About The Florida Aquarium

The Florida Aquarium in Tampa lets visitors walk alongside loggerhead sea turtles, Māori wrasse, and blue speckled grouper in the Heart of the Sea habitat, or cruise the bay on a 72-foot catamaran searching for bottlenose dolphins and birds. The facility offers hands-on encounters: feed and train cownose stingrays, meet African penguins, or experience feeding a two-toed sloth. Interactive STEAM programs bring science and ecosystems to life, while a virtual reality experience lets visitors explore the ocean in 360 degrees from a motion seat. The aquarium hosts scheduled events including Member Night, Parents' Time Off, After School Mondays, and Fridays I'm In Love. A visit suits families and educators seeking animal interaction and marine learning. Located in Tampa, Florida, active or retired military presenting a valid ID at ticket windows receive 10 percent off the entire order, according to flaquarium.org.
