    More about: SeaQuest Aquarium in Las Vegas Tickets and Tours

    Among the many things to see and do in Las Vegas, SeaQuest offers one of the most alternative experiences to the main circuit of The Strip. Apart from the best casinos in town and the most famous hotels, you can discover this interactive aquarium that offers shows for the whole family.

    You can buy tickets online at the aquarium's official website or at the ticket office at the time of your visit.

    I advise you to always try to buy them online, as they include a 25% discount on the final cost, so you will get a significant saving if you buy them in advance.

    Also note that as with the Shark Reef aquarium tickets, the SeaQuest tickets are in high demand as it is a very popular attraction during the summer and during the high season months.

    If, for example, you are visiting Las Vegas in December, you will find a huge influx of tourists in the city, so in those cases I advise you to buy tickets in advance to access the discounts and to avoid being sold out.

    General admission tickets to SeaQuest are per day and their price depends on the age of the visitors, with those over 12 years old paying approximately 17 euros, tickets for children from 2 to 11 years old costing approximately 12 euros and those for adults over 55 years old, war veterans and students costing approximately 15 euros.

    There is also another type of ticket which is the annual pass, costing approximately 40 euros. With this pass you can make unlimited visits for a year, celebrate your birthday in the aquarium facilities and access discounts for guests and for interactive experiences with the animals.

    If you are planning a one-week stay in Las Vegas, the annual pass may not work for you, but it could be useful if you plan to travel more than once in a year.

    At SeaQuest you can also do activities that cost extra on top of general admission, such as animal feeding experiences or temporary exhibits.

    There are no queue-free admissions available, although entry is smooth and no long waits are usually generated.

    Are SeaQuest Aquarium tickets included in any city sightseeing passes?

    SeaQuest Aquarium tickets are not included in the Go City Las Vegas Tourist Pass, although other nearby attractions, such as the National Nuclear Test Museum or the High Roller Ferris Wheel, are included in the tourist card, so if you buy the pass you can organize an itinerary around the area to visit several sites.

    The Go City Sightseeing Pass consists of 2, 3, 4, 4, 5 or 6 days free access to the main attractions in Las Vegas, including the Mob Museum and the National Museum of Natural History, so it is a convenient option if you plan an intense tour of the city.

    If you want to visit the SeaQuest Aquarium on your own and you've also purchased the Go City Sightseeing Pass, it's ideal to organize an itinerary to get the most out of the sightseeing card.

    Are there tickets that include a guided tour of the SeaQuest Aquarium and is it worth it?

    The SeaQuest Aquarium is an interactive experience where you can visit the exhibits and the different marine wildlife ponds, so you don't need to take a guided tour. There is also no option, you just need to be guided by the signage during your tour.

    As with the Shark Reef Aquarium or the Titanic Exhibit in Las Vegas SeaQuest is an immersive experience, so each visitor organizes his own tour and is also his own guide.

    Note also that SeaQuest Aquarium in many of its exhibits is geared towards a children's audience, so all of its exhibits are accessible to all audiences.

    Tickets to visit the SeaQuest aquarium purchased online include a 25% discount on the final price, so if you have decided to visit this attraction and you have already planned the date of your visit to Las Vegas, I advise you to purchase them in advance.

    There are also discounts for war veterans, students and visitors over 55 years old, and children between 2 and 11 years old also pay a reduced rate. Please note that to qualify for children's discounts, minors must be accompanied by an adult.

    SeaQuest Aquarium also often includes promotions on Christmas Eve, so if you plan to visit Las Vegas during Christmas, you may be able to get an extra discount on the price of admission.

    Are there special SeaQuest Aquarium tickets for children?

    General admission tickets to SeaQuest Aquarium are at a discounted rate for children ages 2-11, and children under 2 get in for free, as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

    There are also discounts for children on the annual pass, which also includes the aquarium's birthday facilities free of charge and an extra discount for guest visitors ages 2-11.

    Note also that activities that can be booked at an extra cost, such as feeding the animals or visiting the temporary exhibits, are also at a reduced rate for children.

    Why is it worth buying tickets online instead of at the ticket office?

    It is worth buying tickets online instead of at the ticket office at the time of your visit because you will get a 25% discount, which can be magnified if you visit the aquarium with a large group.

    You should also keep in mind that the SeaQuest Aquarium is one of the most visited attractions during the high season months, so tickets could sell out or there could be long lines at the entrance, although the latter is uncommon because tickets are fluid.

    If you visit Las Vegas in winter there will be a smaller influx of tourists, although you should keep in mind that during Christmas tickets could also sell out.

    SeaQuest Aquarium opening hours

    The SeaQuest Aquarium is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., so you can organize an itinerary that includes a visit to other nearby sites on the same day, such as the High Roller Ferris wheel, which offers one of the best views of the city of Las Vegas

    Please note that the total tour of the SeaQuest Aquarium could take between 3 and 4 hours, depending also on the pace at which you plan to visit and whether or not you visit any of the activities with extra cost.

    How much time do you need to visit SeaQuest Aquarium?

    The answer depends on the activities you do and the pace of your visit, but the aquarium is large and has many ponds and exhibits, so a tour at a normal pace will take between 3 and 4 hours. This should be taken into account if you plan to take other excursions on the same day.

    Another aspect to consider is that SeaQuest is an attraction designed to visit with family and children, so I advise you to take enough time to see it in its entirety if you can.

    If you are planning a stay of a few days in the city, you can take a quick tour of the main exhibits and ponds that will take you between an hour and a half and two hours. In that case, here is a list of all the activities you can do in Las Vegas in 3 days.

    When is the best time to visit SeaQuest Aquarium?

    The best time to visit the SeaQuest Aquarium is during the summer, as the weather will be more pleasant to walk around the ponds and experience the animals. In addition, the aquarium could serve as a refuge from the desert heat of Las Vegas.

    If you visit Las Vegas in winter and it's snowing, you'll see one of the best views of the city on Maryland Boulevard, especially during Christmas Eve when Christmas lights invade the avenues of Las Vegas.

    How to get to SeaQuest Aquarium?

    You can get to the SeaQuest Aquarium by monorail to the Convention Center Station or the 202 bus from the EB Flamingo after Tamarus Station. Or take the 203 bus to the NB Maryland after Twain station.

    To get to the SeaQuest Aquarium you can also use the Las Vegas hop on-hop off tour bus service, which includes a permanent stop at the Aquarium.

    Located on Maryland Boulevard, SeaQuest is a bit removed from the main hustle and bustle of Las Vegas and therein lies its charm, because you can discover the city beyond its neon lights and incandescent signs.

    To make the most of your visit, this is an attraction that you can include in an itinerary for other nearby excursions such as the High Roller Ferris wheel or the National Nuclear Test Museum.

    What you can't miss at SeaQuest Aquarium

    SeaQuest is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. Despite its proximity to The Strip and Fremont Street, it breathes a very different air.

    At the aquarium you can visit more than 20 themed exhibits where you will feed birds, learn how reptiles live in the desert, pet sharks and rays and have access to interactive experiences about marine wildlife from five continents.

    If you decide to do any of the activities at an extra cost, you can also access special exhibits and get even closer to the animals that inhabit the aquarium.

    Also, don't miss the exotic aviary that crowns the highest point of SeaQuest, the temporary exhibits and the permanent display of the butterfly house.

    In this adventure through the rainforests, deserts and oceans of the world, you can live an interactive experience for the whole family in a very different way than most Las Vegas attractions.

    Tips for visiting SeaQuest Aquarium

    SeaQuest is an attraction designed to be visited with family and children at a leisurely pace, so I recommend that in order to discover all that the aquarium has to offer, you take the time to visit all the exhibits.

    You can also take pictures with the marine animals in the ponds and the aviary.

    Walking through the underwater tunnels while watching the rays and sharks up close is one of the best shows in Las Vegas and a must-see activity that kids will love.

    Finally, I recommend that when you buy your tickets you make the most of them by booking them online for a 25% discount and organize an itinerary around the area to see other nearby Las Vegas attractions as well.
