So so experience

It was better than some aquariums we’ve visited. My sister and I have been to several all over the country. The fish were unique but it seemed that some of the exhibits were mislabeled.

Great experience

It was the best part of Coney Island. I spent most of my day there because there are a lot of experiences offered for the admission price. I highly recommend. The staff were friendly and helpful.

An amazing and overlooked venue

This historic venue is definitely a site to be seen. I’ve been in New York City throughout my life, but somehow missed this venue. The staff was exceptional. We had two disabled individuals with us, and the staff made every accommodation to ensure an enjoyable visit. The final 4D video was very entertaining.

A little underwhelming

Fun experience, but a little underwhelming for the price. Definitely look at the map before you go and don’t plan to spend more then 2 hours there.

A really nice place to relax and stay cool and great shark watching

I visited the NY Aquarium after watching the Hot Dog Eating Contest and needed a place to cool off. I was able to just relax in the Shark Room and watch the fish swim by. It was so relaxing walking through the Shark display and watch the mammals do their thing. I got to see the penguins and the otters outside but it was so hot outside, 97 degrees, that I could not stay long outside. The park was closing most of the displays. Inside though, the tropical fish and Oceans of the Deep were cool, relaxing and engaging. It was a nice way to end the day in Coney Island.

Coney Island

Go in the winter if you'd like to avoid crowds, but since it's so close to the ocean and also winter in NYC, bundle up! Much of the aquarium features outdoor areas. I really enjoy the exhibits where you can go "underground." It's a small aquarium so it's not difficult or long to see everything in one day. The otters love to play, which is very cute to see in person.

Most likely never using Viator again !

I had called ahead of time regarding tickets in which they said the time you book doesn’t matter, they are accommodating with any time you show up. i tried to go for valentine’s day to which i encouraged traffic and i had bought my tickets to which i was denied at the door. I called the office to which they apologized and told me to contact viator because they don’t have access to rescheduled appointments that’s not through their website. I contacted Viator 4 times to which there’s been no resolution, no reschedule, no refund, nothing. I am in distraught because i genuinely wanted to go here with my partner and no one had told me they stop entry at a certain time. maybe i read past it im not sure but im very upset.
