When planning a visit to Denver Aquarium, you will notice that the convenient location makes the place easy to access. Remember the exact location is 700 Water Street Denver, CO 80211, just adjacent to the South Platte River.

If you come from Interstate 25 Northbound / Southbound, go north / south and take EXIT 211. Then turn right and head east. If you are already in the downtown area, go west to Platte Street. Turn left and head to Water Street.

Before your visit, also pay attention to the operation hour of both the exhibit and the restaurant. The exhibit will be open to public from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Sunday - Thursday) and from 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. (Friday & Saturday).

The time listed above is when the last tickets are sold. And the restaurant will serve guests from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Sunday - Thursday) and from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Friday & Saturday). So, just take your time.

Another piece of good news for your plan is that parking will be free after 6 p.m. with Aquarium Restaurant receipt. As the Landry's Restaurants, Inc. has long been famed for their excellent catering service, why not combine the visit to aquarium and a nice dining experience together? You will be seated around the 159,000 gallon aquarium with amazing views of many fascinating creatures. It's of fun and also pleasant.

The parking lot is on-site, but the spaces are limited. Thus, you may have to drive across the street for paid parking if unfortunately reaching at the busy time. As you have already known the operation time, try to plan early and arrive in time.

Besides enjoying free parking with a restaurant receipt, you can also save on self parking by becoming a member of the Denver Aquarium. Once you upgrade the annual membership to Captain's Level, you can benefit from their 50% off discount on self parking. Know more about their membership by reading:
