SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium Is Hard To Believe

I decided to take the day off as I wanted to take Charlie somewhere to surprise him as I hadn’t been spending enough time with him. I decided we should bring one of Charlie’s friends with us.

I texted Aiden’s mom to let her know I would like to pick him up within the hour. Tammy texted me back to ask me where we would be going. I let her know I was taking the boy to SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium.

Aiden asked Tammy to look it up online as he wanted to make sure it was something he would like to visit. All I can say after they were on the website is Aiden said it was hard to believe I was taking them there.

Charlie’s other friends weren’t going to be able to come and if Aiden didn’t want to come we would have just done a family party. Before I could finish typing Tammy texted me back and said Aiden was waiting for us at the front door. I told David and Charlie to hurry and get dressed so we could head out.

Off we headed to Rigmar Mall in Fort Worth and I was surprised as we drove how quiet Charlie and Aiden was. I never heard are we there yet, or how much longer till we get there as it is about 30 minutes from our home. All, I could hear was I wonder if they have… Or I wonder if we will see. Or will we be able to do? I loved hearing their questions and hearing everything they wanted to do.

We got to Ridgemar Mall both David and I was surprised there wasn’t a sign pointing us to the exhibit. We weren’t sure where it was so we went to the Food Court and found a Mall Directory and I was able to locate where SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium was through it and it wasn’t hard to find at all. We passed the Kids Play Area and Santa’s House and neither of the boys asked to stop as they wanted to get right to SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium.

Once we arrived and I showed them my order number which I had on my phone, they handed me a stack of tokens and sent us inside. I wish the lady at the register had explained to us what the tokens were for and where all they could be used. Only she didn’t as there were other people behind us.

Now, before you ask me if I asked her what the tokens were for, the answer was no. I wasn’t able to as David and Aiden kept asking me to hurry up they couldn’t wait to get inside.

In we went and let me tell you as soon as they walked into the exhibit area I couldn’t stop them they were everywhere trying to see everything all at once. We went through the whole exhibit as a family and we learned it was a was a complete circle David and I let the boy’s wander around on there own, and we went back towards the front as I wanted to go inside the Bird Avery. I loved how the birds will fly down to get food from you.

If you wish to feed the animals, you will need the tokens given. Each animal cost two symbols, and there is enough food in a cup that two people can share. But each animal eats a different menu, so you have to get food at each attraction that you want to feed the animals. Charlie chose to feed the Alligator and Aiden feed the Sting Ray and David did the same animal Aiden did. Now, mind you I might have the wrong names but its hard to keep up with the animals when your chasing kids around.

Now, you might ask if I feed an animal to and the answer was no, I didn’t I used my tokens in the Gift Shop and purchased a shot glass to remember our trip in the future. This is something I would like to let you know about the tokens you are buying the more you purchase, the cheaper they are and you can use them to buy snacks for your family or use them inside the Gift Shop as one token is worth $2.oo in the Gift Shop.

SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium offers a completely interactive, hands-on learning experience for the entire family. Designed as a ‘Quest of Edutainment,’ visitors to SeaQuest will journey through realistically themed exhibits where they will connect with the animals through various hands-on encounters such as feeding sharks, stingrays, capybara, giant Sulcata Tortoises, large exotic birds species, and thousands of other creatures along the way.

Anyone in search of a more daring experience can enjoy walk-in bird aviaries, feeding caiman alligators or snorkeling in their giant snorkel tank filled with reef sharks, stingrays and hundreds of other tropical fish. Sea Quest Interactive Aquarium also offers an exclusive private event venue, which is ideal for school field trips, birthday parties, and private events. Explore, discover and learn more about the world we live in, as well as create lasting memories for the entire family and kids of all ages at SeaQuest Interactive Aquariums.

Can you believe Charlie, David and Aiden want to come back next year during Spring Break and Swim with the Stingrays and before you ask me if I am going to as well and the answer to that question is no, way no, how… Also, before you ask there are “SNAKE’s” and no, I didn’t go visit them I let the boys, and I sat out in the hall as I am afraid of them.

Although, I did watch the Bird show and would have stayed all day watching Ariel as she was so pretty and I loved seeing her dance. I liked knowing they do up to 4 shows a day and use different birds. I wish I had been able to stay and watch another show. But by then I had some boys who were starving. So the next time we attend I will be going early in the morning and then having lunch in the Food Court then returning to the Aquarium which with the tickets you can do.

I will not be able to this year, but with them bringing in new things all the time, I may look into an Annual Membership for our family as we would be ready to go all year. Especially if we decide to Homeschool my niece or nephew as there are Stem Activities we can do and a Montessori set up for Homeschooling Families. I liked knowing they host Field Trips and I can’t wait to take Charlie’s classroom if the principal say’s its okay.
