Great place to visit! - Great place to visit to educate yourself about our ocean inhabitants and how to coexist when visiting their environment. Staff are knowledgeable and informative on their subject matter. Some areas allow hands-on with the ocean animals! GetSome!!

Fun! - Great small aquarium. Had A/C in the indoor portions. My 9 month daughter loved looking at all the fish and turtles. They have 4 turtle species and a few tortoises. There were tours every 30 minutes to learn more about the different species.

A must see place in key west - Well worth the price of admission. They do little shows with different animals all throughout the day. Wild sharks come up in their back porch area. Also, dogs welcome!! This is a must see place in Key West hands down.

Great way to spend an afternoon in Key West - The guide was very knowledgeable and gave excellent presentations. The aquarium is small but did have an interesting set of displays. The touch tank was great for little kids and the story about their turtle was most interesting.

Great activity with knowledgeable staff. - Friendly staff members who were knowledgeable about the marine life. If you’re doing a trolley tour make sure to ask for coupons, they may have some for this, saved $2 a person. Would like to see an expansion of this attraction, it’s small but has a lot of potential. Overall it’s a great Key West activity!

Eh. - It was very small and wasn’t really worth the $20 admission fee. Hopefully they’ll add to it someday.

Save your money - Very small “aquarium” and not worth the price. The kids enjoyed seeing the fish but we have been to much better aquariums. Something to do but not worth it.
