Key West Aquarium

By Angela Ash

With so many attractions to visit in Key West, it may be difficult to decide which to visit first.  However, I find this decision fairly simply.  I just head straight for the sharks. 

The Key West Aquarium is a fascinating place!  It doesn't have that "polished" feel as in most aquariums.  Instead, this aquarium focuses on the animal life within... something it has been doing since 1934! 

With daily shark and turtle feedings, you get such an up-close and personal visit with the inhabitants.  I can tell you, it is really something to see the nurse sharks literally piling on top of one another to get at lunch! 

The Key West Aquarium also boasts plenty of Touch Tanks, so that you can actually feel these creatures that are typically deep below the surface.

And with guided tours, this aquarium ensures that you discover as much about its tenants as possible in your visit!
