Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Quite impressive! You should definitely check it out. In addition to the aquarium, there's a complimentary virtual reality show. Finding the entrance can be a bit tricky—once you enter the hotel, bear to the left. Here's a tip: For free parking, you can use the generous parking space available behind the McDonald's across from the hotel.

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay was definitely a highlight of our trip to Vegas. Although it was smaller than expected, we still had a great time seeing the sharks and even got to pet the sting rays. We were lucky to get free tickets through a friend, so we're not sure about the actual price. The location was easy to access from the Strip, but be prepared for a long walk indoors. Just a heads up, drinks are not allowed inside so plan accordingly or finish your beverage before entering the exhibit. Overall, a fun experience that we would recommend to others visiting Vegas.

Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay is a fantastic destination for anyone interested in viewing underwater marine life. The facility is well-maintained and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The admission price is reasonable compared to other attractions on the Las Vegas Strip, and the aquarium features a variety of exhibits, including smaller tanks. I had a great experience visiting with my family and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I would definitely consider returning in the future.

Often when coming to Vegas, people don’t think of family friendly activities and this should be considered one of the top 5 on the Las Vegas strip. located at the back of the casino, not too far of a walk from the parking garage, you’ll find the shark reek aquarium. Make sure to take plenty of photos and enjoy your time in the open space observing the aquarium’s. It’s awesome to see them cleaning them so often!

It was pretty cool. I've definitely been to more elaborate aquariums but this was still worth going! I loved the tunnels you walk through and the room where you can see sharks above or below you. Loved the tacky but cute photos they take of you upon entering that's a nice touch. It was sort of hard to find the place though, no marked entrance and no signs.

I finally checked off feeding the turtles from my bucket list at Shark Reef in Mandalay Bay and it was an incredible experience. The animals are clearly well taken care of and you can feel the love they receive. I highly suggest taking part in any feeding activities for a more hands-on experience. I will definitely be returning in the future.

I had a great time exploring Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Despite its size, the aquarium was well-organized and informative. It took me about 30 minutes to see everything. It's a perfect way to escape the heat or entertain kids. Just keep in mind that there is some distance to walk to reach the aquarium.

This aquarium is a great option for families with kids, but adults may find it underwhelming. It only takes about half an hour to tour the entire place, and compared to other aquariums the price felt a bit high for the size. Despite this, we still had a good time, but it seems like the experience is best suited for children.

Overall not bad, but probably one of the smallest aquariums I've been to. Maybe that's not surprising since it's inside a hotel though. However, since it's Vegas they also charge quite a lot for such a short experience. I took my time, and still managed to finish in under 30 minutes. Length of the experience aside, the place was well maintained & had quite a good variety of sea life. There are a couple distinct zones with their own themes, and a handful of non-aquatic exhibits as well. I think it was worth doing once, but I probably wouldn't spend the money again - unless they had some sort of special exhibit going on.

It's nice. But to be honest I've expected a bit more. We've seen many aquariums around the world and there are much better ones! Part of the aquarium was closed due to renovations, hopefully it will be better in the future! The staff is mostly friendly. At the ticket booth we showed our sightseeing pass, the lady there sent us away because their internet was down (for the last 3 weeks🙄). But luckily I was persistent and asked for a manager. She was really nice, we didn't have to discuss with her, she just asked her staff why she didn't give us a hand written ticket. So we were glad and could go in!

This place is beautiful and super clean! Definitely a must do if you’re going to Vegas with kids! The pricing is very reasonable for an aquarium and they even have a virtual reality section. We were unable to do it as my daughter is 4 and it is 5+ but we were refunded that amount without a hassle. Overall a great experience and a must do while visiting!

Not bad. More 3 1/2 stars but no one here pissed me off. Plan on seeing a lot of kids here for obvious reasons. Nice amazon or jungle theme when you enter and their underwater ship was cute. This is a place I will only visit once unless I come back with kids. Don't get me wrong, this is for adults to view as well. Saw some interesting sharks. Just a one time visit for me.

Overall, a great experience. It's great for younger children because they can get right up next to all the sea creatures. As you go through the exhibit, it gradually builds up to the large tanks where you can walk through. It's cool to watch the sea creatures swim right over your head, and it's definitely worth the money. There are always discounts, so seek them out.

Fun way to spend some time in Las Vegas. It is located inside of Mandalay Bay's Convention Center. They let us in on a schedule of 30 minute intervals, so factor that in. The tickets cost 29 dollars. Upon entering the attraction we encountered a komodo dragon. It was unexpected for a shark reef but very interesting. Walking through the tunnels is an interesting view of the marine life. There is a high concentration of exotic sea life is impressive and seeing them from this garage point was both unique and enjoyable.

The Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is fun to do once, but not something I would pay for again unless I had the kids with me. If you have visited any other aquarium in the country, then Shark Reef really doesn't offer anything more than what you've already seen. Of course, kids will love it and it's a good activity for them, but it was a touch dull for the price.

A nice little display with a lot of fish and a few other animals. We had free tickets so it was worth seeing once, but probably won't come back next time because there's not a ton to see or do. It takes about an hour to walk through.
