Okay

Sea-life was amazing I do wish they note that when you book sea life and Lego land you need a kid to go to Lego land, me and my boyfriend didn’t have our daughter so we couldn’t go to Lego land but we still went to sea life

Such a great experience!

My wife, daughter, and I visited the Sea Life Aquarium on a Friday during the day and had such a good time. It took us about an hour total and there was quite a few different exhibits to see. I will say, it's not the biggest aquarium, however, it's AZA accredited and has some quality exhibits. Just don't rush through! We'll definitely be back!

Delightful experience

Our trip to Sea life aquarium in Auburn hills Michigan was great. When we arrived we had problems with the ticket that was purchased on the trip advisor website. The young lady checking the ticket was very patient and understanding and went over and beyond to help with figuring out the problem. She even took the time to be encouraging to my son with autism. I wish I would’ve asked her name. We enjoyed the aquarium and was worried about the issue affecting us at legoland so stopped to check in with her. She had her supervisor Amy help. It gets even better. Amy walked my son and I to Lego land and explained the issue to the employee to assure that we were granted entry. The employees at both locations were kind and made my son feel welcome and comfortable which I appreciated especially since we were there to celebrate his birthday. I’m presume that they do the same for every family. Everyone at both locations seem to be enjoying the experience.

Teacher discount

My young nephew & I came on a weekday in the summer when they were offering the teacher discount. He enjoyed it but rushed through due to previously being there for a field trip. It is a small and I'm glad I received a discount. Not worth the full price.

Behind the scenes

This is the second time that we did the behind the scenes. Charlotte was amazing. She added a lot of personality and fun to the experience. Jordan took a lot of time to give the kids special attention and answered their questions in terms that they could understand. I would recommend the tour.

Fun but a bit small

We had a lot of fun. Wished it was much bigger but it is nice to have another aquarium to be able to visit. All exhibits were clean and staff very friendly. Touching the sea anemones was probably my favorite thing. They were welcoming to our service dogs as well

BTS TOUR

Bts tour needs to be more interesting. I spent an extra $12(not much ) for somebody to talk to me for 40min . That’s not fun.

Waste. Not Wirth $110

This attraction is a total waste of money. Paid $110 and completed the aquarium in 30 minutes. Sure they have great displays but not worth the money for a family of 4. Maybe half this cost tops.

Not good for older kids

Husband and I took our 14 yr old daughter, she's obsessed with sharks. It was OK. Really geared towards younger kids. We walked through in less than a half hour.
