Was so cute to walk through! The exhibits are interactive and there are so many different species! I loved being able to touch a moon jelly fish and string rays at the end! It took my husband and I about an hour to walk through. I imagine little ones will take a little more time but not too much. A great place on a cold day to visit in Denver!

Great place. The Tigers were out. My kid and her friend enjoyed the petting part. Decent snacks. The aquarium is a good place to spend a couple hours. The staff is friendly and informative. Definitely will he coming back to enjoy some time here.

Wonderful visit! Took us about 90 min as we stopped to look at every exhibit. No bathrooms or food during the visit (only beginning + end), so plan around that. The two tigers were lively and playful when we saw them, and there was a 10:30 training for the otters which was a fun sight to see.
