Family fun at The OdySea aquarium in Scottsdale

Our visit to The OdySea aquarium was complimentary and as always all opinions are 100% honest.

If you are local or visiting Scottsdale, Arizona we highly recommend checking out The OdySea aquarium!

Recently, we all got to attend the Grand opening of Monster Fish, their newest attraction at the OdySea, it was so cool! Our eldest is a huge animal lover and she was beyond excited. Over this past summer, she watched and recorded every Monster Fish on Nat Geo.

I have been to several aquariums both as a kid and now with my own kids and this one is my favorite!

We had so much fun learning about different fish and watching the stingrays wiz by us. Did you know some swim as fast as 30 miles an hour! I was laughing trying to get good captures of them with my camera too! Honestly, they were too fast!

This aquarium is built so beautifully, really easy to navigate, something we always appreciate, especially with three small children and its hours of family fun!

A few other favorites… Meeting two penguins up close and personal. For a moment we felt like Mr. Popper’s Penguins and we were all mesmerized! Then, adjacent to the Penguin Encounter are hands-on activities like the giant light bright, water table, and of course an area to dance!

Beyond all this is a really nice place to eat because food and snacks are around the clock with kids. Am I, right? Highly recommend, by the way, the burgers and fries are delicious!

Then we slowly made our way to another touch pool and we saw otters swim and play right before their dinner.

Lastly, we went downstairs to the deep ocean exhibit where there are sharks, rescued sea turtles and so many amazing, different, fish! It is truly breathtaking and marvelous to sit inside the moving theater too.

OdySea in the desert has so much more to offer too like Dolphinaris, Butterfly Wonderland, Pangea Land of the Dinosaurs, Bodies revealed and even Laser Tag. A must see, a place to visit and a destination in Arizona!

Monster Fish exhibition will be open until May 5th. I really hope you get to visit soon!
