The aquarium is nice and well maintained. During the week, the aquarium doesn't offer anything more than admittance. The aquarium offers a little room with two interactive games and a small crawl-thru play area for toddlers. It takes only about 1 hour to read and view the exhibit descriptions and play the two games. The cost to view the aquarium is $9.00 per person. If you are already in the Albany area then it is a good little outing but I wouldn't drive over an hour to visit it.The aquarium doesn't have the traveling exhibits any longer.The aquarium only shows the movies on the weekends.The special feeding programs are only offered on the weekends.
Off the beaten path but worth a visit. Not very busy but has a lot to look at. My family found it fun and educational. Once you are done with the Riverquarium and the IMAX movie you can take a stroll along the Flint River. The river walk is nice.The only downside is the facility is not that big.
Took the little one (3 at the time) and he had the best time. Not at all like a regular aquarium and it is fairly small but still fun and educational. We really enjoyed the birds out back and watching the staff feed the alligators.
There's not alot to do in Albany, so this was one of the choices. Nice place to visit. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.
The aquarium tells the story of the Flint rivers journey through Ga to the Gulf of Mexico. They have a nice collection of fish, turtles and alligators. They also have an aviary. During the weekends they have an IMAX theatre showing wild life movies. The best feature is the blue hole, especially when there is a scuba diver feeding the fish.
If you have never been to an aquarium this is a must visit. Not very large but very informative as the whole is set up to replicate the lower Flint river. I was mildly impressed with the visit. Albany has done quite a bit with their downtown and the Flint River park and aquarium is a great addition.
The FlintQuarium is amazing! We took the kids ranging from 7-21 and everyone had a blast including the kids in us(adults)! They had amazing age appropriate activities planned, the exhibits were interesting and visible for all to see at different angles,the hands on discovery stations to the indoor cave funhouse will keep them entertained and wanting to go through again and again! The spectacular dive show to the colorful calms of the aviary were captivating! All of the ooooouu's,ahhh's...and the look mom and dad! brought so many smiles and warmed our hearts! I can go on and on about this attraction, but I must say that the staff was very knowledgeable, patient, respectful and showed true Southern hospitality!I hope your family will visit Albany,Georgia and experience what the "Good Life City" has to offer!
Really very well kept area with numerous animals to see in large containers. Big glass aquariums with so many things to see. Loved the huge turtle and the albino gator !!!
Being from Kansas my teen daughter really enjoyed the displays as some of the fish & animals were new to her. Yes, compared to the Atlanta aquarium it is small but we enjoyed our visit. This was a nice small town aquarium. No diver or staff interaction while we were there. Don't know if it's worth a second visit.
Great little aquarium in the middle of no where. Had a great time. Love that there was interactive things to do. Clean facility.
