The same as the rest of the aquariums. It's added touch was the native birds scattered throughout.

Visited the aquarium last week. First, this is no where close to the size and scope of the Georgia Aquarium so there will be disappointment if that is what is expected. However, what is there is nicely displayed and laid out well. Clearly, more accessible than the larger facilities so relax and enjoy all the great things there are to see. Appeal across all age groups from kids to seniors. Great job including other water animals besides fish. It really ties the aquarium to the local enviroment and some of the birds are so close you can almost touch them. Have to love the pink flamingo - too Florida! Definitely a nice stop if you need to kill some time before a cruise or in the area doing other things. Allow at least 2 hours if not crowded.

this was a wonderul zoo for kids. We brought our 27 month old and we had just a great time. Their displays are amazing. You can get right up close to everything. My daughter loved the otters, but who doesn't. It is not the biggest aquarium I have been to but it is still a great place to visit. We took about 3 hours to see everything. They do have penguins but not on display. A few times a day they bring them out and have a little show with them. You actually sit right next to them on the floor-absolutley incredible! FYI-watch out when they poop!

The aquarium in Tampa is a beautiful little place. They do an excellent job of tying in the coastal climate to the overall experience. However, having been to the Atlanta aquarium, I feel like there was not that much to do, and it was a little pricey for such a small exhibit. The staff told us we would need about 3 to 4 hours to experience the aquarium, but we were through the entire place in just over an hour. The penguins are fun to watch, especially if you have small children, but do not attempt to make a whole day out of it.
