    This is a very nice, mid-sized aquarium. Everything is well cared for, there are plenty of staff/volunteers who are very engaging with visitors, and the combination of insectarium and aquarium is novel. All exhibits are well laid out with no clutter. There are a number of direct and indirect interactions with the inhabitants. All in all a 4.5 star experience. Agree with all plusses noted in previous reviews. Some other reviewers' criticisms are difficult to parse. The main one is that it's too expensive at $40 per adult. It's not obvious how to gauge value for something so subjective. Someone compared this to Monterrey Bay, the crown jewel of aquariums. That's a $65 ticket. To me the NOLA aquarium is comparable to the National Aquarium (Baltimore Harbor), which is $50 or the grandparent of aquariums, New England (Boston), which is $40. To complain that parking adds to the cost may be true, but it's true at pretty much every urban zoo, aquarium, etc. Other reviewers felt there was a lack of connection to Louisiana's waters. But there is an entire section of the aquarium devoted to the bayou and gulf coast. Some believed the aquarium too quick to navigate, e.g., 1 h tops. If one takes time to read each display's information and attempt to locate the habitants (particularly the insects!) it takes a lot longer, more like 2 h. And last, it was pointed out there are too many gift shops, a la a Disney or Universal theme park. We counted 2 shops, one at the exit of the insectarium and one at the exit of the aquarium. This is likely a legacy of when they were two separate operations? But it makes sense to keep the swag separate regardless.

    despite being a tad expensive for what they offer (especially when you figure parking into the equation) . I wish there had been more of a focus on the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast (& there was some just not as much as I expected). All in all quite enjoyable and a fun experience just think for the price charged it could--and should--have been more. The penguins (a favorite) were fascinating to watch, the jellyfish are simply mesmerizing, and the sea horses are always a treat to see. One of the most enjoyable moments was watching the divers cleaning the glass, playing w/ the fish, and feeding the stingrays. Opt to pair your ticket w/ the insectarium and the zoo and order parking early and on line to save some money.

    We've visited many aquariums and zoos and I was not expecting much from this duo but I was pleasantly surprised by both the insectarium and the aquarium. Both are both well-designed, welcoming, and informative. We went on a rainy day with our kids (ages 12 and 15) and everyone enjoyed it. The butterfly exhibit and the jellyfish were both highlights.

    Very nice aquarium, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The insect part of the aquarium was a little underwhelming, but the butterfly area was cool. The actual aquarium is impressive with a large collection of different fish as well as penguins and sharks.

    We enjoyed this aquarium! I especially liked the glass tunnel you could walk through, the touch tanks, large panoramic window view of the aquarium tank, and other animals that could be seen! Would definitely go back!
