Florida Aquarium

Florida Aquarium

Home to more than 20,000 aquatic plants and animals from Florida and all over the world, the Florida Aquarium opened in March of 1995. The facility is not only an aquarium, but also an aviary and botanical garden.

The Florida Aquarium's exhibits are laid out to show the journey of a drop of water from one of Florida's many fresh-water springs out to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
