Great for everyone!
By ,
I've been to the aquarium on every trip to Key West. It's a great place to learn about local fish and reptiles. My husband and I have recently become SCUBA divers and it's neat to see the fish you just swam with close up! The huge grouper is great, he's very friendly and it feels like he recognizes us each time. There's also a Bull Shark in the outside area that is beautiful and makes you realize how massive these guys are. It's a great learning experience. FYI...the outside shark tank was filled with dirt and debris after the most recent hurricane, it's all been restored, but I saw it when it wasn't. It's great to see that they've recovered. Like much of Key West, this structure can survive nearly anything.

Excellent little attraction!
By ,
What a nice little aquarium, very much hands on. I think it was well worth the price. Some aquariums are over done and mostly hands off, not this one. Keep up the great work!

We enjoyed the aquarium in Key West it was full of information about the area sea life. Was cool to touch a Nurse Shark and see them up close.

Not really worth the money if both parents come along. Should be a cheaper family ticket since there are very few exibits

did not see a big grouper or a tank that a big grouper can fit in. some of the fish were interesting. the turtles looked like they were not going to make it much longer. would not recommend visiting in the summer because there is no ac

small, but interesting
By ,
the aquarium was small, but interesting. they had many tropical fish and sharks in indoor and outdoor tanks. they have tours/feedings several times a day. try to get in on a tour/feeding. the interactive tank is neat. pulling sea creatures out of the water can be an experience. watch for the biting animal sign on some displays. the building is not air conditioned, so be prepared to sweat and bring along water. there is a conch fritter stand just outside the front doors. i found this to be interesting as the conchs are on display at the aquarium, but you can eat them outside.

Dissappointing
By ,
This aquarium was a complete disappointment, there weren't enough exhibits for the money they charged. We had free tickets but if we would have paid I would have asked for my money back.

Good for the kids
By ,
This is a small aquarium with not much out of the ordinary. The touch tanks with the nurse sharks and horseshoe crabs will please the little ones.

Don't miss it!
While this is a very small aquarium, it's wonderful! As soon as you enter, you see the Touch Tank. Kids will love putting their hands in to pull out all sorts of creatures - starfish, sea cucumbers, horseshoe crabs, etc. Make sure you go around the times when they're feeding the sharks - it's great to watch. You can also pet a baby shark too before they do the feeding. It's definitely fun to do in Key West!
