Take some time out of your trip to visit and witness any one of the 12 major exhibits available at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium. The Florida Bay habitat is local, and the Fossil Creek exhibit explores the rich archeological history of Anna Maria Island with interactive activities for the kids. You can take a little stop at the Creatures from the Reef exhibit, featuring a spectacular showcase of rare tropical fish. Some lucky guests may even have the opportunity to participate in the shark feedings. It is, however, 135,000 gallons of water for the resident sharks to swim around and feed in. You will be happy to know that the Mote Marine Laboratory’s epic shark tank is not also a touch tank. This family-friendly mini-stop will have kids and adults alike keeping their fingers out and still as the sting rays float under them.
The last touch tank is filled with sting rays. Hang out with the sea turtles as they circle the tank and often demand your attention! You can see some of the most social sea turtles anywhere. The second touch tank area is a special treat. The first is the manatee touch tank where you can get an up-close-and-personal look at some of the most humble wonders of the local waters. The crux of your adventure here is in the three touch tanks. The Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium is an utterly unforgettable experience. Below is an overview of this iconic research facility and museum aquarium on Anna Maria Island. It is a family-friendly attraction focused on learning about the local waters and the treasures that they hold. It hardly gets better than the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium.
But at some point, even for just an afternoon, you may want to go see some of the attractions. Sure, you could stay at your beachfront rentals on Anna Maria Island and enjoy the wind through your hair, the cascading waves, and the turquoise glow of the waters.
