My recent visit to Auburn Aquarium was a captivating journey into the enchanting world beneath the waves. This local gem provided an immersive experience that left me enthralled by the diverse marine life on display, though there were a few aspects that could be improved. From the moment I stepped through the entrance, I was greeted by a serene ambiance that simulated the underwater environment. The carefully crafted tanks were home to a variety of aquatic species, ranging from vibrant tropical fish to mesmerizing coral formations. The layout of the aquarium allowed for easy exploration, with well-marked paths that guided visitors through the different exhibits. The highlight of my visit was the variety of marine life on display. Each exhibit seemed to transport me to a different part of the ocean, showcasing the beauty and diversity of underwater ecosystems. The inclusion of interactive displays and educational information enhanced the experience, making it both entertaining and informative. The staff at Auburn Aquarium were friendly and willing to answer questions about the exhibits and the marine life. Their passion for the subject matter was evident, and they contributed to a more engaging visit. However, there were a few areas where improvements could be made. Some tanks appeared slightly overcrowded, and enhancing the overall spaciousness of the exhibits could create a more comfortable viewing experience. Additionally, I noticed that the lighting in some areas was a bit dim, which occasionally made it challenging to fully appreciate the colors and details of the marine life. In conclusion, Auburn Aquarium offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the underwater world, with its diverse marine life and immersive displays. While there were a few areas that could be enhanced for an optimal experience, the overall visit was both enjoyable and educational. If you're seeking an opportunity to connect with aquatic life and experience the wonders of the ocean, Auburn Aquarium is a local destination that offers a captivating underwater adventure.

Huge range of fresh water tropical fish particular any kind of tetra or rainbow fish you want. Beautiful fresh water set up in store. There used to be a parrot up the back of the store who was very cute. Now there's budgies and cockatiels. Parking outside the shop, they share a foyer with Domayne. Staff are helpful, particularly Sam the man! Full of fish knowledge and gave us great advice on compatible tank mates. I love how they're the only people in five aquariums I know that stock emperor tetras. Oh and they stock a range of shrimps as well for those aquascape enthusiasts. Thanks Sam we'll visit again soon

Hi! I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to one of your staff members. Unfortunately, I can't recall their name, but they went above and beyond to save the life of my betta fish. I had sought advice from multiple aquarium stores, but none of their suggestions proved effective. I am immensely thankful to your staff member, whom I believe is a true savior, for providing guidance and significantly improving my fish's quality of life. I highly, highly recommend your store and would greatly appreciate it if you could pass along my heartfelt regards to your exceptional staff. Thank you once again.

Love this place! New owner is lovely, he has helped us with our amazing marine tank. Staff are all lovely and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. As beginners in the marine game at the time, the staff here have spend lots of time explaining how to maintain our new tank. I find the shop to have a variety of live stock and well stocked shelves. I find the pricing very fair ,and most times, I find the coral costs extremely reasonable. I recommend this place for all your aquarium needs. Looking forward to see what new changes the new owner will be doing in the near future! My go to store, always!

  • Charlotte Shaw

Even though the store has lots of variety in fish, stock, and staff always helpful. I do feel they are understaffed and don't get time to look after the fish/tanks as much as they should. Multiple times, I've gone in and seen sick fish still for sale! On Sunday, there were two fish dead in one tank growing white fungus over them floating in the tank, and they were still selling the other fish out the exact same tank. Do better at looking after your fish, will not be buying from here nor returning. Staff seemed run of their feet with no time to do anything as so many customers.

  • Kathleen White

I popped into the store last weekend to buy some new fish and was served by this lovely young girl by the name of Claire. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the huge range of aquatic life they had on offer at the store, I was very impressed! There was a very long line of customers and the poor girl had to serve everyone by herself (unsure of where the other staff were...) but would definitely recommend anyone to check it out, their prices seemed very reasonable compared to others I've seen.

  • Nicole Lehmann

Great range and knowledgeable team. I only have a tiny set up but I love it. Picked up some great plants and a snail. What was the best was the advice I was given on managing the environment in the tank. Very grateful for this. I had allowed algae to proliferate so the photo of my tank is missing driftwood whilst I divest them of the algae that was covering them. I spent about $64 on plants, $7.00 on a snail and $35 on a product to manage algae moving forward.

It’s absolutely beautiful! Once you step inside it’s like another world. The aquarium section greets you with an array of amazing tanks of various sizes and shapes. The layout is easy to access and they have very knowledgeable staff on hand for any queries about aquariums. They also have beautiful terrariums and a great variety of aquascaping needs at very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend visiting this place it’s mind blowing!

  • Wendy Lo

4.1 - Surprised at the amount of different Tanks and Fish displayed in this shop - they even have some empty tanks and a plant area!! The plants are rather expensive but it was nice to have a look but I just loved looking at all the different fish. I sent some prices to a friend who has huge fish tanks. It is apparently expensive though!

  • Isabel Casey

This place has EVERYTHING! Decided to visit after reading other reviews & I was in heaven. Large range of plants & fish, also indoor plants out the back. Massive shop, everything you need in the one spot. Staff are super friendly & helped me whilst I had my 2 year old with me, very easy visit. Wish I knew of this place sooner!

  • mathangan paskarajothy

I joined my friend to pick up some things for his aquarium and after talking to the staff was inspired to build some terrariums. A particular staff member, Shannon, was extremely helpful. Not only did he explain everything I needed he help me fill my terrariums with the right plants and gave me some tips and pointers.

  • Thomas Wong

This place has an awesome collection of everything. Saltwater, freshwater, plants, decorations, logs and accessories. Even sting ray, koi, axolotyl. It's a treat for the kids walking through and seeing everything. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Will be going back every few weeks to check on new livestock
