About this place
Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters is a marine life attraction in Marathon where kids can get close to sharks, moray eels, seahorses, alligators, turtles, tortoises and a 300-pound grouper. The centerpiece is a 200,000 gallon coral reef tank, along with dedicated areas like Stingray Cove and Big Shark Bay for up-close encounters. Touch tanks let children handle stingrays, starfish, sea urchins, horseshoe crabs and hermit crabs, and hand-feeding activities throughout the day let visitors feed rays, angelfish, sharks and eels through a pass-through opening in the tank. Reviewers note it works well for a mixed-age family visit, from toddlers to grandparents.
