The Downtown Aquarium in Denver offers a truly unique and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. Nestled in the heart of the city at 700 Water Street, this isn’t just an aquarium – it’s an adventure! Prepare to be captivated by a diverse collection of aquatic life, ranging from common species to incredible tropical varieties. You’ll begin your journey with a friendly otter, eager to welcome you into this underwater world.
Beyond the fascinating exhibits, the aquarium boasts a fantastic dining experience. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the Cajun-inspired cuisine, particularly the crawfish and shrimp dishes – though a little spicy for my preference! The battered fish fry and fresh baked shrimp were also big hits. With fish tanks strategically placed behind the tables, you’ll feel completely surrounded by the wonders of the ocean.
A visit typically takes between one and two hours to explore the exhibits, and an additional hour or so can be spent browsing the gift shop. While admission is around $28, many visitors find it well worth the cost. For a truly relaxed experience, especially during peak hours, consider enjoying a drink at the restaurant beforehand to allow the crowds to thin out. Don’t miss the shark exhibit – it’s a highlight! And for a memorable moment, consider feeding the stingrays for just $4.50 – the delighted expressions of the children are priceless.
Whether you’re seeking a fun family outing, a captivating learning experience, or simply a respite from the Colorado heat or winter chill, the Downtown Aquarium promises an unforgettable day out.
