Eryn McGarryMarch 22, 2013Denver Aquarium makes for a great family outing, or a great date evening! There are great interactive stations to learn about sea life, as well as all the beautiful creatures you get to observe.
Lyndsie BrownFebruary 13, 2015AMAZING! Great aquatic life everywhere! Sea otters, tigers, and sharks! oh my! Worth the price! Got over an hour's worth in the aquarium part, and we didn't get to see everything! Will be back!
Veranika ZdanovichFebruary 11, 2018Well-organized exhibits,a lot many fish and other unique creatures species charmed us,the rain-forest zone is realistically warm and humid,and the stingray contact pool brought us much joy and fun!
The Ritz-CarltonApril 7, 2017Family-filled adventures await nearby with exhibits like Under The Sea, Coral Lagoon, The Rainforest, In The Desert, Shipwreck and many more. Don't miss the 4-D Theater or the Mystic Mermaids show.
Keith DouglasApril 7, 2013IF YOU are here for a scheduled BIRTHDAY, SKIP THE LINE and go all the way around to the Dive (gift) Shop, enter, keep right and look for the "Birthdays Meet Here" sign across from end of the bar.
Piatti Ristorante & BarOctober 5, 2014Before coming to Piatti Denver to fill up on Italian food, build up an appetite by checking out all that the aquarium has to offer! We totally get it if you opt for something other than fish though...
Bar downstairs. Good restaurant a bit pricey. Get the season pass, its a good deal and gives discounts and freebies.
Neal WolffDecember 2, 2017Good selection of fish and activities. A little on the expensive side for admission. You get to feed and pet stingrays, which is pretty cool.
Kira RakhmetovaApril 18, 2013Mermaids are amazing!! That was a super show!!! Still impressed. I had to buy a mermaid tail for my 3 y.o. daughter after this, because she was so excited to be one. She can watch them every day))
ColoradoJanuary 23, 2012500 species of ocean-dwellers roam landlocked Denver at the region’s largest aquarium. Get up close with the sharks, turtles, stingrays and otters who swim in more than a million gallons of water.- Brett Kessler DDSMay 6, 2019Downtown Aquarium 9.3 miles to the west of Denver dentist Town Center Dentsitry and Orthodontics
Jesus RodriguezOctober 2, 2013It is a nice aquarium especially for a landlocked city like Denver. Don't expect anything like the Baltimore Aquarium. But it's a fun thing to do on a rainy day in Denver.
Alaura BolingAugust 27, 2015Pretty small, but is fun to look at things. Much rather go to the Denver Zoo for a cheaper price and more/same things to see. Also, there is no parking after 6pm, besides the parking meters in front
Zack MitchellMarch 22, 2015Went there on Spring Break. Cool place, but I was a bit surprised at how small it was. Definitely worth it for the otters, though.- ColoradoAugust 24, 2010The Downtown Aquarium houses more than 500 species of animals, and you can dine in the Aquarium Restaurant seated around a 150,000 gallon aquarium while feasting on a variety of delicious selections.
Glenn HarrisMarch 16, 2015This is a great place to bring the kids. Try to get here before lunch to best the crowds though.
BRIAN SANTIAGOMarch 31, 2012A very fun aquarium! Huge tanks, most with open tops, and a variety of cool fish! Big and small! They even have a TIGER!
David ScooToursAugust 1, 2013At the end of happy hour at 7:00 you can watch the mermaids from The Dive Lounge and then go outside to make SMORES this summer.
HISTORYApril 5, 2010The complex features as public aquarium boasting more than one million gallons of underwater exhibits that highlight fascinating ecosystems around the world and house over 500 species of animals.
Snorkel with the fish and dive with the sharks. A-1 Scuba &Travel Aquatics Center offers these programs every weekend. Fun for the whole family.
Heidi MerrittAugust 31, 2011The 4D rides were cute/fun lots of exhibits to look at. The tiger wasn't out but overall was fun. Restaurant good food. Mermaid show was pretty neat def recommend it!!!

ᴡ SedberryJuly 5, 2011See the mermaid show in the restaurant. Lunch menu pretty good. So much better than when it was Ocean Journey
Kyle HarrisonNovember 16, 2013awesome aquarium. the restaurant is overrated, expensive prices for food you can get at any other Landry's but more because of the water tank.- Jessica FlackSeptember 5, 2016I wasn't impressed. Maybe I have just been to too many aquariums. They are all the same. My 2 year old did love the tigers, sharks and stingrays though.
New 4D shows, bamboo rollercoaster a bit scary for under 6, robot butterfly great for everyone.

Bruce CMay 28, 2010Dine at restaurant at 11:15 to get an aquarium-side seat to see scuba lady FEEDING fish, starting at 11:30. Kids love it.
Peter RogersMarch 2, 2010Ask for a table near the aquarium and make sure they tell you some facts about the tank to test your waitress. Beware of the voyeur baracuda.
Jill NatalieNovember 15, 2011Tiger Tuesday at 2:00! See the Sumatra tigers jump in the water and swim for a treat!- Bruce CMay 28, 2010Fun 4-D theater at front, but sit in middle or front row. Projector lights on ceiling make it hard to see from back row.
