Definitely on the smaller side for an aquarium, but I appreciate how it's around so many other…read morethings which is why I'm giving it a higher rating than if it was just standalone. We have free passes with our Legoland annual pass, so we checked out this place, the Orlando, Eye, and Madame Tussaud's. There was a lot of things to read, I made my older son practice reading by reading a lot of the plaques. There was also some fun interactive screens. And the highlight was a mermaid that was swimming around in the tank that came up to wave at everyone. It must be somewhat common place because we saw the mermaid a couple of times and only in one area where people rushing up to get pictures. The aquarium is broken out into sections, they had quite a few different species. My son also liked the touch tank. Overall, it took us about 45 minutes to get through so it's not a full day thing. If you read more, you could maybe make it last a couple hours, but for young children, I would say about an hour. Parking at icon park is easy. There's a free parking garage that has free parking on the upper levels and pay to park on the lower levels. When we came at about 5 PM on a Saturday there were tons of spots. I don't think this place gets that busy until nighttime.

The back entrance next to Bluemen Group directly connected. The fish collection is good. It is a lot from different ocean. They also have collections from Everglades. I like seahorses collection. One of the seahorse is called pork belly seahorse. Sounds like a dish in the restaurant. Just kidding. I also like the decorative stone in the water. Most of them are like South America relics. I also like the touch tank. I got to touch small animal. The visit may take 1.5 hours to complete. There is the Florida residence price. I recommend this visit with kid.

A small but, cool place for kids…read more There isn't much to do with kids in Welaka but there is the Fish Hatchery. We come here a few times during they year to visit family in Sportsman Harbor. My child just loves to see the fish here and it never seems to get old for them. They occasionally change out the aquatic species to feature various different types of local animal life. Depending on what they are rising at the hatchery, which is located just a little further south down the road. There's and observation tower but thats it. nothing much to look at with a hiking trail of the area as well. There is also Mud Spring just a bit further south on the road that features more hiking and a Florida Spring worth taking a dip in the hot summer day. **Overall, Yes its a small place but is great for all ages. They're usually open from 8a-3p daily and have open public bathrooms.

I was looking…read morefor a specific solution to my aquarium, and I wasn't sure if they would have anything due to them specializing in saltwater aquariums. Nevertheless, my curiosity prompted me to stop in. I was definitely impressed with the quantity and variety of aquarium tools and aquatic life that they carry. The displays were beautiful. After I had a chance to look around, one of the staff asked me if they could assist me or answer questions. They were able to answer all of my questions, but they didn't have a solution for me and this was no surprise for me. If I were a saltwater enthusiast, I think that I would consider shopping here based upon the location, the variety of supply and the knowledge and friendliness of the staff. For now it is a 4 star because I don't have the experience of purchasing and/or assessing quality of animals or service.
