“A must see in Key West”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Very interesting and informative of ocean life around the Key West waters. It really opens up your eyes of the life in the surrounding oceans. A great place to spend about an hour or so.

“Uninspiring”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Admission is free, so I feel like I shouldn't complain, but the informational video was so dull and irrelevant, I fell asleep. The exhibits were ok, but there are many other more interesting places to see in Key West and its environs.

“Interesting exhibits and a fun learning experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Another very worthwhile and free attraction. Especially enjoyed the coral reef and tropical fish tanks. Be sure to catch the short video, Reflections of the Florida Keys.

“The 3D TV”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

The 3D underwater video showing on the TV was grrrrreat. You feel like your right in the water with the fish. The schools of fish seem like they swim within a couple of inches of your face. Do not miss it. It is also a free attraction to visit in Key West.

“Learn a LOT about the local ocean ecology”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

We had questions concerning some of the beasties we saw on our trip out to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, and we got answers here. The volunteers are well informed and the exhibits are very well done. Worth the trip, it's free, and it's very close to the Truman Little White House and the Coast Guard Cutter Ingham Museum.
