Mote Marine Aquarium
Experience individual animal exhibits that are up-close, hands-on, all-in amazement. From the open water Shark Zone exhibit, to the touchable rays and reef animals exhibits and more, the Mote Marine Aquarium offers a blend of entertainment and education only a working marine laboratory could deliver.
The Florida Aquarium
The Florida Aquarium is the perfect destination for the whole family. Start with Wetlands under the impressive glass dome, then enter Bays & Beaches where colorful fish and stingrays live in the shallow coastal waters. Next dive in to the Coral Reef gallery and explore an undersea kaleidoscope of fish. Finally, children can play in the two-acre outdoor water adventure zone complete with a sand box and shaded seating.
The Ringling
A thorough visit of The Ringling can easily take the larger part of a day to experience the offerings. Wander through 31 galleries filled with treasures: old masters, contemporary art and exhibitions from around the world. Then step right up and discover the rich history, fun and fanfare of the American circus. The Historic Asolo Theater’s past is as rich as the performances that delight audiences in this Italianate theater. Stroll the 66 acres of Bayfront Gardens and it’s soon evident that not all of the beauty is confined to the galleries.
