We have to been to a couple of diffeent aquariums, and this was really a waste of money. It is small and old, needs a good bit of repairs. My son did enjoy the dive shows but they are short and not really worth the wait. The new GA aquarium, and Sea World was a lot nicer. The Aquarium was hard to find, we did go see a movie at the mall that is by the aquarium though.
The Aquarium itself was nice. But the best overall part of the "aquarium" was the ecotour towards the end our trip there. A nice little boat ride/tour of the Gulf of Mexico was gorgeous! Despite not seeing any dolphins, it was a nice time on the water! I highly recommend it!
being that Florida is a peninsula that rest right on Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, "The Florida Aquarium" was a bit of a let down. Georgia's Aquarium (located in Atlanta) is much better than this. The had a couple of exotic sea creatures there but I couldn't help feeling like I was ripped off. It just wasn't worth the money I paid for admission.
For the money this place is not worth it- The employees are unfriendly. The exhibits are small and are starting to look old. I would not recommend going here to anyone. There are far better places to visit in Tampa then this aquarium!
The Florida Aquarium surpised me with the cleanliness and overall appearance. It was easy to navigate and was a great place to beat the heat in air-conditioned bliss.
The animals really were showcased nicely in the exhibits and the entire Wetlands Gallery is housed in a spectacular glass dome. The birds fly free and you feel like you are in the ...
The Florida aquarium in Tampa was the 1st place that caught my eye while visiting there and I like fish I've had 1 of my own and family members also have aquariums at home too.The 1st thing you must realize is that this is not Sea World There won't be Killer Whales,Dolphins,or Manatees law prohibits these creatures from being kept ...
Seems very overpriced for size and what you get. Not impressed for being a aquarium only. Most zoos have just as nice aquariums. Want more money as soon as you walk in door trying to take your picture.
Our kids are still talking about it! Our 8 year olds got into the coral reef tank wearing wetsuits and equipped with modified SCUBA equipment (yes, regulators,air tank, and all) and swam around with the fish! We watched their intruction from the top of the aquarium where they entered the tank and then from the observation area below. It is ...
Over priced, small aquarium. Not even worth the parking fee. From the moment you walk up to the window and in the door they only seem to want to run a business for profit not nature.
