I took my partner here for them to do the VIP package behind the scenes with sharks and it was fantastic!! The tickets were evenly priced , the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable. Mall was awesome so shout out to her for such a great experience and you can tell she really loves her job AND the animals . The exhibits were clean, well maintained and the animals were all healthy and visible. I got to learn and see so many sea creatures that I wouldn't normally had I not gone here. I can tell the staff love what they do. This was also a decent place for kids and it didn't even bother me that they were there. The food and gift shop were decently priced but of course it's where they make money to take care of the animals so we did spend some coins . Overall 10/10 experience and I would definitely go again if they add another exhibit.

When I went back to the store they refused to offer a refund or even an exchange claiming their policy states no refund or exchange even if it's 24 hours later, which is ridiculous. Take your business to a store that values its customers and stands behind what they sell. Save your time, money, and frustration.

Not worth full admission but if you purchase the bubble Planet, they give you a generous discount. However Bubble Planet is only there for a few more weeks.

My kids really loved this aquarium that we came here 3 consecutive days. They have a butterfly…read moreexhibit that had abundant amount of butterflies. You aren't allowed to touch them but if they land on you, you just enjoy that blessing and time with the butterfly that landed on you. All of the staff there are well-trained, welcoming, and friendly with both my kids. You have the option to upgrade your regular admission to a one year membership after your visit. To save yourself from a 3.5% surcharge if you use credit, you'll want to pay in cash. Breakeven for my membership was about 3 visits and we did just that for the 4 days we were in Riverhead. My kids loved it so much that they are already asking to go back. The aquarium is well kept and the sharks are HUGE!! They are definitely well fed. The aquarium is Atlantis themed and you can tell a lot of time, money, and detail went into the making of this aquarium. The aquarium is privately owned and you do see sponsorship (advertisement) from private companies. I am comparing my experience with the NY aquarium in Brooklyn, which I have visited countless times. The Long Island Aquarium blows the NY aquarium away in every way possible. It's new, ventilation indoors is amazing, the sea lion show has shade, the penguins can be seen up close, there's an inexpensive option to snorkel, theres a big tree house, etc. I would totally recommend coming here with your family. If you come on weekdays, there might be a lot of school kids, and if you want to avoid that, you probably should should come around 1 or 2pm. Highly recommend this aquarium.

You are free during your birthday week however the tickets are costly for everyone else. There is a first responder discount which helped a little. The one thing is that we didn't factor in field trips. When we went the whole middle school of Northport was there and it was so loud and rowdy. Of course, they are kids but it seemed that this was way overbooked in field trips. My daughter and us as a family really couldn't enjoy the aquarium due to the crowd and rowdiness on a weekday... There were also limited outdoor exhibits. I felt that we weren't there for long due to the crowd and lack of exhibits. Definitely don't recommend the trip out there.

It's not a bad aquarium. Most of the exhibits are wonderfully designed and well maintained. My only…read moregripe was the sea lion exhibit, which is pretty small. The sea lions swim in the same pattern on an endless loop. It's not the type of aquarium that is focused on conservation efforts like Sea Life .(@ American dream mall, totally recommend the behind-the-scenes pass) The touch tank creatures are wild caught from NJ, not rescues like Sea Life. I understand and value the education purpose behind displaying these animals, but I really don't think it's good to take animals from the wild that don't need to be rehabilitated. Again...It's an attraction meant to gain profits like every other thing down the shore. It's not a fault of the workers at all, who are very educated and clearly love their jobs. They also have some other animals there like birds and monkeys. I can't speak on the suitability of their enclosures. Overall, it's a great experience if you can look past the small issues. I myself am an avid ocean and marine life lover, so it's hard to not feel guilty about these wonderful creatures being kept in captivity. If you have kids or are just looking for something to do down the shore on a rainy day, this is the place!

It was our first time visiting, and it's such a cute place to spend the day. The aquarium itself was nice, but it was much smaller than I expected. I had read online that most people spend 1-2 hours there, but we were able to see everything in about 45 minutes. Because of its size, I wouldn't recommend making a special trip just for the aquarium. However, if you're already planning to spend the day on the boardwalk or enjoy the other attractions, it's a worthwhile stop. One thing I really appreciated was that they allow re-entry. We were able to leave, grab something to eat, and come back in time to watch the shark feeding, which was a nice perk. Overall, it's a pleasant little aquarium, but I expected more.

We had prepaid tickets and spent quite a while on hold trying to find an open route before finally making it. The aquarium is very clean and has a great variety of animals, but it was surprisingly crowded for a Monday. We had to wait just to see many of the exhibits, and admission is a bit pricey. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would come back, but be prepared for big crowds and check road conditions if there's heavy rain.

Parking is easy - $10 for the whole day (and the waterfront is really lovely to walk along, and only a short walk from there to the USS New Jersey battleship). Lines move along quickly to get us in and they took our CityPass and got us our wristbands. Positives: -Lots of different things to experience. Some spaces are a little more kid-oriented, including a pirate search as walking through different mini exhibits. -There is a cool area where you can talk to scuba divers as they work in the big tank. -The rope walk over the shark tank. It's so secure you never feel any danger of falling in, but it is cool to walk over open tank. Child #3 loved this. -The shark tunnel where you are underwater and able to see all the animals swimming around you. -Plenty of bathrooms in each area, all with a clean changing station. -IMAX level movie theater with movies every hour. -Lots of interactive displays. Negatives: -The whole aquarium feels a little fragmented, like spokes on a wheel, which required a lot of backtracking if we wanted to go see a different section of the aquarium. -There are two touch tank areas, including a very large room which can easily fit over 100 people but only one sink to wash up after handling rays and other marine life. Overall decent place to take the family and experience the beauty of our oceans!
