Austin Aquarium hopes to inspire a new generation of ocean explorers and conservationists from Greater Austin through education and shared experiences with live animals in order to create an ever-expanding appreciation for our planet’s oceans, rainforests and deserts. The experience will instill respect and awe for species they don’t see every day. Students will expand their understanding of our ecosystems as they remain engaged throughout the field trip for maximized learning.

Austin Aquarium hosts over 30 exhibits and more than 2,500 animal species! Interact with sharks, stingrays, sea jellies, octopuses, birds, reptiles, amphibians, tropical and cold water fish, and so much more!
