Tips for a smooth day at the Camden waterfront

If you're plugging the address into your GPS, make sure to use 1 Riverside Drive, Camden.Parking at the Hippo or Penguin lots is $10 for most of us, though Gold members get half off and Platinum members park free.You'll pull a ticket at the gate and pay via your phone's QR code or a kiosk in the lobby before you head back to the car.If you happen to be visiting on a weekend, try to arrive by 9:30 AM to snag a spot near the front.

Don't bother bringing the wagon-style strollers; they're strictly banned here.If you need to rent a stroller on-site, a single is $8 and a double is $10, though there’s a $10 refundable deposit. Honestly, if your kids can walk, it’s a lot easier to navigate the narrow halls without one.If you're hoping for a quiet experience, aim to arrive after 1:00 PM on a weekday.Most of the school buses start loading up by then, which makes the Shark Bridge a lot easier to navigate without the crowds.

The food inside is typical pizza and nuggets, but it’s pricey. The good news is that small coolers—under 12x12x10 inches—are allowed, so you can pack your own drinks and sandwiches as long as there’s no glass or alcohol.If you need to step out to the car for something, just stop by the Information Desk to get your hand stamped so you can re-enter later.

How to snag the best price at checkout

Adventure Aquarium uses plan-ahead pricing, so your $32.99 adult ticket today might cost more if you wait until the morning of your trip. Booking at least a few weeks early is the easiest way to lock in the lowest rate. If you’re a local and think you’ll visit more than twice in a year, the $69.99 Silver Membership pays for itself almost immediately.

Before you pay full price, check if your family qualifies for these deals:

  • Free Birthday Entry: If someone in the family has a birthday, they get in free.Just keep in mind you have to show ID at the Box Office on that specific day to get the pass.
  • The Pre-K Pass: For families with little kids, this is a must—it gives free admission for ages 2 to 5 for a whole year if you register and activate it during their sign-up windows.
  • Military and Teacher Discounts: Active duty, veterans, and educators get special rates via ID.me. Teachers should verify through the system online to secure their discount before arriving.
  • CityPASS and Combos: If you're hitting other spots in Philly, the CityPASS can save you up to 51%.For just the zoo, look for the AquaZoo combo which can save you about 30%.

One thing to keep in mind before you hit the "buy" button is the promo code field. The code SAVE50 often works for 50% off bundles or merchandise.If you're visiting between Monday and Thursday, CertBerry can sometimes take 22% off your total. Just remember that tickets are tied to a specific time, so don't be late or you might miss your entry window.

FAQ about discounts

Straight answers — so you can grab the deal and go.

  • Can I visit the aquarium for free?

    Yes, you can get a free admission ticket on your actual birthday if you show proof of age at the Box Office. This only works on the day of your birth, so don't try to use it early or late. It’s a nice way to save about $35 if you’re planning a celebration.

  • What ages get in for free?

    Children under 2 enter for free, and kids ages 2 to 5 can qualify for a free year-long Pre-K pass. To get that pass, you have to register on the aquarium website during the enrollment window and then bring a birth certificate to activate it in person. It’s easily one of the best ways to keep your travel budget under control.

  • How much does parking cost?

    $10 is the standard fee for general visitors and Silver members in the Hippo or Penguin lots. Gold members get a 50% discount and only pay $5, while Platinum members don't pay a cent. The lots are directly across from the building, which is helpful when you're carrying a bunch of gear.

  • Can I bring my own lunch?

    Yes, you're allowed to bring your own snacks and drinks as long as your cooler stays under 12x12x10 inches. Just leave the glass bottles and alcohol at home because security will pull those out during the bag check. It’s a smart move since the on-site cafeteria prices can be a bit steep for a family of four.

  • Are there discounts for military or teachers?

    Yes, active duty military and full-time teachers qualify for discounted rates through the ID.me verification system. You’ll need to do this online before you arrive to secure the savings. Keep in mind these discounts usually don't extend to spouses or other family members.

  • What is the price for a stroller rental?

    $8 is the cost for a single stroller rental, plus a $10 refundable deposit. If you need a double stroller, that will run you $10, and an electric scooter is $30 with a $50 deposit. These are first-come, first-served, so it's a good idea to arrive early if you know you'll need one.

  • Is re-entry allowed?

    Yes, you can leave and return on the same day if you stop at the Information Desk for a hand stamp. This is great if you want to walk over to the waterfront for a quick break or grab something from your car. Without that stamp, you'll be stuck buying another ticket to get back in.

  • Does the aquarium have a monorail or tram?

    No, Adventure Aquarium doesn't have any internal transportation like a monorail, tram, or Safari Cycles. The facility is a single building that's pretty easy to walk through in about 2 hours. You won't need to budget for any extra ride tickets once you're through the doors.
