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.
