Mote Aquarium

At this Lido Key aquarium children of all ages can enjoy colour changing cuttlefish, a 135,000 gallon shark tank and Molly the mollusc, a 27ft long preserved giant squid.  At Contact Cove, Mote's aquatic petting zoo visitors can touch sea stars, horseshoe crabs and sea urchins. 

Just next door in the Goldstein Marine Mammal Centre wildlife specialists work to rehabilitate injured sea turtles, dolphins and whales so that they can return to their natural habitats.
