Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters lets visitors hand-feed rays, sharks, and eels through a passthru hole in the coral reef tank, or assist a marine biologist in a shark training session at Big Shark Bay. The facility houses nurse sharks, moray eels, gators, seahorses, 300-pound grouper, rays, turtles, and tortoises. Touch tanks let guests interact with starfish, urchins, horseshoe crabs, and hermit crabs. Additional encounters include a lagoon snorkel, stingray cove, nursery tank visits, and private guided tours with marine biologists. The aquarium includes the Eagle Ray Cafe onsite. Located in Marathon, Florida, the attraction opens daily and sells tickets online at floridakeysaquariumencounters.com. Active military personnel receive 10 percent off admission. A Family of Four annual pass costs $285, down from the regular price of $300.
