We took our time to really look at the animals and enjoy the company. We stayed for around an hour. We loved just seeing all the sharks and turtles swim over us and truly loved seeing it. The staff is super friendly answered any questions we had.

I haven't been here since I was a kid growing up in Vegas.. now as an adult I took my husband and we had the best time! It was a perfect date and so beautiful and amazing that you can enjoy something like this on the strip!! 10/10 definitely recommend and cant wait to go back!

I liked the shark aquarium and the Komodo Dragon the best. Overall, I would ...

We had an excellent experience today at the Mandalay Bay Aquarium. A place that can be described as relaxing, where you can see several interesting species of sea creatures. You can also enjoy a six-minute 3D video show that makes you feel like you're diving underwater with sharks. Very interesting experience. I have to say that the entrance fee is a bit pricey considering how small the place is ...
Book your timed entry midday on weekdays to avoid crowds. The indoor aquarium stays cool year-round, offering a break from summer heat.
