TripAdvisor rates The Florida Aquarium as one of the top 10 aquariums in the whole USA, and it's not hard to see why. From glimpsing rare seahorses and stroking stingrays to learning about our endangered oceanic friends, each exhibit is an exciting and educational dive into our oceans!
Skip the line and dive right into the inviting waters of The Florida Aquarium.
On the Wetlands Trail see alligators, otters, and pythons, and in Bays & Beaches, learn about endangered green sea turtles and find out what a stingray feels like over at Stingray Beach.
In the Journey to Madagascar you'll meet lemurs, chameleons, geckos and even be able to crawl inside a tree full of hissing cockroaches (if you dare)! Marvel at the jellyfish of magical Moon Bay, and even touch these graceful cold-water creatures who, you'll be relieved to hear, don't sting!
