SeaQuest Littleton

This place does smell like an indoor zoo, while the ones in Texas do not. This one could be well overdue for a remodel with the leaks and ultimately better ventilation. Nonetheless, it is $40 a year for a membership and a fun place to go on a -10 degree day. My son was happy to do 3 laps around the loop.

We did not play for tokens to feed animals.

I had a wonderful time at SeaQuest Littleton with my family. It was amazing to see and touch so many different animals from all over the world. We fed the stingrays, cuddled with the sloths, and even snorkeled with the sharks! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the exhibits were clean and well-maintained. SeaQuest Littleton is more than just an aquarium, it’s a zoo-like experience that you won’t forget. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves animals and adventure. It’s a great place to visit for all ages. 🐠🐢🐍🦜🦘🦥

We had a lot of fun here. We got there at 1 and the feedings were done. So we didn't get to feed the animals. They put out a limit of food so the animals don't get over feed. They were a little short staffed. But we still had fun. They gave us places online where we could get discount coupons. We could still do the touch a fish area and it was really cool all the different kinds of animals they had. Our whole family had a great time.

Lovely place to spend a fun afternoon. Macy, the head aquatic (mother of those river monster fish), was lovely and really showed her passion and intellect when telling us about all of the fishies. All the other staff was lovely as well. Love Sammie, Justin, Mark, and an Unnamed plush sea turtle with a pink cowboy hat. See you in the stars ✨

We came here for our sons 3rd birthday. It was so much fun. Even my 13 year old enjoyed interacting with the animals. But what made it so much more special was Mermaid Alice. She was so sweet and made the experience magical. She is AMAZING.

We just went there last week with my little guy who is 1 year old. We had such a great time and my son was able to interact with a lot of animals that we had seen behind glass before at other zoos. The staff was so friendly and one staff member Kari was so kind and helped my son feel safe when he was afraid interacting with the birds and by the end of the interaction she made him feel brave and proud of himself and excited to gently interact with more animals. They taught my son so much and I couldn't be more grateful that he was able to have such a positive first experience with wild animals!

My only downside that continues to stick out in my mind was that we had a hard time finding any signage for SeaQuest telling us it was inside of the Southwest Mall (which we found out is due to the mall refusing to allow them to advertise outside of the mall which gave me a pretty negative feeling about the mall considering they should be grateful for all the business they get from people coming for the aquarium but I digress.)

Seriously a hands down best experience I’ve ever experienced. Had all sorts of animals and interactions along the way. Staff was really knowledgeable and very happy to talk about the animals with us and where they come from. Seriously very friendly staff I will for sure be coming again because of them. They even let us in the birds exhibit and showed us how to properly feed them + the wallaby. Very happy we found this Gem in this city and I can’t wait to be back.

SEAQUEST STAFF- YOU GUYS ROCK AND CONTINUE TO BEING ANIMAL LOVERS I APPRECIATED EVERY MINUTE OF MY VISIT!!

Went during the Labor Day weekend using a special rated discount the hubby found. I would suggest going through the weekday as this visit was a bit heavier with visitor traffic than normal. Exhibits are nice and well kept with continuous animal interaction and helpful friendly staff at every turn. This is our 2nd trip here, and there is always something new to see.

We found a great Groupon and decided to swim with sharks and Sting rays. Our in water instructor was great and knowledgeable. They provide everything you need. We also hung out with a wallaby, saw the sugar gliders and walked around. The aquarium itself is pretty small (maybe a 30 minute to hour walk around time). They have a cute gift shop and lots of animal interactions. I know there have been complaints on the cleanliness of this place, but we saw no issue and all the staff there obviously cared immensely for the animals. The snorkeling was our favorite and a great way to experience it safely.

Lexie helped us out and was AMAZING! All the staff was very sweet, and they have lots of fun animals there.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Great time to spend with the family, cost is not expensive, staff is fantastic and the animals are phenomenally cute.

Update 12.20.23
I took my boyfriend here and we both had an excellent time!! The staff are super friendly and great with the animals. Such a great time! We'll be back!

I went here with my mom for my birthday and had a great time! The staff are really friendly and happy to talk about the animals and help out with the animal visits/interactions. It's 100% worth it to feed the rays, they're like adorable aquatic puppies!

If you have children, this is a great place to take them.They have certain animals you can feed, and some you can hold too. Their animals are very sweet, gentle and well behaved. The staff are very kind and understanding. They do an amazing job at taking care of the animals and helping visitors. The staff do their absolute best to make sure you're having a good time. You can tell they love their job and actually want to be there. I have only had good experiences at SeaQuest.

This place was absolutely amazing! Doing the experiences makes it even better. We did the Safari one with Emily (who by the way was amazing and so knowledgeable and patient with my 6 year old) I felt like we did so much and created memories that will last a lifetime. Cant wait to come back.

This was such an amazing experience.
Do yourself a favor and buy the tokens. You can interact with almost all the animals with tokens and it’s worth every Penny. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My whole family enjoyed this experience and we will come back every time we are here.

Nice staff. Kids loved this place and they have unique animals to feed and pet. The albino wallaby was super adorable. The birds experience was well worth it!

So much fun, with a wide variety of immersive options. It's also pretty neat the place is tucked with Southwest Plaza.

We did the Epiquest tour. The guide was really informative and made sure we could experience as much as possible. The snorkeling was really unique!

We were visiting the area on a family vacation to Silverthorne and surrounding areas. Our 14 year old daughter found this amazing place on google search. We called ahead and purchased the ultimate safari pack. This is an extra charge on top of the $19.99/ person admission tickets. We received a 25% discount on our tickets for booking over the phone.
We arrived approximately 30 minutes early. Check in was simple and then we wandered around inside taking in all the animals while waiting for our personal guided experience to begin. I highly recommend purchasing the safari pack for kids and adults that want to hold and handle the animals. Our guide was great. He gave interesting facts about the animals we encountered. We got to go behind the scenes, feed many animals, and hold many animals. Our daughter just couldn’t get enough and asked to snorkel with the sting rays. Unfortunately SeaQuest staff is unable to do same day bookings for the simple facts of staff has to prepare for the experience and they were already booked for the day. The staff was super kind and said that they’d be happy to book our daughter for the following day. Unfortunately we are pulling out first thing in the morning to head home so our daughter will not get to snorkel. We understood and did not let this change our feelings about our overall experience.
Our family highly recommends visiting this fun and interactive place. Lots of animals to touch and feed. 10/10 we would visit again! We spent nearly 3 hours here.

This is a "must visit" if you have kids. Went with my 9 and 14 year old girls, had the best time! The staff was so helpful and friendly! Check out SeaQuest before blowing your money at the Denver Zoo or Aquarium. While SeaQuest is not as big, they offer a interactive experience with a large host of Animals. Very educational for your kids.
Tips on saving money
* Try and plan your visit on a weekday.
* Buy Tokens as a bundle
( Tokens used to purchase food for feeding animals, and 1 on 1 visits )
* Purchase tickets and tokens on line.
Only issue I have is that my kids got to hold a super cute Hedgehog. Now all I hear is, " Dad can we please get a Hedgehog!!!"
FYI
The only reason they don't get a full 5 star rating is that the misguided people at PEDA try to bring their rating down. What they don't understand is that the animals at SeaQuest are rescues.
There's no better way to teach kids how important it
it to protect animals and their environment than a trip to SeaQuest!
