Unfortunately, no. Outside food and drinks are not permitted inside the facility. However, your admission tickets are valid for all-day entry, so if you would like to step out for a picnic lunch, you are welcome to do so. Stop by the information desk on your way out to get your hand stamped for easy re-entry during your visit.

Unfortunately, no. For the safety of our animals, we do not allow outside animals to be brought into our facility. Service animals are permitted on the property.

In the past, our popular Community Days didn’t allow guests to enjoy everything the Aquarium offers. Since our last Community Day, we have been working on ways to make the Aquarium more accessible for those who wouldn’t be able to visit otherwise. We have since introduced Lone Star Days, which gives guests a wide variety of days to visit and allows them to explore and enjoy the Aquarium without the crowd.
