There is much to see at the Florida aquarium and visitors will never be disappointed with all of the exhibits that are available. There is an expanded shark collection, you can dive in our shark tank, or see ocean predators and spineless wonders from around the world, even rare leafy sea dragons from Australia. There is also an invasive species exhibit with games for kids of all ages and plus playful river otters, American alligators, free-flying birds, a giant Pacific octopus, and more for you to see!

There are also dive shows daily at the Florida aquarium including one with a diver in our shark tank. Patrons can explore the Bay on the Eco-Tour aboard a 64-foot catamaran! This ride can be pretty exciting all by itself without even seeing some of the many aquatic residents. Visitors can also take part in close-up animal encounters, and feel around our two touch tanks, and more.
