"From the outside, the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center looks a little institutional with its simple white façade. But inside, 6,000 square feet of interactive exhibitions dive below the surface of the Keys’ most picturesque places to explore the challenges facing the area. Don't skip the 15 minutes introductory movie, which explains the center’s purpose and will give you good perspective for the rest of your visit, which should include the 2,500-gallon coral reef tank and the replica of Aquarius, the world's only underwater ocean laboratory, which you can walk right through." - Jennifer M. Wood
