Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (LLPA) is a world-class nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring people to explore, discover, and learn about Earth's diverse ecosystems. Since opening its new facility in Draper in 2014, LLPA has welcomed over 7 million visitors, offering learning opportunities for all ages and interests. Visitors praise the aquarium's variety of displays and animals, including a captivating shark tank tunnel and a rainforest area. The facility is praised for its accessibility, with ample parking and seating. The on-site cafe offers tasty options, with the pretzels being a particular highlight. While the aquarium may be smaller than some larger counterparts, reviewers find it the perfect size to explore thoroughly in a couple of hours. Annual memberships are popular, allowing for frequent visits, especially on Sundays when early arrival is recommended to avoid the post-noon crowds. Some minor changes, such as the removal of certain food and beverage options, have been noted by long-time members, but overall, the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium continues to provide a fantastic experience for visitors of all ages, with knowledgeable staff and well-maintained exhibits.
I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of species they have and how well they are displayed and explained. Had a wonderful time with my nephew. Well worth the price of admission. Plus a great gift shop!

Wonderful day spent here. So many places to play and things to touch. Bring cards bc they don't take cash not even at the vending machines.
