Discover Underwater Wonders At The Florida Aquarium
The
Florida Aquarium is a amazing Kid Friendly destinations that
let's you come face-to-face with live sharks, and discover the
mysterious world beneath the seas and oceans. For those who want
the thrill of diving with these amazing under water creatures,
the Swim with the Fishes adventure takes you on a in-water reef
adventure to discover the Florida Keys' most beautiful coral
reef dive sites, and you don't have to be a certified scuba
diver.
Dive With The Sharks - Then, there is the Dive with the Sharks program, in which certified scuba divers age 15 and older dive into Shark Bay, a 93,000 gallon tank, features nine sharks from around the world including the intimidating Sand Tiger Shark. The Dive with the Sharks program is designed to dispel the commonly held myth that sharks are man-eaters and to convey a message conservation. These are two adventure you'll never forget!
Ranked in the top 10 Aquariums in the country by TripAdvisor.com, The Florida Aquarium is a exciting place to visit. Once you enter the aquarium the world outside disappears, and you find yourself in the midst of over 20,000 animals and aquatic plants. The underwater life is native to Florida, and from around the world! It was interesting to learn just how many amazing aquatic animals live in Tampa Bay area and its shores.
One of the newest galleries at The Florida Aquarium is the Ocean Commotion, where you can meet Raldo. He's the aquarium's intrepid reporter in the sea, and interviews the six animated characters nominated for the coveted Golden Gill Award. This is what makes the Florida Aquarium unique; it has immersive experiences and encounters that make it more than just an aquarium - it's a living extension of earth's seas and oceans.
The Florida Aquarium is also a fun place, where everyone can play in the water fun zone. Get ready to get wet in this 2 acre outdoor play area filled with water canons and geysers, and you can climb aboard the pirate ship and see what the folks eating at the Caribbean Cantina Bar & Grill are doing. On those hot Florida days this fun zone is the perfect place to hang out!
