The concept

Thousands of sea creatures live in the aquarium: sea turtles, reef fish, rays and sharks. Injured manatees also stay here to recover. You can wander freely across two levels for as long as you like.

The Experience

On Level 2 you stand in a circular room with windows all around, right in the middle of the aquarium, so you're almost completely surrounded by marine life. You can see the manatees in the Manatee Rehabilitation Center, on both levels.
