Key West Aquarium, Key West

While in Key West we looked for places our kids would enjoy. The Key West Aquarium was perfect. A hands on tank in the front allowed kids to touch aquatic life. An employee was there to talk about the creatures and how best to interact with them. She gave our kids a personalized experience they loved. As we walked through the small building a blue lighting with tranquil music made for an ideal setting. Children of the right age range could feed a shark at the end of a presentation on the sharks. Outdoors a large tank is the setting for other presentations. These are informative and allow for people of all ages to throw food into the fish. At the conclusion of one show a great employee took time to give some additional hands on learning with our kids. We enjoyed ourselves so much we went back again the next day.

Small but really good. AC in Key West is great and if you hang out they have nice little talks and demos. They let you hold the squid to feed the sting Ray's. They give out 10 cards to hold the tongs to feed the nurse sharks. My son loves sharks and got to fed one, childhood highlight! Not big but we really enjoyed the 4 hours we spent there.
