Beautiful! This place is so beautiful, such a pleasant way to spend the day. The sea lion show is adorable. The huge fish tanks have so much to see but the shark tank will take your breath away. Look close and you may get lucky and see the giant tortoise. Parking can be tricky. If you are not lucky enough to get one of the few spots right infront on Main Street you must park in one of two municipal lots, neither of which are very close and with small kids it can be a hike. Its worth it, and the hike from the parking lot has ... read more

great place for kids as well as adults The fee to get in is about $18 for adults and $16 for kids. When you first get there you can see the seals outside which is a good welcome. When you get inside there is a sting ray tank where you can touch the rays. I liked it as much as the kids did. There are sharks and penguins at this aquarium. There is also a cafeteria so you can get something to eat if you are making a day of the place. I was very pleased with the aquarium although I thought the price was a bit high the kids learn... read more

LOVE IT!! Atlantis is wonderful. Its not huge but they pack alot of stuff into the space they do have. My son loves the outside tanks where he can hand feed the stingrays. This place makes for a really fun family day

Good for all ages They have such a vast assortment of marine life and animals to view. It's such an interesting environment to be in even if you're an adult i think you'd like it. Some of their exhibits let you touch the animals, like the stingrays. They have everything from sea lions, to sharks, to parrots, to monkeys. a great place to spend the day. it may be a bit pricey for larger families, but they offer special package pricing.

Fun for the family Atlantis Marine World is the perfect size for a fun (and not too exhausting) family outing. They have a large tank with an Atlantis theme, beautiful exhibits of colorful fish, and a touch-and-feed exhibit. Catering (for wedding parties, corporate holiday parties etc) is available, and is a nice change of pace from the typical catering hall. Birthday parties can also be held in Atlantis Marine World. Explorer tour boat rides are offered, as well as the Discovery tower ride. They also have a new swim tank, a... read more

Nice, for a small aquarium My kids always enjoy this aquarium. It's rather small, and I think they charge a bit much, considering the size and attractions. But like I said, they always have a good time. And it's nearby. That's what counts, right?

Yes - a great aquarium right here on Long Island With or without the kids, this is a wonderful spot to take a break from winerys or shopping. Don't forget to check out the rescued sea animal area, and even feel driven to make a donation of time or money to help out. Their educational boards help you understand what you are looking for

my child loves it! We have taken my child here a number of times now and every time she seems to like it more than the last! I wish they had a little more than they do but anyway, the kids have a blast. The set up is very nice and they do have a good variety of fish.... They're also adding on to it!
