💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Attend the presentations scheduled every 30 minutes to maximize your visit — they cover sharks, sea turtles, large fish, and conservation topics. These talks are highly informative and can extend your stay from 20 minutes to over an hour.
• 💡Take advantage of the 2-day admission pass to spread your visit across two days. This is especially valuable since the aquarium is compact and pairs well with other Key West attractions in Mallory Square.
• 💡Arrive early to catch the daily shark and turtle feedings, and don't miss the touch tank — both are highly popular with visitors. Also check the back area for wild fish and manatees, a unique feature many visitors overlook.
• 💡Children under 4 visit free, making this an affordable option for families. The aquarium is kid-friendly with the touch tank and staff presentations, though plan for 1-2 hours depending on how many demonstrations you attend.
• 💡Look for discount coupons before visiting, as multiple reviewers noted the admission price is steep for the aquarium's size, but becomes worthwhile with a coupon.
