Admission from $39.20.
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.
