NEW! Stingray Feeding Tour!
(Daily except Sundays/Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m.) *
The new Stingray Feeding Tour takes visitors behind-the-scenes to learn how some of the animals are fed at the aquarium and ends with a chance to hand-feed cownose stingrays in our main lobby touch tank.
 The tour provides great information on stingrays: everything from what they eat to why doing the stingray shuffle is so important when visiting Florida beaches. The 45-minute tour, led by an Aquarium educator, gives visitors an opportunity to hand-feed the stingrays.
* Please note: The Shark Feeding and Stingray Feeding programs include handling raw seafood during food preparation and feeding. Please consider this if you have an allergy to seafood or are concerned that you may have an adverse reaction.
