Visitor Information

Entry Fee

A one-day admission ticket includes access to all exhibits, touch pools, the 4D theater, and the splash pad. The ZooTampa & Aquarium combo ticket offers excellent value for families wanting to explore both attractions on the same day.

Visit Duration

Plan approximately 3 to 4 hours to fully enjoy all exhibits, touch pools, and the 4D theater. Allow extra time if you wish to attend diver talks and explore the wetlands boardwalk at a leisurely pace.

Accessibility

The Florida Aquarium is fully wheelchair accessible with elevators, ramps, and accessible restrooms throughout all exhibits. Designated parking spaces and stroller-friendly pathways ensure comfortable navigation for all visitors.

Overview

Tampa's aquarium follows Florida's own water from the inside out. You begin on a wetlands boardwalk among cypress knees and roseate spoonbills, with alligators lying still in the shallows, then move through mangrove and bay habitats toward the open Gulf.

The Coral Reef Gallery is the centrepiece — half a million gallons behind a curved window wide enough to stand back from, with sharks, tarpon and a reef of colour, and divers dropping in at set times to feed and talk to the crowd through underwater microphones.

Beyond it are penguins, otters, a shark and ray gallery, and touch pools where you can reach in. Outdoors, a splash pad runs all summer for children who have had enough of looking. The aquarium's own teams do serious coral restoration and turtle rescue work, and the exhibits explain how.

Description
With exciting marine life, one-of-a-kind wildlife, thrilling rides, and animal encounters, ZooTampa and the Florida Aquarium are fun experiences for the whole family! Visit both attractions for a fraction of the price with one simple combo admission ticket.
There's more animal fun and just as much conservation work at ZooTampa. Meet Sdudla, the leader of a herd of elephants who weighs in at about 10,000 pounds. See the Florida manatee and a family of orangutans in activity, and learn about endangered species and how you can help protect them.
The Florida Aquarium immerses you in different areas, all designed to show you something new. From glimpsing rare seahorses and petting stingrays to learning about our endangered marine friends, each exhibit is an educational dive into our oceans.
See alligators, otters, and pythons on the wetland trails, and meet a 300-pound giant grouper in the bay and beach. At Stingray Beach, learn about endangered green sea turtles and find out what it's like to be a stingray.
On a trip to Madagascar, you can see lemurs, chameleons, geckos, and even crawl through a tree full of hissing cockroaches (if you dare)! Don’t worry, there’s a layer of glass separating you.
This is an admission ticket for the animal-loving family.
