How very special it was for the Florida Aquarium to donate tickets for the kids in Hope Children's Home to be able to enjoy a visit. The kids loved feeling star fish and petting the back of a stingray! Due to poor weather, we were unable to enjoy the water play area, which looked absolutely awesome! (fountains, pirate ships, little slides...)But the kids still had a great time!
Two thumbs way up!

I love to visit the Aquarium, but I really wish they did date nights! Its so sad that the place closes at 5, when working people could go!

Great aquarium, outside water area great for kids, though they could use a little more monitoring. My little ones get trampled if it's a busy day. Great place to go in the summer as it is air conditioned! My family does Busch Gardens in the winter, Aquarium in the summer!

This is a wonderful place to spend the afternoon with your kids. They can see all the fish, inside and outside. They can touch all kinds of stuff in the touch tank and also pet the stingrays. Then they can play outside in the waterpark while you sit and enjoy a tasty beverage from the bar.

A nice aquarium with an amazing HUGE tank. The tank goes from floor to very high ceiling and is the home to TONS of fish. Of course, like everything in FL, it is hot so keep that in mind when going for the day.
