The tarpon are not in a pen, they are completely wild and free to come and go. The pen is set up to feed them without feeding the pelicans. The tarpon are free to swim in and out of the pen at all times. The admission cost has always been only $1. It is great family fun!

First of all the tarpon are not wild and are in a pen. Secondly, you have to pay (it was advertised as a free activity). So from the start I was disappointed. Did not get better than that. And, my husband was bit by a pelican. So it was not a pleasant experience.

We always stop at Robbie's to feed the tarpon on our way home from the Keys - 2 or 3 times a year. It helps to have kids along who don't mind touching dead fish, but even if you just watch others toss the sardines to the tarpon, it's fun. It's like old Florida. We hope it stays around for a long time! Our kids want to be able to take their kids there someday.

You have to go feed the tarpon at robbies! You can hang off the docks and feed them. There are thousands of wild fish that gather at this marina every day. It is the coolest thing i have ever seen. They will leap out of the water, and grap the food right out of your hand. It is very cheap for a cup of food... I think at the most it was 3 bucks. While you are there you can charter any type of activity. (If you are going fishing I recomment Capt. Joe) If not just swing by and feed the tarpon it's an amazing experiance you will not get at any other marina.
