The Florida Aquarium, praised by National Geographic and local publications, is independently operated and a cornerstone of Tampa’s waterfront. With immersive exhibits like the Wetlands Trail and a two-acre outdoor Splash Pad, it’s a favorite for both education and play. The aquarium’s focus on Florida marine life and conservation, along with hands-on touch tanks, give families an up-close look at the region’s watery wonders.
