"What a great experience! Lots of interesting and informative displays. We enjoyed walking the dog and cat garden afterwards. Lots of families having fun. Upstairs view was amazing of the bay with all the big cruise ships. The fish aquariums were our favorite."

"We came here to go to the aquarium, as something to do in Miami before a cruise. We loved this place! It was a fantastic place, there was so much beautiful aquatic life to see. The snack food area was also really good, and a great value for what you get. Chicken tenders and fries were very tasty and hot, and the Miami bowl was also very good. This was definitely a highlight of our trip here."

"Super cool place to hang out with kids—or even if you’re just a curious adult. It’s one of those spots where you learn and have fun at the same time. You just pay for parking (not too bad), and then it’s all about exploring, playing, and soaking in cool stuff about nature and science. Definitely a fun day out 🙂"
