The Florida Aquarium

As aquariums go, The Florida Aquarium in Tampa is truly one of the finest. Ranked by Parents Magazine as one of the top 5 kid-friendly aquariums and listed in the top 10 aquariums by TripAdvisor, a travel site that posts ratings and comments by "regular" people, this expansive facility boasts more than 200,000 square feet of exhibits and about 20,000 aquatic plants and animals from around the world, especially Florida.


Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, The Florida Aquarium sits in Tampa's Channelside District. It opened in 1995 and last year welcomed a record 675,000 visitors.
