Exceptional place and really affordable. The RiverQuarium while not very large delivers in a huge way with the fish, reptiles, and birds on offer!The Macaw’s are very healthy, the Piranhas are awesome, but the sturgeon alone is worth the visit!Strongly recommend, you can visit the entirety of the museum in 1-2 hours and worth the stop.

It was a great start! We genuinely enjoyed all of the sites until we got to the turtles and found a clearly dead one (grey/white shell and picked out eyes) and then found another large lizard also slumped dead in an exhibit. We thought it might be sleeping but looking at it you could see it wasnt breathing and its head was starting to go white. Was sad to see those animals because overall we had a great time besides that.

Nice aquarium to spend an hour in. Some of the exhibits need some sprucing up but they were doing construction so maybe that was temporary. The aviary was great, and the blue hole was fascinating. Good for kids, and walking distance to downtown.

Pretty cool its not the Shed aquarium but its a cool distraction for a hour or so

Its okay but the main attraction was being cleaned so we couldnt go there. We paid 60 dollars but most of the stuff was under construction and the lady didnt even tell us. So we just looked at fishes and turtles.

Everything was AWESOME except no one was practicing social distancing. We loved it but itll be a while before we go back because of that.

Absolutely worth the drive. We drove about 2 hours from Tallahassee. We had a blast and enjoyed seeing all of the different river animals. Especially Moonshine the albino alligator. My daughter even had to have her own Moonshine stuffie. 10/10

What a fun experience. Kids thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Flint RiverQuarium. We almost missed the alligators and the aviary. Make sure you don’t miss any areas! Really neat rehabbed wildlife in the outdoor area. The Cormorant is a character! We got to see them at feeding time which really made our day!

Enjoyable day with good friends. All the people we meet along the way were nice and helpful. The aquarium was great with all of the animal species.

We had a great time here! Everything was nice and clean and the tanks looked so nice. I was super impressed. Will definitely be back.

Got to see Scarlet Macaws in aviary...beautiful.

Very nice place to visit and learn about the local rivers and lakes. I hate that because of Covid the touch tank was closed but overall our grandson really enjoyed it.

The animals are fun and interesting to see but the whole building is in dire need of repair and updating.

2.5-went had a great time until towards the end of the visit where we observed quite a few dead animals, large lizards and turtles. get its a small place but you should still take care of the animals.

I have seen a lot of Aquariums, this one while not the biggest is in one of the best buildings. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the neighborhood

Wonderful! We enjoyed everything and the Wild Pacific IMAX was well worth the extra cost.

Very nice set up! My kids loved it!

Went visiting from Arizona. So different from where I live, tons of space to play, great play ground and splash pads a river to play and cool off in with lots of wildlife. Plus the aquarium and lots of shopping is right there.

Great experience for kids and adults. Really enjoyed

This is a very nice small-town aquarium. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good information and healthy looking animals helped make this an enjoyable visit.On a side note, this is a great, solid-feeling place to wait out a tornado (1/22/2017) - the staff was very concerned for our safety.

Great place to take your kids or to visit with family. Lots of wildlife exhibits and a ton of informative and factual information about aquatic life. Facility is generally well maintained and cleaned. Ive been a number of times through the years and will undoubtedly pay more visits in the future.

Our little one had so much fun walking around all the creatures... And climbing in the maze... And adults can see and learn a lot too!

Its wonderful every time we go. There are lots of wonderful displays. I do wish they would fix the lights in the indoor playground. Its very dark in there now.

Love this place very frienly oriantated. Great place to take kids. I went with school trip and was amazed. Will definatly go back again.

It was fun. The slide was closed though, which was understandable. Still sad though.

Long review below, so...TL;DR - this is a VERY cool place, great for both families and inquisitive adults. Definitely visit for a unique and educational experience.Full review:This is a VERY cool place. I was in Albany from Texas working on a local project and had some unexpected free time. I saw signs for this location as I drove into Albany, and thought it would be something unique and neat to check out. Because of the location and the name, I expected it to be small and, honestly, underwhelming. I mean, what could you really exhibit for JUST ONE river?? Most AQUARiums I have visited can fit the topic of River Ecosystem into just one (typically small-ish) exhibit in their lineup, after all.It definitely isnt huge, so expectation = reality here. The name Flint Riverquarium pretty much sets the expectation that no other bodies of water are covered outside of the Flint River.I was NOT prepared to be BLOWN AWAY with the overall experience. For what seems like a fairly narrow topic, the facility gives a really nice, cohesive introduction and educational immersion into the Flint rivers multiple (and extremely unique and diverse, I might add!) ecosystems and habitats. The exhibits are visually attractive and well maintained, and layout allows you to meander through each exhibit without much trouble (sorry, couldnt help myself with the river pun ). Content is nice balance of interactive games and exhibits for younger visitors with plenty of interesting exhibits and information for curious adults. I love that many of the exhibits highlight local plants and animals that you may not see in a standard aquarium exhibit (check out that ENORMOUS snapping turtle!!). It adds a nice regional flavor/flair and keeps the exhibits fresh.Hats off to whomever had the vision to design and build this gem. As a tourist destination, it successfully highlights something that is unique and special to Albany, GA and the surrounding region, and provides stimulating activity for all visitors. hope to return and visit again, and 10/10 would recommend to anyone planning a visit to Albany, GA.

I love Fish and fIshing, My wife and I went with My Sons Class (Hes Autistic) and He Was excited and I Think I was More Excited.

Wish they would put a little more effort into this place. A lot of potential there. Its an okay spot for a rainy day. The little ones enjoyed it.

Great place in Albany to take children. My son loved the turtles so its the only pictures I had.

I think that the RiverQuarium is pretty good. I certainly wouldnt say that it is exceptional, but it is a good distraction for an hour or two. The flow of the aquarium was not a cohesive story of the Flint. There is saltwater aquaria mixed in. It has the start of something great, it just needs to seize upon what makes the Flint special and edit the rest.

We had a great time! I was worried my 3 year old with autism wouldnt be able to handle it, but he enjoyed everything about the aquarium. A great inexpensive family trip!

Wonderful experience with this aquarium. Clean, with a large variety of displays, I could of sat for hours just watching the fish.Also have an aviary with many different birds in a natural setting, and an albino alligator!

Came for a birthday party!! It was an amazing experience. We had soo much fun!!

Such a gem! We really enjoyed our visit here. There are a lot of species to see, including fish, turtles & tortoises (including snapping and alligator snapping turtles), salamanders, eels, alligators and even birds. There are large, well-designed viewing areas that really allow you to take in the full experience, as well as smaller exhibits that you can see up close. Dont miss the hatchery -- seeing shark eggs & tiny baby turtles was a highlight of our visit.

I love this aquarium..nice family getaway

We always have a great time. It was open for a little while on Easter Sunday so we took advantage.

The exhibits were really cool! Im sad I havent been here sooner. I definitely recommend this placeI wish there was more staff to help answer questions about some animals, and some of the windows looking into exhibits need cleaning real bad, but I understand that this is Albany and things like that cost money for staffing.

Very big and pretty place. Different DJs on each level. There were several cash bars all over the place.

Im giving 3 stars ONLY bc my 19 month old daughter LOVED it and had a great time. Overall, the facility only deserves about 1 star as it is currently.-As soon as you pay and start walking up the stairs, theres a water leak thats caused damage to the wall. It had been raining Saturday, so there was an active leak.+The images on the walls have been updated and are pretty cool.-The interactive activities do not work. The water table has always been my favorite. I was so ready to go play with it, only to find it dry and no water. The weather game does not work. The water works wall half works, but you can hardly see it due to all the build up on the glass. Its also all nasty looking inside from scum/mold looking stuff.-Theres only 1 sea horse. Only 1 shark egg. Not much to see there.-Only 1 tank has a stool for small children to stand on. Why not make it easier for smaller children to see in ALL tanks? My daughter literally kept trying to pull herself up on the ledge of tanks because she likes to be independent. LET THE LITTLE KIDS SEE THE FISH. That would be a relatively inexpensive upgrade.+We went later in the day and it wasnt busy, so we were able to take our time and not bother or be bothered by anyone else.-It was still full price admission for 2 adults ($19) for a broke down aquarium visit.+The only reason it was worth it was my daughters enjoyment.

Enjoyed the many exhibits. Large aquariums dedicated to animals in local ecosystems. Gentleman in the Aviary was a true gem. Wow! Sadly, Most of the rest was figure it out yourself

Cool place to visit, Nice part of town. Flint River & Park just behind the place with some nice views

Really enjoyed the Flint RiverQuarium. It was devided into small pictures of different kind of fish and sea life.

A little pricey but it was well worth the money. The children had a wonderful time.

Great experience at sleep with the fishes! The girl scouts loved their time at the aquarium.

Great family trip! Great price! Cool fish!

Great experience for babies, kids, teens, and adults. The people are friendly and let us lead ourselves through, however did answer any questions we had. Plus the price is barely any, which means it can fit any low budget! Definitely reccomend visiting!!

Unique and family friendly. A wonderful variety of aquatic life and birds that are native to the Flint River Basin.

It was fun for what it is. Thought it would be bigger, but I was still impressed.

Beautiful place. Loved seeing all the different exhibits. Really enjoyed seeing Moonshine the albino alligator

Beautiful space and building.

Loved it...the kids loved it, only suggestion would be to clean the glass as it made photo ops very difficult in some instances, otherwise, highly recommended!

Nice little gem in Albany. Small so a quick visit is possible(1-1.5hrs). Some of the displays need a little work as their age is showing but otherwise nice place to visit.

The facility is very nice. We went on a week day, however, I was surprised we were the only visitors there. It was 8$ for Seniors and 9$ for adults. I do not know what student and children prices are but it is listed on the website.The facilities is nice but needs a little ( not a lot) of sprucing up, however, if attendance is not higher..... I can not imagine what the up keep cost are.The Aviary is small but several coastal birds and songbirds to see.I would definitely recommend going and more people need to go and support this wonderful place.

Nothing like the website ...the pricing doesnt match what you get. Overall a disappointment after driving two hours for it!

Its a great place to see some cool water animals and small enough place young children can make it all the way through without getting tired and crabby. Admission is reasonable.You can go down to the river edge and step into the water and watch little fishes along the edge. Also an area where the kids can play and run through water that shoots up from the ground. They can climb on animal statues and has slides and such. Play area is free.

Get place to take the kids and learn about all types of animals

Nice. Great place to bring the kids

Its a small aquarium compared to the ones Ive visited before. Its a great place to visit and have a lot of marine life that is unique and call the Flint their home. Some you wont find anywhere else.

The kids had a great time. They were especially enjoying the alligators and the sturgeon fish.

Enjoyed the exhibits. Great location. Area around aquarium was beautiful. The inside needs some management and community support. The place has had a potential to be new start to a blighted city.

It is a nice place to hangout with your friends at weekends. There are a good variety of aquatic life that would not let you down. And do not forget the elegant presence of the one-in-a-million albino baby aligator.The price is cheap, about $11 for 2 people with a student ID.

If you are near and want to go somewhere that makes your day. this will do. a must see. the zoo nearby is nice too. be mindful of the heat.

It was cool there it was my field trip :D I would to love yo help yall

Very fun for the kids

Small and outdated. But for the price it was ok.

It is not your typical aquarium. It is a smaller aquarium that primarily features aquatic life from the Flint River Region. It is educational and interactive, which is ideal for my children. They even have an aviary with birds commonly found near the Flint River. Moonshine their albino alligator was my favorite part to see.

Had a good time. There is a bird house and a nature trail. If you love wildlife and want somewhere cheap for a family trip this is a good place to go.

Needs funding. . . help the Birds... And fish too lol

Not very crowded

Me and my family enjoyed ourselves

Nice aquarium. Not many animals but enough to do

The area I visit nor clean went to cater kitchen was nasty coolers not working

Great place to visit with the family. We all loved it. Well maintained and clean facilities. Prices are reasonable as well.

We loved the aquarium. Great prices and wonderful variety of fish.

Took my kids there and they luved it... The exbits are nice and I really enjoyed the underwater view

I took my almost 2 year old granddaughter. Most of the tanks were low enough that she could see from the stroller. She loved the crawling tube with the openings into aquariums, and they were bug enough for her mom to climb through with her. Shes been saying swish ever since.

Great education and fair prices.

Took the family. Nice exhibits but the building is a little old. They do good with what they have though. My 11 year old daughter had a blast and that’s what counts the most.

Ive been several times myself and have enjoyed it each time! Its not a huge aquarium, but has a lot of interesting and educational exhibits. They have all kinds of fresh water fish, some salt water exhibits, turtles, alligators, and an aviary. The price is good for the experience. The Flint River is directly behind the aquarium and is a nice stroll in the park by the river, kids can play on the playground, or grab a bite to eat nearby.

Very nice aquarium set in the arts district of Albany Georgia. While small it makes up for it in quality. All of the exhibits are well thought out and maintained. I was pleasantly surprised with the entire visit and we be returning in the future. Spend a couple of hours there, you will enjoy yourself.

Nice nature adventure for the kids

We had a blast. Amazing place and beautiful animals

Fun place. Super small. Great place to learn about their local ecosystem.

I had a great time walking around the aquarium. They have a good collection of freshwater animals from the local area to admire, as well as some from the Gulf Coast as well.

This is a small, but very nice, aquarium featuring various wildlife from the rivers and coastal areas of Georgia. There is a science center and theater next to the aquarium. The aquarium itself is easily completed in about an hour. If youre passing through Albany this is a perfect stop for a travel break and leg stretch.

Had a great time

We took a group of high school students to the Flint Riverquarium to pass some time before we returned to school. The staff were very accommodating and the facilities were great. Our students enjoyed looking at the fish and the birds as well as the hands-on activities.

Neat place. Great staff. Turtle Park is nearby.

Love this place. Affordable and great place to visit with family .

Had a wonderful time with my 5 month old!!

Amazingly nice. Really cool aquarium.

Super educational aquarium with a lot of local aquatic species, and they help with conservation! Very enjoyable experience, particularly the open-air tank and the aviary.

It was nice for the price. It’s a small aquarium but very neat. I loved all the fish.

We had such a wonderful time

Went here as a field trip, great experience

Great place to take the family for a cheap fun learning experience about Georgias lakes, rivers, and the many species of fish and birds that live here.

Went on a school field trip. Had a wonderful time. Great info and pictures.

Had a great experience. My family love going here every few months. Great day trip. Awesome fish and birds to see.

Large aquarium with a great viriety of fish.

Not expensive. About an hour thru. Great pictures on some of the walls. Preschooler loved the crawl tunnel but it was very dark inside. The building has a lot of water damage.
