Plan Your Visit to Key West Aquarium
The aquarium opens daily with extended hours during peak season. Plan to spend 1-2 hours exploring the exhibits and attending feeding demonstrations. The best time to visit is mid-morning when the marine animals are most active and before the afternoon heat peaks.
Located in the heart of Key West's historic district, the aquarium sits just steps from Mallory Square. You can easily walk there from most downtown hotels or take the free shuttle that runs along Duval Street. After your visit, explore other Key West attractions or take a Key West sunset cruise to see dolphins and other marine life in their natural habitat. The area also offers excellent opportunities for Key West snorkelling tours where you can experience the coral reefs firsthand.
