The Florida Aquarium

Nestled in downtown Tampa between two cruise ship terminals and along the free streetcar route, The Florida Aquarium spans a 200,000-square-foot facility, offering a glimpse into the diverse marine life of Tampa Bay. Home to over 9,000 animals, the aquarium features nine unique habitats, each designed to replicate the natural environments of its inhabitants. Families can explore these immersive exhibits, and children can enjoy the outside water adventure zone. After a day of discovery, visitors can relax at the on-site café, which provides both indoor and outdoor seating options.
