What a great place!! We were pleasantly suprised with the aquarium. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, and there is so much to see and do! Both my boys (13 & 9) loved it. We all enjoyed the huge snapping turtles and the shark tank. We would visit again. Highly recommended for families of all ages.

We visit several aquariums a year. It was a pretty good one to go to. Prices a hair high midday in the week. 3 of us $60 including feeding the sting rays once.

We only went to The Riverwalk Cafe, not the aquarium. The Cafe was awesome! Beautiful evening to sit outside on the deck. We ordered several appetizers to share and all were tasty. On Wed, Thurs & Fri, they have Happy Hour drink specials. Service was great as well. We will definitely be back! Check out the views.

Loved our visit to the aquarium. I fed the rays. I enjoyed the hands-on experiences. We liked getting to watch the alligators and sharks being fed. And all the employees were SUPER FRIENDLY. Also, the entry fee and price to feed the rays were very reasonable.

We loved this aquarium! All the personnel were so nice. We loved all the fish and the hands on activities (touching sting rays, and anemones and star fish).. We also spent a little for the kids to “mine” for rocks at the Red River Treasure Mine (we did get a bit wet!, so bring an extra shirt).
We were there for 2 hours and had a great time!

I was really surprised at how nice this place is considering how small it looks from the outside. Inside there is a lot going on and so many fish. There are a few different interactive station that are no extra charge which is amazing!

We didn’t know that Shreveport had an aquarium so we didn’t really have any expectations going in. However, we were pleasantly surprised! The aquarium is on the smaller side but had a lot of awesome hands-on exhibits and great employees who seemed to really care about educating people about the animals. We got to touch jellyfish, sting rays, starfish and coral. It was not crowded at all and we could spend as much time as we wanted at each exhibit. We all really enjoyed the aquarium and will definitely return!

Awesome experience and not too pricey. Parking was a little confusing as it is only the top layer to garage across the street, but it was free. Got to feed stingrays, pet jellyfish, and they had more unique animals on display than my local aquarium. I also loved the pirate or Halloween theme they had going on as well with activities throughout. Very memorable time.

Last min visit with the family and it was a very nice aquarium!! Affordable. Food was very good as well. Don’t miss out on this little hidden gem downtown.

I was initially reluctant to visit, but my husband and children mentioned it a couple different times. I’m so glad I trusted them :) our children had a wonderful time in the aquarium. It was pirate themed, and offered had a $3 option to join the scavenger hunt. We chose the scavenger hunt, and our children really enjoyed it! They were were given a small task to complete at each of the 6 stations, we had a lot of fun finding the stations, completing the tasks and getting their cards stamped. They were greeted by a real pirate who led them to the treasure chest for a bag of loot, after tricking my kids into taking a picture with him :)

Second time season pass holder.
The stingrays are an emotional subject with me because I have grown to love them so much. I feed them every time I go and I have my favorites. My grandchildren love that they can go anytime they want.
With mermaid and pirate parties, starfish touch tank and my favorite fish (a puffer fish named Potato) & gourmet food served overlooking the water, I’m in love with this aquarium. The staff cares about your experience and is friendly beyond compare. Touch a jellyfish, touch a starfish, touch a stingray, and make friends with Potato. They support local charities and take the opportunity to educate about the troubles our ocean creatures face with pollution, overfishing, & plastic. Pricing is more than affordable for a seasons pass. Nice lunch date spot. Good for weekenders looking for a consistent and genuine experience. You will not be disappointed. ( if you ask, staff will show you what tank Potato is in, He will be the adorable puffer fish that is so excited to see you that he is pressing his lips against the glass as he smiles at you, you will fall in love with Potato)

Beautiful place! Absolutely love it! It was a rainy day and rain could get through part of the old dome roof but honestly it added to the ambience for the animals in there. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. I loved the underwater tunnel and the little "bubbles" where you could look up at the animals like you were in the tank. The baby alligators, axolotls, stingrays, sharks.. Seriously couldn't pick a favorite. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommend!

Ps. Your ticket is for ALL day! You can go through as many times as you'd like!

July 1, 2023 came here for the first time.

This is a very cool, little aquarium with some exotic sea creatures.

I figured that Shreveport's aquarium would have been slightly bigger, but it was great visiting and enjoying the sights.

The interactive spots to touch the starfish and the anemones/coral was fun.

Seeing the visitors feed the stingrays were really cool, too. It is definitely pleasing and calming to see the sea creatures here.
