Overview
The Key West Aquarium serves as a window into what lies beneath the surface. Come face-to-face with reef sharks, tropical fish, barracudas, and much more.
The aquarium aims to educate visitors on Florida’s ocean life and champions conservation efforts to save the sea turtles. Working with the Florida Sea Turtle Stranding Network, the aquarium houses and rehabilitates injured or sick turtles. There are currently several turtles calling the aquarium home as they are nursed back to full health.
To ensure you cover the most ground on your day at the aquarium, hop on one of the many tours that run every 20-30 minutes throughout the day.

Très bien !!
Linda et Ismaël ·Juste ce qu'il faut. on a vu de beaux animaux marins. Mention plus pour les requins, les tortues et les raies. Bel aquarium.
Solo Traveller
Lucy ·It’s definitely a smaller aquarium, it contains some outdoor components where fishes, sharks reside. They also have local sea turtles and some other sea animals. It’s just a little smaller than I thought, but definitely worth it to go to if you are into sea animals or have little children who likes them
Décevant
Tatamel ·Ne vous attendez pas à un grand Aquarium, il est tout petit. J’ai mis 2 * cat les Raies sont super sympa et il y a quelques poissons rigolos mais malheureusement ça ne vaut pas plus au vu du tarif 🤷🏼♀️
Great place to see fish.
Fun time lots of fish and learning about the history of natural habitats.
Indoor fun
Fran M ·Very fun. My little one loved it. We touched the starfish and feed the fish.
