Parakeets

Loved this place! Small but mighty. I enjoyed feeding the sting rays and tortoise. They also have those fish that swarm your hand and suck/nibble? It was freaky but cool. Entry is valid all day so it's definitely worth your money.

My daughter and grandkids live in Spokane and will be coming back since they got an annual pass.

We were visiting the grandkids for the holidays. We wanted to do kids activities with them. I found that Groupon had a discount for admission amd since we had 7 adults and 2 children any discount we can get helps. This place is located in the Northtown Mall, just past Buffalo Wild Wings. We arrived at around 2:45pm. I saw that they were going to have a pirate and mermaid show on at 5p. I thought we were there way too early but we were told that we can come and go all day so if we wanted a break for lunch or dinner in the mall we could leave and come back. We decided to play it by ear. This place isn't big but the cool things was the sting ray area, the birds cage where you go in and they fly around you or buy a token to feed them which we did and was very cool. The kids played on the pirate ship and water games. They had plenty of employees there being very helpful and friendly with everyone. Before we knew it it was 5p and time for the pirate and mermaid to make an appearance. The pirate walked around and interacted with the kids. The mermaid entered the water tank that had some baby sharks. She was just lovely and interacted with the kids. My granddaughter was in awe of her. We ended up upgrading our ticket to an annual pass. The only negative is there were a few empty tanks and the restrooms are out in the mall.

Feeding the birds

The aquarium was fun. It's pretty small for the price. We fed the stingrays twice and the birds. We enjoyed the birds the most. The stingrays are really cool and allow you to pet them. The staff was very friendly to us and was very knowledgeable of the animals.

An aquarium in a mall? What a great idea! The aquarium is close to the kids play area and you can get an annual pass to include a walk-through as a routine get out of the house event. The aquarium was well staffed with friendly and helpful people. The Facility was clean and the tanks were well-kept. If you are a water person this is the place to be. The decor is very nautical and there are even mermaids. The gift shop caused me to pause and there are some great items there for kids of all ages. Inside the aquarium zoo there are opportunities for toddlers to get their hands wet at the water table and also the opportunity to pet rays. There is a pirate ship to climb on and take great selfie's andDon't miss the opportunity to have fish chew on your fingers. We Truly enjoyed the spot and it is a great healthy way to spend an hour.

Business event advertisement

Terrible experience. Used to come here when they first opened with my kids and had great experiences. Came to the "event" today for the first time in ~3yrs. The event was advertised as being from 3:30-5, we arrived at 4pm and there *was* no event. No mermaids, no pirates, no activities, no ice cream, they weren't even taking things down. False advertising?? Then half the tanks were empty, and the ones that did have fish, the glass was so dirty you could barely see in. The bird room had a 30min wait and then when you got in you were not allowed to touch the birds/have them land on you/feed them anymore, you have to sit and watch from across the room. Spent $38 to get in for one adult & my 6yo, and we were both very disappointed. Do *not* recommend. Sad as there is honestly very little to do with kids here in Spokane and this is now out.

We took the kids here this last weekend. I had been hearing how cool it was and well there isn't much to do around here especially in the winter so we decided to give it a try. When you first walk in your in a gift shop, I honestly didnt look around much because I already knew we would be spending a ton of money just to get in at $16 per adult 14 and up and $13 per kid 13 and younger and $5 a token to feed animals In total we spend about $119 to get in two adults, one 17 YO One 15 YO one 13 YO and a 9 YO and 4 feed tokens. Way spendy. When you first walk into the aquarium your in a darker room with several cool tanks filled with different varieties of fish. It was pretty cool and the tanks seemed clean and all the fish seemed well I know I read several comments where people said the tanks were dirty and there were dead fish that was not the case when we went there. The next area we went to was the stingray pond which had to be our favorite part of all we spent the majority of our time at this pond. You can pet them and feed them if you purchase the $10 tokens my suggestion is that you don't since they get feed so much that they are not interested in eating so it is a waste of money. We went to the birds next and had to sit in line for about 20 min and normally I wouldn't have but my 17 YO really wanted to use her feed token to feed the birds. It is always our favorite thing to do at any zoo or aquarium we visit. When it was finally our turn to go in we were informed that the birds were taking a break from eating which was disappointing especially after waiting for 20 min. The only birds in the bird area are parakeets and they weren't very friendly. We didnt spend much time in the bird area because it wasn't fun at all. Next, we went to the reptile area which was pretty cool, there are only 4 exhibits in there but you can pet the turtles and normally feed them but of course, they were out of turtle food which again was disappointing since that is what my sons wanted to feed. There is a play structure in the center and an interactive water play area that is actually kind of annoying since it is right where you wait in line to go in the aviary and we were pretty wet from standing next to it for 20 min. The shark tank was pretty murky but still kinda cool. Overall we spent over $100 to get in which was pretty spendy for a glorified playroom with aquariums. The staff wasn't much help at all, in fact, they all seemed to be teenagers. It is pretty crowded all the time and since it is pretty much a playroom not all the kids are not very well supervised, we got splashed with water, hit with balls and ran into several times. ALSO do not get the tokens they are a big waste of money we ended up having to feed the stingrays since it was the only option and as I said earlier they don't want to eat because they get fed so much. This is a one-time visit place only, in my opinion, You go once to check it out and never return again because it is not worth the price.

See all

The staff were very educational and encouraging to have fun but most importantly be safe with the animals. Will return with more nanny kids!

My 4 and 2 year old loved to see the fish tanks, touch the sting rays and play in the interactive water table.
