The San Antonio Aquarium, located in San Antonio, Texas, is a for-profit establishment. It is owned and operated by Crysty Covino. The aquarium offers a variety of interactive exhibits where visitors are allowed to touch the animals, providing a unique and engaging experience.
Following the shark abduction incident, a public petition was launched, garnering more than 17,000 signatures. The petition requested the closure of the aquarium's touch pool, citing the potential stress and injury that could be inflicted on the animals by guests.
In November 2018, the Leon Valley Fire Department shut down and evacuated the San Antonio Aquarium due to a number of safety hazards. These hazards were related to the facility's electrical and mechanical systems.
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the San Antonio Aquarium was twice shut down by the Leon Valley Police. The shutdowns were due to the facility violating emergency orders that prohibited groups of 10 or more.

The San Antonio Aquarium offers a mixed experience for visitors. On the positive side, it provides interactive experiences with various marine life and some exotic animals, which can be enjoyable for children. Visitors appreciate the touch tanks and the opportunity to feed certain animals. However, the aquarium has received criticism for its small size and limited exhibits compared to other aquariums. Some visitors have expressed concerns about the conditions of the animals and the overall maintenance of the facility. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm can vary, with some visitors reporting positive interactions while others found the service lacking. While it can be an educational outing for families, particularly those with young children, it may not meet the expectations of those looking for a more comprehensive aquarium experience. The aquarium's value for money is often debated, with some finding the admission price high for the offerings. Overall, the San Antonio Aquarium provides a basic aquatic experience but may fall short for those seeking a more extensive or polished aquarium visit.
