Regular price admissions in person were much less than paying the Viator price on the site. We utilized a credit and still over paid. Entire time spent was less than 45 minutes as the aquarium itself was very small.
Small but cute aquarium. The fish tanks, sea turtles, and sting rays were awesome! They even have a rescued sea turtle with a prosthetic “arm.” Definitely recommend stopping by.
A little tour of the Key West aquarium on a sunny day Wasn’t too expensive but was a little shabby The staff however were very helpful and informative and answered any questions we had The project itself is worthwhile but could do with being updated Great staff
We’re thrilled you stumbled upon our aquarium. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we hope to see you again soon!
super small aquarium. the tanks don’t have much to see in them and we finished the whole aquarium in 20 minutes.
We really enjoyed this! Shark feedings, guided tours and more! Also a great escape to the AC during a very hot and humid day. The staff was great, even offering free ponchos when a mid-afternoon pop-up storm occurred during the outdoor feeding demonstration. Not a large aquarium, but a quality one. Definitely worth the price of admission for a little education and break from the Duval crawl!
Cool aquarium in the middle of all the attractions. Lots of fish and sealife from the local area. Not the largest but more than you think inside. Touch tanks and your able to touch a gator as well. Definitely worth a stop if looking for things to do in old Town Key West. Dog Friendly as well!!
This a great experience. It was not a very large facility but a nice display of animals to view. The staff was very professional and helpful. I was experiencing a heat exhaustion and the staff was very attentive. They provided me with a chair, water, and even an ice pop with electrolytes in it. I don’t know the two young ladies names that assist me but please give my kudos to the both of them🙏🏾🥰💯.
Such a great experience! We went early and it was the best! Not too busy or loud and the animals were very active. Great staff and just a sweet walk thru space.
You go through it quickly, but it does the job. And you can touch horseshoe crabs!!
This is a great place to bring friends and family to learn all about the amazing aquatic animals throughout Florida. The ticket offers 2-day admission, so you can go one day and go back there the next day.
