Great Aquarium! - This is a great aquarium to take your family. A lot of free interactions . The only thing is it could have a few more signs pointing you in the right direction better.

Fantastic - Best aquarium I’ve been too! Finding Street parking normally takes about 10 mins unless you are okay with paying 20-75$ on parking.

I would recommend to visit! - The Florida Aquarium was an amazing experience with beautifully curated exhibits and interactive displays that were both fun and educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the marine life was vibrant and well cared for. It’s a perfect destination for families or anyone looking to learn more about ocean conservation and enjoy a unique day out.

Wednesday afternoon at Florida Aquarium, Tampa - Small compared to other Aquariums like National Aquarium. The focus is on conservation, education. Which is good. But listening to the crowd, not everyone seemed to get that fact. Somewhat geared to younger audience. Fun informative. Many areas closed for renewal. Entrance fee is Priced a bit high. We got a $10 discount per person by buying tickets through Viator. Parking is priced very high. $5 an hour.
