The Florida Aquarium

We had a wonderful time at The Florida Aquarium! The exhibits were well-designed and informative, especially the touch pool where we got to pet some friendly rays and stingrays. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The cafe had a good selection of food and drinks, and the overall atmosphere was clean and inviting. We also appreciated the educational initiatives they have in place. While the aquarium could benefit from more interactive exhibits geared towards older children, overall it was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend it

My daughter and I went to the aquarium yesterday. We were surprised to see the admission at $50! On the display screen, there was an advertisement for a yearly pass for $100. We took advantage of that. Because I had a teacher pass before, I was able to get 20% off of the annual pass. How cool!? Now I'll get to bring my daughter back for the puffins! Plus, they have an awesome outdoor play area where the splashpad used to be. We can't wait to go back.

Very nice place to visit with kids. But adults would enjoy the visit as well. Has almost all kinds of fish regardless of their type. Fun and enjoyable place. Highly recommended to educate yourself.

This is the second time I visited the Florida aquarium. As usual, a lot of fun and educational. Everything is close-up and interactive. There are birds that are free to roam around like they are in the wild. They have a lot of exhibits and takes around 2 1/2 to 3 hours to visit everything slowly. Right now, there was two exhibits that were under construction. You can pet jellyfish and stingrays which is really cool. There is also a food court and playground for kids. A little pricey but definitely worth it

We visited on a Monday before our flight, and it did not disappoint! We were able to touch stingrays, and gawk at all of our favorite fishy friends. There were also quite a few warm blooded creatures. The layout was an easy, stress-free meander around the building, beginning on the 2nd floor & working our way down the ramp to the ground level.

The aquarium was really nice! The staff were extremely accommodating. I had trouble showing tickets because my mother in law made the reservation and my attempts to get them failed so the lady at guest services let her manager know and they let my son and I go in. They have an array of marine life. It was great experience. My son loved it. They also have a playground area and do live shows for the kids. There is parking in the garage for $20. Well worth the visit.

Entry was very pricey, $44 per adult. However on their website it says $33 which is not true (unless it might be online offered) It doesn’t seem worth $44, basically $95 for two adults. It definitely was a big and there was cool animals to see. I would recommend if you have kids, It’s very informative and most spots have interactive screens to learn more about the animals. Staff where nice and pretty clean environment overall. I would say really consider if it worth $44

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Florida Aquarium, and it truly was a phenomenal experience. The underwater world on display is absolutely stunning — so vibrant, diverse, and mesmerizing. The aquarium beautifully showcases the unique marine life that makes Florida’s and the world’s waters so special. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable thanks to the friendly and attentive staff. Every team member seemed genuinely knowledgeable and eager to share their passion for our underwater species. They answered all our questions with enthusiasm, which made the visit even more enriching. The entire experience enlightened me about the incredible biodiversity beneath the surface and deepened my appreciation for these creatures and their fragile habitats. I’m excited to return once the new construction is complete, as I hear it will only enhance the exhibits and overall experience tenfold. A truly wonderful visit — highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring the magic of Florida’s underwaters and all bodies around the world!
