Tips from locals
A lovely aquarium that plays a crucial role in Gulf Central Florida!
35 Minutes away, this aquarium has a variety of aquatic life including manatees, sea turtles, sharks, sting rays and otters.
Great for all ages - A gigantic fish tank with tarpon, and wonderful exhibit on sea turtles.
This is a wonderful aquarium located on the south end of Longboat Key just before you reach St. Armands Circle. Perfect for families with children. They also offer exploration boat tours on the Sarasota Bay. I recommend calling in the morning to book your afternoon or evening boat tour. Pricing for the boat tour is separate from aquarium admission.
