Great expierence! Wonderful donation to our event! Truly appreciated! Wonderful care of all animal life!

Super cool building with the giant octopus. Excellent aquarium! Great variety of marine life to check out. The place is well kept, all the aquatic life looked very healthy. Throughly enjoyed it and so did everyone in my group. I totally recommend visiting when in the Branson area and even making the drive if visiting the Springfield area. Also, I recommend being the "fiver" pass. That's good for the aquarium, the wax museum, the hall of mirrors, the castle of chaos, and the mini golf course. read more

This was an expensive drop - though I would also say it was an interesting stop. They have quite a few fish and oceanic creatures to enjoy in the tanks and they offer a virtual experience (extra price) for purchase. Overall it was enjoyable - yet quite expensive for a moderate amount of exhibits and sea creatures/fish. We have not gone back since 2020 (we were there in Nov 2020). read more

Aquarium At The Boardwalk - Aquariums Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This place was pretty cool, but mostly geared towards kids and families. It's also a pretty short walk through. You can easily walk through the whole thing in like 30 minutes. The highlight of this place is definitely the underwater tunnel. It felt like I could reach out and grab the sea creatures! One thing that I thought was weird is that the tour starts off forcing you to take pictures with the aquarium mascot, which is something I've never quite experienced before. Hint hint: get your tickets in the evening hours because they are cheaper than the daylight hours are read more

Family and I decided to visit this aquarium over the weekend while we were celebrating the first weekend of summer. When you walk in, they scan your tickets and then have you take a picture with the giant octopus. Next, they give you some 3-D glasses and have you watch a 4-D introductory video. It was cute and fun to feel the vibrations and wind. The actual aquarium is actually smaller than other aquariums and can take you less than 30 minutes to walk through. While we were at the gift shop, another member of the group and I decided to check out our group photo. We followed all the directions from the signs and waited for an employee to come over to the counter. However, what we didn't expect was the employee (longer blonde hair, maybe 16-17 years old) to walk another group over and then proceed to tell us that she wasn't going to help us because we didn't follow directions. When I asked what directions we didn't follow, she pointed to the sign and said that we went into the wrong entrance. When I told her that we did go through that entrance and had been waiting to be helped, she proceeded to continue to be rude to us and directed her attention to the other group. We ended up leaving without seeing what our group photo looked like. Overall, this aquarium is just okay and probably won't be returning next time I am in Missouri. read more

Not only did my kids have a blast (2yo and 5yo boys) but I was in awe of all the fish as well. My oldest got to pet a shark, stingray and sea star which he loved. So many tunnels where the fishe get up close to your face. They also have a super fun play structure. I would skip the "ride" though, not worth waiting in line. read more

Thought this would be a hokey tourist trap - wrong! Had the best time with my 2 year old grandson. Around every corner there was a new adventure..... The 4D movie experience, kelp play structure, petting stingrays, ocean tunnel and more. Definitely worth the drive & money. read more

The Aquarium was fun! We went on Labor Day right around 10:30. The tickets are 35.99 (adults) for just the aquarium. All the different interactive spaces were great. My family was really into finding all the octopuses. Too many cool spots to name them all. read more

We really enjoyed this aquarium. It was not too crowded, and it was very kid friendly. I was a little confused as someone not from Branson, and I realized it was a fake "boardwalk". I really loved the tunnel, and the jelly fish mirror room! I personally could have stayed longer but the 2 year old wasn't enjoying the darker rooms "scary" was her review. I bet you could stay about 2.5 hours for a longer experience, or make it out in an hour if you were in a rush. read more

Aquarium At The Boardwalk - Aquariums Near Me - Branson, Missouri

The aquarium itself is cute. It's very small and not a whole lot of room for exploring. Expensive for the little amount you do get to see and walk through. Probably not something I would go do again, but cool to see at least once. read more

A wonderful experience one of the best aquariums I've been to. 80 bucks for 2 people is my only gripe but it was a fun experience. read more

I wasn't expecting to like the aquarium. You've seen one you've seen them all right...... Well me and the kiddos actually enjoyed it. They have a few interactive things for you to do to keep you engaged outside of sightseeing the fish. Even my pre-teen enjoyed it so it's definitely worth the visit. read more

Wow this aquarium was so cool! It has a 5D ride upon entry and this amazing jellyfish room. I don't even know how to explain what a dream this jellyfish exhibit was. I could have stayed in here for hours. This place was so cool with really fun things to do and see. We loved it here! At the end the kids can get a free ice cream with their scavenger hunt sheets, from this cool place called spoons that sits right out front. read more

Aquarium At The Boardwalk - A climbing area for kids - Aquariums Near Me - Branson, Missouri

Wow oh wow is what I can say about the Aquarium At The Boardwalk. This is a MUST DO! In Branson. Even if you are not an aquarium person you will enjoy your visit. We have gone to a plethora of aquariums in our adventures and I consider this aquariums in the top 3, below Atlanta and Boston. There are lots of beautiful and wonderful fish here of all colors and sizes. The standouts are the bloom room, very cool. The giant aquarium, the sea horses, pinecone fish and flashing fish.really everything is pretty cool. The people who work here are very helpful as well. For pricing I strongly suggest doing the package deal of 4 other places. You'll see what I'm talking about when you visit or online. Yes this is going to cost $$ but hey you are in Branson everything is a bit pricey Overall we had a fantastic time, and when we come back to Branson in the future we will definitely visit. Well worth it! read more

We had an amazing day at the Branson Aquarium! Admission was about $40 per person, or $38 for seniors, which is pretty standard for aquariums. It was well worth the price of admission, they have plenty of tanks of interesting and beautiful fish. I wish that there was more information about each tank and that they had more local, freshwater species. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with the exhibits and also the AC on a hot summer day :). read more

If you have little kids, this place is perfect for killing at least an hour of time! It's not too big so they're interested the whole time with lots of different activities. It was almost like a mix of a small children's museum and an aquarium. If you're an adult that frequently visits aquariums, you might be a little underwhelmed by the size. Overall though our group did have a really fun time, so it just depends what you're looking for! Awesome for kids. read more

Didn't know what to expect in Missouri, but the aquarium was nice. I do wish the walkthrough was longer, and it felt a bit expensive for how short it was. That said, all of the exhibits were set up beautifully and very visually appealing, with a nice variety of fish. Most of the staff had great, interactive energy, and the petting area had knowledgeable staff who were helpful and engaging. The jellyfish room was a highlight, and the submarine ride was a cute addition. Overall, I'd recommend visiting if you're in Missouri. read more

Very cool spot. A bit pricey, but considering the design and complexity of maintaining the aquariums, understandable. A great place!

The kids had a great time and it was a beautiful aquarium. I felt it was way to small and overpriced for an aquarium this size. $130? I would have skipped this and done a show or specifically new in Branson vs an aquarium you can go to anywhere. read more

Aquarium At The Boardwalk - One of many beautiful and colorful exhibits - Aquariums Near Me - Branson, Missouri

So cool. Great variety of animals. Touch pool for sharks and rays. Walk thru tubes. Worth the cost.

I was really impressed with this smaller aquarium! It is very well done, my grandkids loved it. Starts with a 3D video that sets the tone and then you move through the observation areas where kids can crawl into bubbles for an up close and personal look! Very interactive, I am sure that they will want to return! read more

Small- we paid almost $60 for me and a 6yr old and with taking our time still done in an hour. My thought when I left was wow; I wish I could make $60 an hour!!! The lady who checked us in gave my son a little trinket for his birthday; that was nice. What they had for an aquarium was laid out nicely. Although the jellyfish area really messed with my senses and had me rubbing my eyes just dazed. I had to get out of that area quickly. read more

How nice and helpful Alex was. They were quick to answer questions. They helped our fundraiser by donating tickets for our auction. Thank you Aquarium at the Boardwalk for your support of our mission! read more

This amazed me! We didn't think it was going to be anything special. We were here with 1 1/2 yr grandson, so why not give it a visit. From beginning to end , super clean and nice. The only thing negative to say is in mirror maze, some areas had cracked glass. This could be bad if parents not watching close. It's not super big and only took us an hour to go through. Prices not cheap but they have put alot of money into it. We really enjoyed and after this we will return every year we visit! read more

Had my doubts. I mean an aquarium in Branson? Ok, I was wrong. Buy your tickets online. There are entry times which I'm sure are to keep it from being too crowded which makes sense as it's not a wide-open space, but niches of different things to see and do. There were 6 of us Senior Citizens in October it was a little over $200 for us and that was with a Neighbors discount. Seriously, buy your tickets online. They have all kinds of discounts. Neighbors discount was that we lived in a neighboring state. It was off season so not crowded at 3pm in the afternoon on a Friday. There's a photo op for your group at the beginning. Staff take 3 pictures of you under the giant Octopus. A regular, a surprised and a silly. You can buy those when you leave. They also have a submarine adventure, but that was an additional cost. Beautiful displays of fish in large aquariums. The fish, etc. was well labeled with a picture and about the species. I have been to several large and small aquariums, and they had species I had never seen before. There was a mermaid room a shipwreck room. A tunnel through a tank with fish on the sides and overhead. An opportunity to touch stingrays (you have to wash your hands before you touch and after you touch). One of my favorite rooms was the jelly fish room. Tubes of jelly fish in a very low light room floating up and down. Beautiful and very calming. There is a gift shop at the end. I'm sure during the summers and school there may be a lot of kids so take that into consideration if you go. It was fun, we all enjoyed it even the grumpier ones of our group. We stayed about 1 1/2 hours so how long it takes depends on how you take your self around. I don't know how long the submarine adventure takes so if you do that plan accordingly. Seriously, buy your tickets online. read more

Nice place, but smaller and a little pricey. The displays they had were extremely well done and everything was very clean, and it was clear the animals were well cared for. The touch pools were awesome, they had several creatures including starfish and anemones, which was something I didn't expect. read more

It was our first time visit to the aquarium. I was excited because I have read so many post on Facebook that were not good, we were skeptical as to rather it was worth it. Let me tell you we were delighted with it. Neither of us have wanted to go see the one at Bass Pro because it is so big. But Branson aquarium was perfect. You can see it in very little time or you can spend longer if you want. We will definitely be going back and taking family and friends. read more

2nd time we have been here and I absolutely love the Aquarium, I rate it 2nd behind Zoo's for my favorite things ever. This is worth going to and taking your kids. read more

So much Fun even as an adult !! Interactive atmosphere and just joy all around !! The best experience!!

The building itself is beautiful and the time put into all the details of the layout is very nice, but quite honestly the aquarium itself is small and not much to view. The have an interactive 3 minute ride that depicts you being taken under the ocean in an adventure, which i enjoyed. After that it's pretty much over after viewing the jellyfish tubes & stingray exhibit. Most staff is not talkative or seeming like they are really that happy to be there, but the worker taking the photos was very hype! After the exiting of the aquarium you can stop on the boardwalk for yummy cheap ice cream while enjoying and listening to the water light show that follows along to the rhythm of a song!! read more

Our teenagers put their phones away for this one! That in itself makes going here totally worth it! ;) But seriously, the whole place was a lot larger than I thought it would be, there were interactive activities, and so much to look at. The various aquariums are large and in some cases sort of surround the observer. You really feel like you're in there! There's an area where you can pet stingrays, small sharks, and sea stars. About halfway through the place, there's a tall climbing area, perfect for kids who need a little climbing break. There's a whole room for jellyfish, which looks really cool. The whole place is really nicely laid out, with plenty of fish to see, things to do, and of course a gift shop at the exit. read more
