Highly recommend a repeat visit. The little fishes to the big fishes were fun to view. I love the guide in the penguin area; she answered all my questions about their habitat.

What can I say except amazing. This is one of my favorite places to spend time and let's start off with the amazing staff members who are both knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the animals here. It was my first experience with the absolutely adorable and intelligent beluga whales which you can see are treated well and are very playful (splash people playfully sometimes so be careful if it's cold out), then going inside I felt like a kid again being amazed by mostly everything especially being able to pet the smaller sharks. Seeing the sea lions play, the pulsing jelly fish, and being offered great facts about the animals on the descriptions. Overall this was a really fun time and one of my favorite experiences in Connecticut.
We absolutely love going to Mystic Aquarium. There is so much to learn and interact with at all times. The staff is always there to answer any questions the kids have about any marine animal. Great job on the social distancing and cleanliness of the grounds.
Visited Mystic Aquarium in Mystic CT on September 14th was a great visiting day! The visit lasted about 2 hrs as we toured the entire aquarium which wasnt packed. They have the aquarium setup nicely to aid you in keeping healthy and safe. From first entering, you walk through an employee monitored staged room which they check your temperature with a touchless and interaction free, infrared thermal body scanner, you just walk right through. Upon entering the aquarium all CDC guideline requirements are posted and controlled to ensure you and the family, friend stay safe. So bring your Mask they are currently required. The aquarium is guided from exhibition to exhibition by signs, marked arrows and lanes to keep traffic flow going smoothly around all aquarium features. From starting with the famous Beluga Whale which they seem to enjoy the attention - see photos, you will enjoy the sea lions, seals, penquins, Alligators , and enclosed aquarium features. The enclosed aquarium includes a large variety of sealife that will keep you and your guest amazed and entertained, from exotic fish, sharks, stingrays, turtles (that look like Crush from Finding Nemo), rare blue lobster, Biofluorescence fish (really cool) - see photos and lots more. They also have a shark tank so you can touch them . Ending your trip with a quick stop at the Jurassic Thrill exhibition will end your exciting visit unless you want to do the complete walk through again and again and again and, ok ill stop. As for food or snacks not much is available, just a couple quick bite shacks serving hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, ice cream, drinks and more. Enjoy! Like if you appreciate the time I gave to this review and if I convinced you to go and have a great day with the family and or friend. Remember stay safe and healthy, we will get through this!
I have been to quite a few Aquariums. This one, I feel, have a good staff. They are knowledgeable and answer questions. Very child friendly. And they do their part to be safe against COVID. From Fish to Whales to Sharks. Beautiful and Majestic.
