Key West Aquarium

Discover the undersea world at the Key West Aquarium! A window of wonder comes alive as expert guides explain the mysteries of the water surrounding the Florida Keys. The Touch Tank along with daily shark and turtle feedings offer guests hands-on experience with the sea life of the surrounding waters. The Aquarium features a wide variety of fish including grouper, moray eels, barracuda, tropical fish, tarpon, parrotfish and much, much more. All of the animals in the Touch Tank are harmless and guests are encouraged to pick up and meet the animals.

The Atlantic Shores Exhibit is a cross section of a near shore mangrove environment. The 50,000 gallon tank holds a variety of tropical fish and game fish. During the daily tours, the Key West Aquarium's collection of sharks, rays, and turtles are fed as guides explain the habits and habitats of these mysterious creatures. Daring guests can even pet a live shark!

The Key West Aquarium is committed to helping protect the endangered sea turtles. The Aquarium is associated with the Turtle Hospital and Florida Sea Turtle Stranding Network comprised of state agencies, universities, and marine parks, all working in the nursing and rehabilitation of injured sea turtles. The Aquarium is currently home to several turtles on the mend and some, due to their injuries, will be permanently housed at the Key West Aquarium.
