I love love love love love love love going to the aquarium and will definitely be going back. There's a wide variety of reptiles, mammals, and general sea life like invertebrates. They had a little hallway with water in the ceiling and around the sides and when you went in it was like the fish were Swimming All Around you. They had lots of photo ops, but no flash if you're taking pictures so some of these look a little dark due to the blue or purple lighting. Well worth the entrance fee. The gift shop has a wide variety of souvenirs at reasonable prices.

★★★★☆This place was smaller than I thought it would be. I dont feel it was worth the money for how quickly we got through all of it. Seemed like there were more snakes and frogs than there were fish. I did see a couple small fish I haven't seen before though, they were pretty cool.
I did appreciate the cleanliness of the place.
Awesome!!! We were able to watch them feed the sharks! The animals all seemed very happy. They were active. I really loved how clean the enclosures were and you can tell happy. The place itself was clean. Staff was very friendly.
Small Mall aquarium but we'll above my expectations! Kids 18 and 8 and we spent 3 hours there enjoying everything we could. Clean and extremely friendly staff, great stop on our way home!
The waters in all the tanks were very clean, all the fish looked healthy and the glass on the tanks weren't foggy. Though some of the glass were scuffed and had some minor scratches, we were still able to see in them no problem. That's the experience I appreciate. I also enjoyed seeing real, live and healthy coral in the tanks with the tropical fish. Been to enough aquariums where all the corals are fake in the tank with the fish. Overall size of the place was small but enough for our family and a 4 year old to really take his time and enjoy himself. Variety of species were good. There is 2 little sharks in a tank of a variety of very interesting looking large cat fish. There's also 1 sea turtle. And another tank across that of large fish with the white one that was very unique looking. The reptile section the animals were all very close up to the front. I guess we got lucky that day. Hard to see the nocturnal animals area but it was cute entering the space because it was really dark and leading up to it my kid thought it was spooky. We took our time and spent a little over 2 hours, under 3 hours there.
This aquarium is perfect for younger children! We took my two year old for his birthday during the week and he had so much fun walking around and exploring. He loved the touch tanks and the gift shop the best! It’s a small aquarium but very well maintained.
I have lived in Bloomsburg all my life and never got a chance to come here. WHAT A MISTAKE! My husband and I brought our four and two year-old and they had so much fun! We spent about two hours here and that was the perfect amount of time to go around to each area. The stingray tank was awesome. Lots of displays for all of the different wildlife. My personal favorite was the sloth in the back. Really big gift shop at the end with reasonably priced items. It is a little pricey, but it was worth it to us!
Sidenote… We took our kids to play at Bee’s Playhouse afterwards and they had so much fun. It was a perfect day spent at in Scranton.
I enjoyed the stop while passing through town until a staff member proved she was better with animals than with people. I was no longer enjoying myself so I left.
Its definitely worth a visit, just don't say much...
