Shreveport Aquarium,

"We’ve been members for two years and this is my son’s favorite place to go! They’ve added more sea creatures, insects and things over time. It’s nice to see them dedicated to improving. I love taking him whenever there are events going on because it gives him a more interactive experience. In July they have Shark Week and they throw a “party” for one of the sharks. It’s cute and we love it because it’s a few days before my sons birthday and they’re the same age. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. The addition of the restaurant/cafe was the perfect touch. Although, it would be nice if the hours were more convenient. The restaurant hardly ever seems to be open. I highly recommend getting memberships. It’s worth it. The website lists all of the perks for membership. I will say, it’s better experiencing in person. We make the most of it."

"We only went to The Riverwalk Cafe, not the aquarium. The Cafe was awesome! Beautiful evening to sit outside on the deck. We ordered several appetizers to share and all were tasty. On Wed, Thurs & Fri, they have Happy Hour drink specials. Service was great as well. We will definitely be back! Check out the views."

"Loved our visit to the aquarium. I fed the rays. I enjoyed the hands-on experiences. We liked getting to watch the alligators and sharks being fed. And all the employees were SUPER FRIENDLY. Also, the entry fee and price to feed the rays were very reasonable."

"Second time season pass holder. The stingrays are an emotional subject with me because I have grown to love them so much. I feed them every time I go and I have my favorites. My grandchildren love that they can go anytime they want. With mermaid and pirate parties, starfish touch tank and my favorite fish (a puffer fish named Potato) & gourmet food served overlooking the water, I’m in love with this aquarium. The staff cares about your experience and is friendly beyond compare. Touch a jellyfish, touch a starfish, touch a stingray, and make friends with Potato. They support local charities and take the opportunity to educate about the troubles our ocean creatures face with pollution, overfishing, & plastic. Pricing is more than affordable for a seasons pass. Nice lunch date spot. Good for weekenders looking for a consistent and genuine experience. You will not be disappointed. ( if you ask, staff will show you what tank Potato is in, He will be the adorable puffer fish that is so excited to see you that he is pressing his lips against the glass as he smiles at you, you will fall in love with Potato)"

"We loved this aquarium! All the personnel were so nice. We loved all the fish and the hands on activities (touching sting rays, and anemones and star fish).. We also spent a little for the kids to “mine” for rocks at the Red River Treasure Mine (we did get a bit wet!, so bring an extra shirt). We were there for 2 hours and had a great time!"
