💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Plan for at least 2-3 hours to explore the aquarium—many visitors report not having enough time to see everything, especially the 4-story rainforest canopy and diverse exhibits ranging from deep ocean to swamp ecosystems.
• 💡Parking is not available at the venue (neither paid nor free), so plan to use public transportation or arrange alternative parking nearby before arriving.
• 💡Don't miss the interactive exhibits designed for kids and seek out Methuselah, the world's oldest aquarium fish (a 92-year-old Australian lungfish)—a truly unique feature you won't find at other aquariums.
• 💡Use the live webcams available online to preview animals and plan which exhibits to prioritize during your visit, helping you maximize your limited time in this large facility.
• 🕐Visit during the Steinhart Aquarium's 100th anniversary celebration or time your visit with the rotating new species exhibits (such as the six new species added in spring) for fresh content and special programming.
