5.00Go in the winter if you'd like to avoid crowds, but since it's so close to the ocean and also winter in NYC, bundle up! Much of the aquarium features outdoor areas. I really enjoy the exhibits where you can go "underground." It's a small aquarium so it's not difficult or long to see everything in one day. The otters love to play, which is very cute to see in person.
Most likely never using Viator again !

1.00I had called ahead of time regarding tickets in which they said the time you book doesn’t matter, they are accommodating with any time you show up. i tried to go for valentine’s day to which i encouraged traffic and i had bought my tickets to which i was denied at the door. I called the office to which they apologized and told me to contact viator because they don’t have access to rescheduled appointments that’s not through their website. I contacted Viator 4 times to which there’s been no resolution, no reschedule, no refund, nothing. I am in distraught because i genuinely wanted to go here with my partner and no one had told me they stop entry at a certain time. maybe i read past it im not sure but im very upset.
Disappointing experience

1.00The aquarium is actually very poor to visit ... very expensive for what we see there we are very disappointed. Choose the zoo of central Park is sublime
Scammed

3.00You didn't offer a senior discount like the aquarium website does. That would have saved me $6. Why is that? Is it a scam?
A wonderful day

4.00I haven't been to the Aquarium since elementary school. I arrived 15 minutes before the doors opened on a Sunday so I was able to find local parking. The line to enter was quick. Once inside its broken up into sections. The show with the seals stole the show and then you were able to go underground to see them up close swimming in their habitat. I'm happy I went as early as I did because by the time I left there were kids showing up in masses. Coney Island has definitely changed but there was a police precinct down the block- my guess is for the tourists protection. All in all I think it was a good value for the money spent.
Worth every penny

5.00Had a great time at the New York aquarium in Coney Island, New York. They do a great job. The place was clean. The staff was attentive and the displays were spectacular. The only challenge was we expected sea turtles which were not there. A great time and worth every penny.
Perfect for summer

5.00A nice experience, not the best aquarium ever seen but certainly amazing the tunnel, it is very nice the sea lions show. An experience to do if it is not the first time in New York
