About

The Florida Aquarium is an aquarium and marine-life attraction in Tampa. Galleries trace Florida water from freshwater springs and mangrove wetlands out to a big coral reef habitat, with sharks, rays, sea turtles, otters, penguins and many fish species. An outdoor water play area adds a break for younger kids. The nonprofit behind it runs coral spawning and reef restoration research and sea turtle rehabilitation. Plan two to four hours; add-on animal encounters and behind-the-scenes programs are sold separately.
