Why don't we start exploring the exhibits? These are the reason this aquarium has been ranked in the top 10 aquariums in the entire USA!

Let's start with the Wetlands Trails, where you can journey through swamps teeming with alligators, as you watch the otters play. The best of what makes Florida special is on show here, including the 14ft Burmese Python! Eeek!

Madagascar, anyone? Of course we can go! Journey to Madagascar is filled with leaping lemurs and hissing cockroaches...see if you can spot those chameleons too! From Africa to the Bays and Beaches, where over 20,000 plants and animals are waiting to be uncovered in this underwater world - it will make you look at the shores differently from now on!

Next we can journey to those beautiful Coral Reeds, where kids can see a one of a kind view of the most beautiful, delicate, and important ecosystems in the entire world.
