteers took time to tell us neat things about their sea life they tend to, and were very friendly. The sea lion show was cute too! read more

I highly recommend checking out Mystic Aquarium. Prices are lower if you purchase tickets in advance than on the day of visit. The online system is easy to use, but there are also kiosks at Mystic Aquarium to purchase your tickets. Mystic Aquarium has plenty of parking and it is free. It is right next to Olde Mistick Village. They have a huge variety of animals and exhibits, but beluga whales caught my attention. They are interesting animals and I could watch them all day. We spent a few hours exploring the whole aquarium and saw a sea lion show. read more

Ask the Community - Mystic Aquarium
Do any outside exhibits close after November for winter?
Some exhibits are still open during the winter especially in November since it's really not that cold yet. I believe January/February would be the time of year for an animal to be off exhibit because of weather. You can most definitely call ahead on…
Is there a student discount?
Not sure but I know there's discounted or free admission for those with EBT cards.…
How long does it take to go through the aquarium?
That depends on the weather and how many people are with you, if you stop to see a show, take time to look through the gift shop, grab lunch, etc. There are things to see both indoors and outdoors but even if you stop to linger at each exhibit, I…
Would it be fine to go if it's raining?
It's fine to go if it's raining but I recommend going in nice weather because there is plenty to see outdoors as well. We went on a very rainy day and although we were still able to walk around outside, it was not ideal.
How much is it to get in?
Adults $36.99 Children $26.99. There are some features like the 4D movie that costs extra. I think there's a slight discount if you buy the tickets online too.
How long does it take to go threw the aquarium? Sorry another question how much does it cost to see the sea lions or is it part of the admission?
About 1 hour inside, 30 mins outside
