My 13 year old son wanted to swim with the sharks. Since he's under 15, the Aquarium requires that he has an adult with him. And that we sign a waiver. This turned out to be an amazing experience. You're not in a tank over a tank, you're actually in the tank with the sharks, stingrays, barracuda, and sea turtle! We were face to face with Flip at one point.
A fun place to bring the family and see a bunch of cool exhibits. The aquarium has a very hands on feel where the birds fly around you and the fish splash water as you walk by. Even the lemur exhibit was really cool to see them hanging out. For a more relaxing time, I'd head to their largest fish tank. I saw people snorkling with the fishes and even two big sharks. Be sure to buy your tickets online before hand to skip the line and save some money. I had a great time!
We love coming here, it's so bright and clean. Get your tickets online and skip the line and save a little money!! Be prepared to spend a few hours, there are many things to see and do. Pay attention and you can even see some of the animals get fed. You meander through different animal habitats while learning their habits and seeing them up close. Walking through the atrium you see birds flying overhead and catch glimpses of their nests. There is a touch pond where you can hang with the sting rays and then move through and touch starfish and other smaller animals. Learn more about Florida habitats and the animals
Very impressive. It was a prominent place to discover, not only the aquatic animal but also many other kinds of bird, snake, and python. It had a huge tank that had sharks swimming along with many types of fish. The shark presentation was excellent for kids. It would be better if there were more creatures, though. I had the chance to visit here for free as a volunteer on Halloween, so that, it was a great experience.
The rest of the Aquarium has some awesome exhibits and creatures to see. Their gift shop is well appointed and their cafe was acceptable. We're looking forward to when my son's old enough to actually SCUBA dive with the sharks.
Good place to take the kids to learn and see some sea life. Nice big room with a large aquarium about 100 foot wide and 50 foot tall. Can pet sting rays and also have a nice outdoor water park area for the kids. Super expensive photos at the end $45.
