3.5 stars due to its smaller size and less-than-ideal parking, but rounded to 4 stars for being a…read moreworthwhile way to spend a few hours on the weekend. The staff are professional and friendly. The educational aspect is top-tier. The exhibits and animals appear well cared for and I was especially impressed with the ground level Marsh/mangrove display with a large assortment of birds mingling out in the open with visitors making it really beautiful and immersive. I was there shortly after opening on a Saturday and it got busy quickly, which, considering the layout could be a problem on a more crowded day. Out of the two aquariums I've visited in the Bay Area both are worth the visit but this is the better one in my opinion.

If you're looking for something to do to kill 3-4 hrs, this place will work. But first, beware that…read morethis aquarium is located in the heart of tourist area and cruise port. Finding parking can be very challenging. And when you find one, it's not going to cheap. This is not a huge aquarium in comparison to a few others I have visited. But it's nice and quaint enough that you'll enjoy yourself. Man of the pools with fish are close enough, that you can really see them and the animals well. Small children seemed to really enjoy being at eye-level with a lot of the tanks. They have both fresh water and salt water fish and wildlife to explore. They offer a 10% for military and veterans.

Had a fantastic visit to the manatee viewing area near Tampa. This is such a unique and peaceful…read morespot where you can actually get close views of manatees in their natural environment, especially when the water is cooler and they come in to warm up. The viewing area is well maintained with easy walkways and good spots to stop and watch without feeling crowded. It is calm, relaxing, and a great place to just slow down and take in nature. We were able to pet a few stingrays but not see any manatees. There are also helpful signs and information that explain the manatees and the area, which makes it even more interesting. It is a great place for families, tourists, or anyone who just wants a quiet nature break around Tampa. Overall, a super memorable and peaceful experience. Easy 5 stars and definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

Took a trip out to the Manatee viewing center while we were in the area. This is a free…read moreexperience, if you're looking for something to do outside, and enjoy with family/kids. The parking lot is a bit small, but if you're lucky you can find a spot in the main lot, otherwise, you have to go down the road to another lot where they shuttle you to the viewing center. They have a small interior space with lots of educational and fun info to learn about the manatees and other creatures living in the area. They also have a small cafe to grab snacks at. The weather on our visit, was nice, but a bit cold, so I think it helped keep some of the crowds away. The water was a bit murky, i think due to the recent tide change, but still always fun to see them a little bit up close, but still in the wild, just doing their thing , and enjoying the warm waters near the power plant. a definite fun, free spot to check out if you're looking for something to do
