Fun ride but it's a little short time wise
This was a decent experience. The place needed some attention...meaning it needed to be tidying up. Some table areas needed to be wiped down and the restrooms needed attention also. Also some of the video games weren't working. I understand that video games aren't the only thing to do there, but it's a nice break from the "jumping" atmosphere. Hopefully on my next visit the video games get fixed, and as for the cleanup...it got reported and handled, thankfully.
Wir haben uns diese Woche das Aquarium angeschaut und waren eher enttäuscht. Der hohe Eintrittspreis ist nicht gerechtfertigt, man ist in unter einer Stunde durch. Sicher sehenswert, aber wenige Fische bzw Meeresbewohner. Nur der weiße Tiger ist beeindruckend
Fantastic exhibit. I didn’t expect to see a tiger at the aquarium, and the rides looked fun. It has a great variety of sea life and entertaining aquarium features too.
I had the pleasure of visiting the aquarium while on vacation. It cost around $17 to tour the inside. To explore the outside rides and activities, it costs more. They don't offer a military discount.
The layout is well designed, and they even offer a restaurant on the 3rd floor. It also includes a bar. I didn't eat here, though.
The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I just wish the inside was bigger and featured more to offer to guests. However, I would still recommend visiting.

What a delightful way to enter the weekend! Color.Full and interactive! I loved this place and the silent disco room was a vibe all its own... definitely my fav. 🕺🏽🎉 Aaannnnd, you get delicious snacks along the way. What's not to LOVE?! This place should certainly be on your list to experience when you are in Houston! xoxo
Fun experience for both kids and for adults who still like to have fun and be silly. The silent DJ room has such a fun vibe and would be a blast with a large group of friends. There are sweet treats between stations/rooms and the staff are all very kind and accommodating. I am already planning with friends to get them to come back for the upcoming Halloween/Fall experience (Haunted Hues).
I came here on my birthday and I’m so happy I did. It was such a wonderful time. Don’t rush the rooms. Take it all in and enjoy each one before you move onto the next. I loved the professional photos that you could take in each room. It was like your own little photo shoot. But don’t lose the QR code they give you otherwise you’re out of luck and you won’t be able to take more photos. Enjoyed my time here, definitely recommend!
Having been on many carousels at different zoos and parks throughout the United States, I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of this carousel. It is in fine condition and the animals are all labeled (names carved into the wood beams above the animal). Three animals are fixed and do not go up and down: the okapi, giraffe, and camel. At least one sleigh is available as well.
This place is huge & exactly what I needed to take my full-of-energy children in. Today was our first (a weekday) time coming & it was very quiet. My kids enjoyed having all that space to jump as much as they wanted. I forgot to take a pic of it but they have a toddler area where the littlest can jump without having to worry about accidents with big kids. They have good options for the kids to have fun. Definitely coming back soon.
Very nice place to bring your kids and have fun. They have an arcade, bull riding, dodgeball, basketball, and more fun activities! Reasonably priced and great service. Great for birthdays of all ages including adults. They do have jump guards that watch the jumping areas to make it safe and fun at the same time. If you're reading this, be sure to check their website for rules such as no jeans, etc.
