Parking at the Aquarium is now easier than ever!
On February 3, 2025, LAZ Parking took over management of Adventure Aquarium’s dedicated parking in the Hippo and Penguin lots located directly across from the Aquarium.
Members will now pull a ticket from the parking kiosk at entry. This ticket will be used to pay for parking upon exit, or before returning to the lot by scanning the ticket’s QR code using a mobile device or the parking kiosk in the Main Lobby. All major credit cards are accepted.
Gold and Platinum Members can redeem their parking discount by presenting the parking ticket they received upon entry at the Main Entrance. They will then receive a validation barcode, which can be scanned at exit to apply their discount. All major credit cards are accepted.
Members wishing to pay cash for parking can do so at the dedicated cash kiosk in the Main Lobby only.
*Adventure Aquarium cannot offer parking discounts or refunds to members who park outside the Aquarium’s Hippo and Penguin lots.
