SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium

Reviewed By Cabomonkey90 - Memphis, United States

My son is fascinated with otters. As soon as he saw Seaquest advertisements about interacting with otters we had to go. We were so pleased with our experience. They limit the amount of people, so book early as it fills up. It took us a few days ot secure a reservation. We had 4 people in our group, which was the perfect size. We all got to interact with Chip and Dale, the adorable, playful otters. We got to hand feed them & pet them. We also were allowed to take our phones in to take pictures and videos. This was a great bonus as we did not have to pay for outside pictures to be taken like other attractions. Sam & Wendie our guides & experts were wonderful. They thoroughly explained everything clearly before entering the otter area. They are very knowledgeable in all things otter and explained every question we had. You get the sense they love their jobs & the otters and it shows. They are an asset to Sea Quest. Truly an unforgettable experience and a reasonably priced adventure. We can't wait to go again to see them.

This place is amazing. From the multiple dolphin pools, to the underground viewing where we had a great view of the young dolphins, to the garden with the lions and tigers. The icing on the cake was an unexpected opportunity speak with and have our picture taken with Siegfried Fischbacher. Definitely made our trip.

White Tiger Habitat at the Mirage

The rare, exotic animals used by Siegfried and Roy in their show can be seen for free in the lobby of the Mirage.

Reviewed By sorim2015 - Stevens Point, United States

Having never been to sea world or any other dolphin show, this was awesome. We were just a few feet away from the dolphins as they did their tricks. One of the trainers spent a long time explaining things to us and we learned a lot in the short time we were there. The best part is - the money you pay to enter goes towards feeding the dolphins. Highly recommend visiting this.

Silverton Aquarium

Named the “BEST FREE Attraction in Las Vegas,” this 117,000-gallon tropical aquarium at a casino resort with sharks, stingrays & real-life mermaids. Located off strip and away from the hustle and bustle. A great place to leave your kids ooh and aah for a bit while you pump a few dollars in the slots. Safety? No worries, there are always a handful of olds checking out the marine life that will watch the little ones. Cheers
