We recommend buying your online tickets at least 24-hours prior to your visit. Tickets purchased online before you visit offer the lowest price for the date of your visit. To view a calendar of current ticket prices, please visit the Tickets page.
The current price listed online will always be the most affordable option. It is possible the price may increase over time, so the further in advance you purchase, the more you save. Ticket prices will be higher at The Florida Aquarium ticket office.
Your ticket to the Aquarium is valid for 60-minutes after your scheduled entry time. Due to our capacity allotments per hour, we cannot guarantee there will be capacity outside of your pre-purchased 60-minute window. If there is availability later in the day, we will make every effort to accommodate you.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable; however, if you need to exchange your ticket, please call guest services at (813) 273-4000.
