Beat the Crowds

The Aquarium is most crowded on the weekends, during the holiday season and during the summer.

If you do decide to visit on a Saturday or Sunday, you can beat the crowds by coming earlier (between 9:00 am and 10:00 am). On weekdays, school groups visit the Aquarium in the morning, but leave by 2:00 pm.
