it had alot of kool fish. it was by the water and it made it seam home for the fish. it was a really nice place.

Nice diversion for an hour or two. But have been to many other aquariums that are far better. The manatees are the big attraction. The dolphin show was uninspiring. Staff was friendly but uninformed.

Friendly atmosphere, lots to see. Always fun to see Manatees and dolphins. Can get close and touch many animals. Take your kids!

I have been to the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium many times in my life and everytime was a very pleasurable experience. I cannot visit the Sarasota area without visiting this lovely place. This is a wonderful, educational, and fun place to take children and adults of all ages. Everytime I visit I learn something new about a creature that I ...

This was a very educational experience. The Marine Biologist was extemely knowledgeable
and made the ride on moat very interesting. I didn't particularly care for some of the marine animals because they were a little too creepy for my taste, but the children they came along were alot braver that I and they truly enjoyed the aquarium and the boat ride without being afraid. I was the big chicken!!!

it was awsome. I loved it i am going to go back agian next year! I would visit this aquarium for anyone age five and over

This aquarium is small and hospitable. Volunteers at almost every exhibit, eager to tell you about the animals. Touch tanks, manatees, and the Giant Squid are undescribable. Everyone was sunburnt and the weather was bad that day anyway, so it gave us something interesting to do. We had a great time!

This is one of the few aquariums that doesn't pride itself on pomp and brouhaha. This is real, fun and educational. Be sure to get T-Shirt and show your support.
Bring your kids!!!

Mote was the coolest place I have been to that teaches about animals. I live in Ohio and was there one time but it was the coolest thing I have ever seen
