Your entire visit to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay will generally take no more than one to two hours, from the first exhibit to the last.
The Shark Reef Aquarium is open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM, but after 7 PM, they won’t allow anyone else in.
Shark Reef Aquarium offers two kinds of tickets: “Timed Entrance” and “Anytime.” Under a Timed Entrance, you must enter the aquarium at a specific time.
If you aren’t satisfied with a simple tour, you can pay extra for some add-ons to make your experience even more memorable.
Buying this package gives you access to the multiple animal exhibits of Shark Reef Aquarium, as well as a 45-minute feeding session with sea turtles.
A guide will lead you as you grab a handful of krill, fish, and shrimp to place into the stingray pool to feed them. You can even touch the slimy stingrays if you want.
