Mystic Aquarium, Mystic

Nice aquarium and viewing. I loved the marsh area! I knocked off one star because it is a very small aquarium for what u pay for. This also makes it extremely crowded very easily and quickly. I know it has been expanded some already but it is not all that big and you could walk through within an hour if it's not crowded.

Spent a great day here. We don't have kids and I was a little concerned it was going to be mostly kid-oriented but it was honestly probably more fun without kids. It's smaller than the Boston aquarium but you can easily spend a whole day here. I'd recommend eating elsewhere but other than that it was perfect. The gift shop is great and has a very cool selection of just about everything and isn't as overpriced as most gift shops tend to be. The staff was all very friendly and knowledgeable. Bring a camera if you have one, I got some very cool shots. We will be going back!

I arrived here on a Sunday with my mom. Best advise would be to get there EARLY. Because people are off, it gets packed quickly. We were probably better off going during the week when there aren't so many people, especially with small children. There's a lot to see, a lot to touch, and the staff are very responsive. In total I think we (2 adults) were there for about 4 hours. I wish they had had more food options but I understand that it's a small establishment and would suggest bringing your own food if you have food restrictions.

Great day for the family. Tickets may seem a little on the pricy side, but there is a lot to do once inside. Very easy to spend an entire day. They also do a great job of keeping the place "fresh" so you always see something new every time you visit.

Took my daughter up here for a day trip just after her school was closed for the year. I don't think I could decide which one of us was more excited to get there and who had more fun! It's also a plus that they offer military discounts and the staff could not be friendlier! Definitely worth a trip.
