St. Augustine Aquarium

The St. Augustine Aquarium offers a variety of engaging experiences designed to enhance visitors understanding of marine life. With guided tours led by marine biologists, guests can explore the aquarium's open-air habitats while learning about the diverse species that inhabit these environments.

The tours are structured to ensure safety and provide an interactive experience, including opportunities for feedings and touch interactions with marine animals such as Starfish and Horseshoe crabs as well as Meet and Greets with Sharks and Stingrays!

Guided tours are an hour long allowing families and individuals to schedule visits at their convenience.

For families with toddlers, the aquarium hosts Toddler Tuesdays, a special non-guided time at 9:30 AM, providing a relaxed environment for young children to explore and learn about marine life without the structured tour format.

One of the key benefits of guided tours is the opportunity to engage with knowledgeable staff who share fascinating facts about the animals and their habitats. This educational component enhances the visitor experience, making it not only enjoyable but also informative. The open-air design of the aquarium allows for a unique interaction with marine life, fostering a deeper appreciation for aquatic ecosystems.

In addition to guided tours, the aquarium offers snorkeling experiences providing guests with the chance to immerse themselves in the aquatic environment.

It is advisable to call ahead for additional availability and to schedule a time slot for both tours and snorkeling activities.
