Otters! Manatees! Turtles! Sharks! Oh my! I LOVE THIS PLACE. In my opinion, it's one of the best aquariums I've ever been to. And this is not just for your entertainment! This aquarium is first and foremost a marine laboratory for research and science. Its mission is to further our understanding of marine and ocean life and, above all else, how to preserve it for future generations. Your visit to this place directly helps the laboratory continue to conduct important research into ocean sustainability, sea life preservation, coral reef repair, and species repopulation. Even if you hate science, please visit this place!
