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.
Are these only valid for the day you purchased or they remain valid for use later, for example 4 weeks from now?
Website mentions: PLEASE NOTE: Admission Tickets and Token Packages never expire, and will be honored without restriction. Because of this, we have a strict no refund policy on all admission and token products.
Glad they let you choose a date now. The last time they had a free ticket that you can go anyday, it was extremely packed that you had to wait in long lines. It was hectic. Hopefully this time, it should be less crowded.
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.
This company has been fined by the USDA for animal welfare, the brother went to prison for animal trafficking, and guests have been injured there. There are reports also that they do not feed the animals so they are forced to interact with visitors who pay to feed them. The USDA issued SeaQuest Fort Worth in Texas a critical repeat citation after five sugar gliders died after they became trapped in a PVC pipe.
I'm not willing to take my children there given all those issues and the repeat injuries to guests.

What are the tokens for? Is each place the same despite the location?

SeaQuest is not accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums
I can't speak for the other locations, but we went to the Utah Layton one and I was a little concerned by what I saw. The place is a little cramped and I wasn't thrilled about the animal care. Even if this is a good deal, I won't be going back
