Miami Seaquarium
The Miami Seaquarium is a 38-acre aquarium and oceanarium located near downtown Miami and on the Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay. Founded in 1955, the aquarium is one of the oldest oceanariums in the United States. It is a great place for family outings, as the exhibits focus on various marine species and the history of the region. Besides its amazing exhibits, the aquarium also hosts a variety of educational programs and events. The underwater walking tour takes place in an underwater tank that is more than three times the size of the average aquarium. Visitors don diving helmets to enter the water, which is perfect for easy breathing and viewing the fishes. The 20-minute tour ends with a visit to Lolita's tank, which is 80 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. The Miami Seaquarium is one of the largest animal-themed aquariums in Florida, but it's also one of the largest. The dolphins are an exciting part of the Miami Seaquarium's offerings. Not only can you meet Lolit...
