For those wondering what this place is like, I can speak on the Fort Worth location. We have annual passes and go at least twice a month. It is in a mall that is almost dead, so very few stores left. The attraction itself is pretty low rent as well.
My 10 year old twins love to go because you can actually feed and interact with the animals, but I would not go myself without the kids. Also, be aware that you pretty much cannot do anything without buying tokens, so you are going to have to spend about 20 bucks even with the free admission. So bottom line, if you have kids, do not mind spending about 20 bucks on tokens, and do not mind the less than stellar conditions of the mall and the attraction, then go for it. If you are only going once, I would recommend spending the money for some premium interactions as well.
I know that is not a ringing endorsement, but my kids do have an absolute blast every time we go. Just know what you are getting into. If you come in with the right expectations, you can have a really good time. If you do decide to go, be sure to check the website for any premium attractions you want to do. You'll want to reserve those in advance. And yes, those also cost extra. Even with some premium attractions, you will probably spend a maximum of 2 hours here as it is not very large.
I visited the Connecticut location last month, just before it was shut down.
The tanks were disgustingly filthy. The staff (mostly very young people) were really friendly and helpful when we had questions, couldn't answer any questions we had. I came away with the feeling SeaQuest probably doesn't train their staff well.
How is this compared to a real aquarium or zoo? The NJ one is in a mall!!
Not sure about the other locations, but the one NJ nickel & dime you for everything. You want to pet the animals, that would be 5 tokens (or whatever it was they charge). Not just sea life they have either so tends to smell. Have to say, will not go back there again. Only reason went there b/c of the free tickets from last year's deal.

It works for the NJ location. I just tested it. Make sure it is only the general admission tickets, no extras and use all capital letters for the code CONSERVATION.
