Aquariums allow us to gaze into another world at all kinds of amazing aquatic life. They also give us a better understanding and appreciation for the planets ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
The great thing is that most of us in the United States are just a short drive away from one of these aquariums. Some are small dedicated affairs and others are large and breathtaking. Either way there’s something for everyone.
So let’s dive in and find the best aquarium in your state!
Alabama: Dauphin Island Sea Lab Estuarium

102 Bienville Blvd, Dauphin Island
The public aquarium at Dauphin Island has 31 aquariums with over 30,000 gallons of water and more than 100 species to view. These aquariums highlight the four main habitats of coastal Alabama which include: the Northern Gulf of Mexico, the Barrier Islands, Mobile Bay, and the Mobile Tensaw River Delta.
But the Sea Lab is more than just a public aquarium. Its primary mission is oceanic and coastal research and education. They partner with 23 higher education institutions to provide studies for undergraduate and graduate students.

9500 E Via De Ventura, Scottsdale
At a total of more than 2 million gallons, the OdySea aquarium in Scottsdale is the largest in Arizona. This much water is a must when you consider its 65 exhibits and 370 species!
This is the best aquarium in AZ not only because of its size but also because of its offerings. It has the world’s only revolving aquarium experience and my personal favorite SeaTREK Helmet Diving! This is an actual diving experience where you get to come face to face with fish in the aquarium.
Arkansas: Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center

602 President Clinton Ave, Little Rock
While not a large commercial aquarium like those found in other states the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center is still worth the trip. The focus of the center is on the outdoor recreation opportunities that the state’s natural resources provide. It features 6 different Arkansas habitat types with aquariums and the species that inhabit them.
California: Monterey Bay Aquarium
886 Cannery Row, Monterey
In a state such as California with multiple excellent aquariums picking a single winner is tough. But, the Monterey Bay Aquarium finds its way to the top with its focus on ocean conservation. The aquarium boasts over 200 exhibits and 80,000 plants and animals. One of these exhibits even has a living kelp forest.
In addition to the amazing public aquarium, Monterey Bay also works to rebuild sea otter populations, transform fisheries, and protect California’s ocean.
Runner up: I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention the Aquarium of the Pacific. While not #1 it is a close second and one you should definitely check out.
Colorado: Downtown Aquarium
“Denver Downtown Aquarium” by Snap Man is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0
700 Water Street, Denver
The Downtown Aquarium in Denver has the unique distinction of being part aquarium, part restaurant, part ballroom, and part bar.
On the aquarium side there are exhibits such as Under the Sea, At the Wharf, The Rainforest, Coral Lagoon, Sunken Temple, and more. With more than 1 million gallons and 500 species of animals, the aquarium isn’t just a sideshow, it’s the main attraction.
But should you get hungry or a little parched after looking at the exhibits, the Downtown Aquarium has got you covered. At the restaurant, you can view the 50,000-gallon centerpiece aquarium as you chow down. The Dive Lounge can satisfy your thirst for libations if you are so inclined as well!
Connecticut: Mystic Aquarium
“BELUGA WHALE AT MYSTIC AQUARIUM” by bob194156 is licensed under CC BY 2.0
55 Coogan Blvd, Mystic
The best aquarium in Connecticut is a close call between the Maritime Aquarium and the Mystic Aquarium. But, for me, it comes down to two words. Beluga whales.
The Mystic Aquarium has the largest outdoor beluga whale exhibit in the United States. Charismatic and gentle, these aquatic mammals are a sight to behold. They are in good hands at this aquarium as well as they are a leader in beluga research, care, and behaviors.
Beyond just the belugas there are plenty of other exhibits and experiences for the whole family to enjoy!
Delaware: Seaside Nature Center
15099 Cape Henlopen Dr, Lewes
While there aren’t any large aquariums in the state of Delaware you aren’t stuck with just the local pet store (sorry Wyoming).
The Seaside Nature Center at Cape Henlopen state park has several small tanks that are worth a visit if you are in the area. The centerpiece is their 495 gallon two-level touch tank with stingrays, horseshoe crabs, and other species. They also have five 1,000 gallon tanks with local fish species.
Florida: The Florida Aquarium
“Florida Aquarium” by Ekistics Design Studio is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
701 Channelside Drive, Tampa
Florida is another of those states with multiple quality aquariums. One such aquarium is the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. This aquarium features 8 different habitats with 7,000 different aquatic and terrestrial animal species. The wetlands trail exhibit allows you to walk through a simulated wetland environment and view Alligators and other inhabitants from a safe distance.
In addition to these aquarium exhibits, there are additional paid experiences available. These include the wild dolphin cruise and the backstage African penguin pass.
Honorable mention: I can’t talk about Florida aquariums without mentioning the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This aquarium is home to Winter and Hope, the dolphins from the popular “Dolphin Tale” movie. So if dolphins are your thing this aquarium is a must-see!
Georgia: Georgia Aquarium
225 Baker Street Northwest, Atlanta
The Georgia Aquarium has made headlines recently in the TV series “The Aquarium” on Animal Planet. It’s no surprise either considering the scope and size of this aquarium. With more than 60 habitats featured and a total aquarium water volume of 10 million gallons this aquarium is huge. Their largest single aquarium of 6 million gallons holds more water than all of the tanks combined at most other aquarium attractions.
It’s easy to see why many people rank this aquarium as one of the best in the U.S. and the world.
Hawaii: Maui Ocean Center

192 Maalaea Road, Wailuku
With an exclusive focus on native Hawaiian species the Maui Ocean Center is a unique educational experience. The exhibits follow a progression from the waters just off of the beach to 150 foot ocean depth. There are over 2,000 species on display including one of the largest displays of live Pacific corals.
Idaho: Aquarium of Boise
“Boise Aquarium” by cifraser1 is licensed under CC BY 2.0
64 N Cole Rd, Boise
While definitely a smaller aquarium, the Aquarium of Boise is worth the stop if you are in the area. It features 250 different species of animals with 10 different exhibits. My favorites are the ray touch pool and the Amazon exhibit with its silver arowana and pacu.
Illinois: Shedd Aquarium
1200 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago
The Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has many typical marine exhibits but also focuses on a habitat most aquariums do not. The Great Lakes.
This is suiting considering the aquarium sits on the shores of Lake Michigan. In the Great Lakes exhibit, you will get to see many native species as well as invasive species like sea lampreys and Asian carp. The exhibit does a good job of illustrating the negative impact these invaders pose on the native ecosystem.
Indiana: Indianapolis Zoo
“Dolphins, above and beyond” by santheo is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0
1200 West Washington St., Indianapolis
The Indiana zoo has more than just land animals. It’s also home to some very good aquarium exhibits. They’ve got such species as green moray eel, lionfish, sharks, sea horses, and more.
But the main attraction has got to be the dolphins at the St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion. Here there are daily presentations and an underwater dolphin viewing dome.
Iowa: National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium
“Give Me a Hug!” by Chris Smith/Out of Chicago is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0
350 East 3rd Street, Port of Dubuque
This fun little aquarium in Dubuque Iowa is also part museum. There are loads of exhibits that highlight the Mississippi River and surrounding countryside. The exhibits focus on the historical, natural, and cultural topics important to the local area.
On the aquarium side, the star of this show is the giant pacific octopus. But they also have many native and lesser-known fish like the very intriguing paddlefish. And of course the young at heart will also enjoy the cownose ray touch tank.
Kansas: Pratt Fish Hatchery
512 SE 25th Street, Pratt
There are slim pickings for public aquariums in the state of Kansas. But, the Pratt Fish Hatchery makes for a nice little outing. The hatchery consists of 87 culture ponds and two concrete raceways. Fish species raised include walleye, wiper, sauger, saugeye, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill.
In addition to this hatchery, they do have twelve 400-600 gallon aquariums with native Kansas fish species.

Few people think about sharks when they hear the word Kentucky. But at the Newport Aquarium, there are 14 different shark species. These sharks are found at the aptly named Shark Central, Surrounded by Sharks, and Dangerous & Deadly exhibits.
Don’t worry if you’ve seen Jaws too many times and sharks aren’t really your thing. There are lots of other exhibits and animals to see. One of my favorite exhibits is Shipwreck: Realm of the Eels.
Louisiana: Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

501 E Pratt St, Baltimore
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is consistently ranked as one of the top aquariums in the U.S. With over 20,000 specimens and 800 species on display it’s no surprise. But this aquarium’s accolades go beyond just its more than a dozen exhibits.
It is also a non-profit organization that works on conservation initiatives that include things like combating climate change, habitat preservation, and stopping plastic pollution. They also work to rescue and rehabilitate marine animals.

While the tunnel exhibit is the main attraction there are others such as the 2 story rain forest exhibit. Here you will find cockroaches, piranha, poison dart frogs, crocodiles, and more!

While Mississippi does have the new Mississippi Aquarium it’s currently going through some growing pains. At the moment you’re better off spending your money at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

While slightly better off than its neighbor Wyoming, the best aquarium in Montana is at a sporting goods store. The Scheels in Billings has an interesting 16,000-gallon double arch aquarium with three pillars.
While not a destination on its own, there’s a lot to see and do in the store. Did I mention there’s an indoor Ferris wheel?

374 Airport Road, Manteo
The North Carolina state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources administers not 1 but 4 aquariums. While none of them are huge, each one is great in its own right and well worth the visit. They are the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll, Roanoke Island, Jennette’s Pier, and Forth fisher.
But if we could only pick one which is the best? That’s a tough call but I’ll go out on a limb and say the North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island.
