The St. Augustine Aquarium strives to help the sea cast its spell on all who visit and are passionate about sharing their love and wonder about marine biology and the vast area under the world's seas.

Located on Rt. 16, less than a mile from I-95, this landlocked aquarium has much to offer, including indoor and open-air exhibits, knowledgeable staff, and a snorkel adventure in an 80,000-gallon tank teeming with hundreds of Florida reef fish, such as angelfish, blue-lined grunts, and high-hats. 

Guests are invited to learn about the sea and its inhabitants, search for seahorses hiding in the seagrass, touch starfishes, horseshoe crabs, and other invertebrates, and feed the sharks, sea rays, and groupers that inhabit Stingray Cove.  

The St. Augustine Aquarium's mission is "marine conservation through education," making it a perfect spot to learn more about under-the-sea life and conservation efforts. They have exhibits and programs geared for pre-schoolers through adults.  

St. Augustine Aquarium has programs for educational field trips, birthday parties, and other special events. The onsite Snack Shack and gift shop offer snacks and souvenirs.
