The Key West Aquarium is dedicated to educating our guests about the amazing marine life of the Florida Keys, as well as our history and relationship with it.
Daily Educational Opportunities
Guests can attend guided presentations throughout the day to learn about specific topics, including sea turtles, sharks and rays, invasive species, and mangrove ecosystems. Digital presentations can be viewed for exhibits in the main gallery that give information about the animals as well as the habitats they live in or a specific topic area, such as coral restoration or the history of the Dry Tortugas.
Monthly Local Sunday
The first Sunday of every month is Local Sunday at the Key West Aquarium. Guests with a Monroe County ID may enjoy free admission and participate in special activities and presentations. These monthly events focus on current events and celebrations of national/international recognition days. For more information on what the monthly event will be, check the Key West Aquarium’s social media platforms!
