Aquariums of the Atlantic:

Journey through the Science Center's 3,000 square foot gallery of saltwater and freshwater aquaria. As you explore, you will encounter many shark, stingray, fish, invertebrate, and reptile species native to Florida, as well as species from around the world. Dive into mangrove habitats, learn about Florida's living fossil the gar, and be amazed by the brilliance of live corals. Immerse yourself in the underwater world of schooling fishes, cryptic eels, and charismatic pufferfish. 

During your visit, make sure to stop by the programmatic tables to learn more about shark conservation and to get a hands-on experience with our baby alligators and invertebrates. Our team of knowledgeable aquarists are eager to answer your questions and make your experience one to remember.
