Visited this aquarium for the first time with a couple of my friends, and it was great….. until we got to the jellyfish touch pool. We were offered to touch the jellyfish, but we refused, because we have had jellies of our own (as pets) and we know how extremely sensitive and vulnerable they are to touch. Jellies have no immune system, and therefore they have no way of defending themselves against bacteria, germs, or oils introduced by humans. There’s also been loads of research on why jellyfish are not suitable for touch pools, and that research was proved right when we saw several holes in the moon jellies. We were made extremely uncomfortable when we saw the holes in the jellies, followed by the employee asking us if we would like to touch them. Absolutely not! Hope this place does better for its animals in the future, and since we can clearly tell they aren’t AZA certified, I hope they also start working towards that. Jellyfish with holes in them aren’t really the best experience when you go to the aquarium!

Went to the aquarium in March. This was one of the nicest aquariums I've ever been to. The admission fee was very reasonable and we spent about 2 hours there. The people were so nice and had so much information to give. They had 3 touch tanks and you could feed the Sting Rays! It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Nice place, clean, everything seemed well cared for, friendly and helpful staff. A little pricey, then had to pay more if you wanted to feed the sting rays.

There wasn't much to do in Shreveport other than the casinos. We did visit the aquarium. It wasn't how advertised and paying $5 for a wand to activate 4 things was bummer. Staff wasn't really friendly. One person pushed us out of the way to move a ladder to one of the tanks we were observing. The place was basically empty and it was unrealistic how rude they were or not allow us to explore.

It took about an hour to go through. We were a little frustrated bc online said you COULD bring drinks in but when we got there they said no. It was not crowded so we got to see alot of the animals close up and the staff at the touch tanks were very knowledgeable about their animals. Worth the stop. The website says they open at 10 on Sundays but they really open at 9.
