I purchased our tickets the day before so that we could skip the line. I was a little surprised to see the aquarium nestled in between the cruise dock and the downtown Tampa area. The aquarium itself has no parking, but there are a couple if garages right next door. The one I parked at was $20 a day. Even at 9am, the parking garage was nearly full to my suprise. I showed my ticket barcode to the attendant, they take a quick family photo (the cheapest one is $29) and we were in with no wait. The aquarium has many exhibits in a fairly small space. It was fairly comfortable for thr first 30 minutes we were there, but it quickly filled up. We went on Friday hoping to avoid crowds, but it didn't seem to help. We spent about 2 hours visiting all the animals and my girls even got to touch jellyfish ans stingrays. They have helpful employees that answer your questions and seemed happy to be there. The gift shop and food options are extremely expensive and are comparable to Disney prices. We saw everything we wanted to see and left by 1130am. Tickets were $45 and parking was $20. I feel it was a little pricey for 2 1/2 hours, but we had a good time.

The Florida Aquarium is a clean, well-maintained attraction and a nice place for locals to escape…read morethe Florida heat or a rainy afternoon. Admission was $88 for one adult and one toddler, which felt a bit expensive for what was offered. We really enjoyed the coral reef exhibit and the large aquarium tanks. The octopus and jellyfish were definitely some of the most memorable animals, and my daughter absolutely loved the touch tank where she got to pet jellyfish. That ended up being one of her favorite parts of the visit Growing up in Florida and fishing most of my life, I'm already pretty familiar with much of the local marine life, so some of the exhibits weren't as exciting for me personally. However, my daughter had a wonderful time, which made the visit worthwhile. If you've visited before, be aware that a few things have changed. The outdoor penguin exhibit is gone, and the splash pad and playground have been replaced with a large turf area that has very little for kids to do outside. That was disappointing since those were some of the more unique family features. All of the animal exhibits are upstairs, while the downstairs consists mainly of the touch tank, gift shop, and restaurant. Overall, it's a smaller aquarium than what I remember from 10 years ago and we spent about an hour seeing everything at a comfortable pace. Overall, it's worth visiting once, but at the current admission price, I don't feel it offers enough value to visit regularly.

They were quite generous with our rental time, and even offered us a free cooler with ice (next time!).

The boat navigation is incredibly simple, and both recommended routes were straightforward to navigate. Would definitely book again!

Parking is limited, but it wasn't busy when we visited about an hour before closing. The park features easy walking trails, a 0.3-mile boardwalk, a beautiful botanical garden, and my favorite, the greenhouse. It's amazing how much history and so many rare tropical plants are packed into just 31 acres. You can comfortably see everything in 1 to 2 hours. We spent the last part of our visit chatting with one of the groundskeepers, who was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about preserving the park's history and keeping everything so well maintained. This hidden gem is absolutely worth a visit.

After taxes and fees, it was about 45 per person. We booked online for a Sunday afternoon. It was a bit hard to locate as it was inside an office complex, but a very helpful staff guided me by phone how to arrive. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly person who informed us the rules, instructions, and hints. After also signing a waiver, we were taken to the room. We were locked inside a casket and given an hour to break out. It was dark and cramped, but the puzzles were fun and not too difficult, and the staff was very nice to give helpful clues when needed. We managed to escape with 9 minutes left thanks to my smart friend and the helpful clues. While there were no jump scares or anything scary, people who are claustrophobic could feel uncomfortable in this room. However there were plenty of safety measures inside including two cameras and a panic button to make you feel at ease. It was also well ventilated, so I was able to breathe easily. While there was no media or music unlike some other escape rooms, it still felt immersive and enjoyable. I believe exactly two players are needed for that room as you will have to work together. Even though I just did the buried alive room with my friend, I had a lot of fun and the staff made it very enjoyable. I would definitely do other rooms they have, but may avoid the jump scare rooms as I get nervous easily. Please note they are live actors in some rooms and a taser may be used in one of them, but that is part of the fun and experience. If you like more intense and scary escape rooms, this is definitely the place to visit!
