This place was full of hands on fun for the kids đ I'm just not a fan of keeping animals locked up for entertainment
đ Family Action Verdict
Strongest draw for kids aged 3â12 who want to touch and feed animals rather than just observe. The reptile collection adds variety beyond standard aquarium fare. Groups and birthday parties are well accommodated. Feeding cup availability is first-come, so ask at the gate upon arrival.

âThe kids always have a good time here. It can get a little crowded and loud, but that doesn't make it any less fun. There's lots of cool reptiles and fish to see.â

Overview
Located at 300 Lackawanna Ave in Scranton, this venue blends a traditional aquarium with a reptile den for a double-dose of animal encounters. The stingray touch tank is a standout â staff demonstrate proper feeding technique and supply food cups on request (availability varies). Horseshoe crabs round out the tactile experience. The venue also hosts birthday parties and school field trips with dedicated packages.
