If you have ever wondered what it is like to touch a shark or hold a live starfish, then this ticket is for you. It will get you entrance to the Key West Aquarium, which first opened its doors in 1934 and was the very first attraction in the city. During the day you will get closer to marine life than you ever thought possible, without getting wet. See some of the world’s most intriguing marine species, such as moray eels, stingrays, barracuda, parrotfish, tarpon, sharks, sea turtles and an array of tropical fish. Learn about their habitats and habits from the Key West Aquarium’s knowledgeable guides, and then get a hands-on experience as you feel and pick-up the amazing animals that live in the Touch Tank. They are all harmless, gentle creatures, just waiting to get a closer look at you too! Move on to catch the hungry sharks and sea turtles devour their breakfast, lunch or late afternoon snack; feedings occur daily at 11:00, 13:00 and 16:30. The Atlantic Shores exhibit offers visitors a chance to learn about a mangrove environment, while the 50,000-gallon tank is home to many colorful and lively tropical and game fish. Spend as long as you like at the underwater wonderland; it is open daily from 10:00 through 18:00, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

What people are saying about Florida Keys

We loved the experience. The staff was all extremely pleasant and helpful. Very informative. My 9 year old was a bit scared at first and our trainer was so kind and patient for her to get comfortable. She really made the experience pleasant. I believe her name was Katrina. The experience meeting chinook was great. Such gentle giants. We would definitely go back.

Excellent choice! Colorful and friendly butterflies everywhere! Gift shop has many good choices. We spent about an hour there and I would suggest the Southernmost Beach Resort for breakfast beforehand and then a short walk to the Southernmost Point afterwards. We went about 930, No line, and when we came out, the line was long. Worth the visit!

It was our first time but really that was amazing and my wife realize one of her dreams...it was to see and touch a sea mammal...just beautiful.

Loved the experience will definitely do it again with our kids … Thank you Tony & Raum

Friendly and fun. The best time we had on the entire vacation
