The Key West Aquarium offers visitors a glimpse into the marine life of the Florida Keys. While small in size, it houses a variety of local sea creatures, including sharks, sea turtles, and tropical fish. The touch tank is popular among children, allowing hands-on interaction with marine life. The staff provides informative presentations, particularly about sea turtle conservation efforts. However, some visitors find the facility outdated and in need of renovation. The aquarium's compact nature means it can be explored in about an hour, which some find disappointing for the admission price. Despite its limitations, many appreciate its educational value and convenient location in downtown Key West. The aquarium's focus on local marine ecosystems provides insight into the area's underwater world, but those expecting a large, modern aquarium may be underwhelmed.
