    This place wasn't exactly what we were expecting. It was all outside and it lacked the refinement of other aquariums we've been to. While we saw fish in a large tank, sharks in a secluded area, and stingrays in another water tank, all the exhibits looked as though they needed to be remodeled and spruced up. We did the guided tour, which lasted about 40 minutes and was quite informative, but given the hot day, standing in the heat trying to listen with little kids was challenging for the group. This is not a place that I would probably return or bring other people to visit but it was nice to check it out on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

    Guide informing us what kinds of fish are in the tank. She also fed them and taught them cues.

    We took a day trip to St Augustine and stopped at this aquarium. Our guided tour was so fun and informative. My elementary aged kids enjoyed this trip. I got cheaper tickets on Groupon but paid extra for the shark feeding. We spent about one and a half hours there. It's all outside so having beautiful weather was helpful.

    This lil quaint Aquarium is really cute, when you think of Aquarium you think of a huge massive displays of thousands of gallons of water, not this on it a definitely a small operation but Sydney our personal guide was extremely knowledgeable about marine life answered all questions and was very personable. But this is a great stop for inquisitive little minds

    I found this hidden gem tucked off on State Road 16. It's a smaller aquarium compared to most. The staff will accompany you on a 1-hr guided tour to explain Florida's sea life. It was worth the money.

    Saw that you could touch and feed the shark and it got my attention we drove over and when we got there looks like someone's backyard not that much to see the fish tank is a pool where you could swim with 30 fishes with blue dye in the pool too look like salt water :/ The shark area you can't touch them really just the top and feed them with this tonges for cooking . You could finish this place in 5 mins maybe why it cost only $5 to go inside . Super small place and friendly staff.one thing that I didn't like was that they say you could touch any animal we decided to touch the starfish and could hold it just touch the skin like wow .

    This is not a typical aquarium that most would imagine when "aquarium" is mentioned. It's kind of small, and it's an outside aquarium and you walk around 3 different areas of the property. They have tours every hour on the hour, definitely don't miss it. The tour guide truly makes the entire experience. I believe our guide's name was Alex. He was extremely knowledgeable and told us about literally every single animal that they have on the property. He kept up the energy and kept us intrigued with lots of interesting facts and questions for us to answer. Also before moving on to any new section he would always make sure if we had any questions. Without the guide, I feel like this would have been a very dull experience. You do get to see lots of different marine life up close, and you are even allowed to touch a few without paying lol. They do have nurse shark feeding and petting experiences, as well as snorkeling, all for an added price of course. Snorkeling takes place in the large tank with the one stingray. Aside from this, they have a little nature path that leads to a beautiful lake, but do be warned apparently there may be venomous snakes or other wildlife in the area. They had plans and built a lot for a treetop trail & ziplining but that was run by a separate company that backed out so unfortunately that wasn't available. Did look pretty fun though. Anyway all in all, this is a great place if you're actually interested in learning about marine life. We had a great experience.

    It was a great day on the water with the Amelia River Cruises & Charters company at the helm…read more It was my first time visiting Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach and wanted to get an overlay of the area and the river cruise seemed like the perfect thing to get an overview of the area. And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

    Really nice boat Super friendly tour guides…read moreStunning g views of fort an horses on Cumberland Island Wonderful sunset.! Good pricing!
