    So fun!

    I'm not usually an aquarium type of gal, but spending time here with my pup was pure magic. So many cool things to see and so many educational opportunities! Even Grim was fascinated! Definitely hope to visit again someday.

    Smokey Had a Great TIme

    During my trip to the Keys I lined up as many places I could that were dog friendly so I didnt have to leave Smokey in the camper. Well, the Aquarium was a big hit for me and Smokey.

    Loved it!

    I love visiting aquariums and really enjoyed this one as well. As a historic aquarium it may not be as big or flashy as some others, but it is a really nice place to visit and the exhibits are really good. Plus your arm band is good for two days! It was very dog friendly and the staff was really friendly and helpful. I had my pups in a stroller and the helped me get through the turnstiles easily. Highly recommend as a little excursion!

    Loved it!!!

    My pups loved visiting the aquarium in Key West! Who knew there were dog friendly aquariums? The pups were so curious about all the fish, it was so cute watching them explore the aquarium. Staff was very friendly. It was a little on the smaller side, but still had great displays & presentations. Be careful in the outdoor sections on hot days as surfaces can get too hot for paws. We absolutely loved it!

    Very dog friendly

    We enjoyed getting out of the heat. The Aquarium is very dog friendly and we enjoyed learning about invasive species to Florida and the sea turtles. Our dog enjoyed it too.

    Super dog friendly and a great experience.

    This is one of the few indoor activities in Key West that dogs are welcome in so we took advantage of it. The educational staff gave great presentations during our time there and it doesn’t hurt there is AC on those hot days in Key West. Our dog was one of the stars of the visit and she was more than welcome by staff and guest.

    Great rainy day activity

    The aquarium was so much fun, it was small but so much fun. The pup LOVED it... she loved watching the fish. The staff were awesome too. It was such a great day.

    Parking was rough, we got tricked into parking by the post office... $20 for four hours... lots of cheaper spots elsewhere so beware.

    Small But Great!

    Yes this is quite a small aquarium but what they lack in size they make up in other ways! The staff are extremely friendly both to humans and dogs! They are very informative and helpful. They do have quite a cool range of marine life, lots of talks and you can feed the sharks!! Great visit.
