The Florida Aquarium, home to more than 20,000 aquatic plants and marine animals from Florida and around the world tells the story of water's journey to the sea: from a single drop of rain to the deep waters where the ocean's top predators are found. Along the way, see river otters, alligators, stingrays, and sharks! Immerse yourself in interactive guest dive programs like "Swim With The Fishes" and "Dive With The Sharks" where coming face to face with a 200-pound Goliath Grouper is common place. Children can enjoy Explore A Shore, a 2.2-acre water adventure park while parents relax at the outdoor Cantina! And forget the acrylic windows! Get up close and personal with African Black-footed penguins in the "no borders, no barriers" Penguin Promenade three times daily.
Our guest dive experience includes a 90-minute program called "Swim with the Fishes" in our largest exhibit, The Coral Reef, for guests 6 and older who are comfortable in the water. For certified SCUBA divers age 15 and older, we offer "Dive with the Sharks" a 90-minute program that allows guests to dive next to live sharks in a completely open environment!
