Group Tickets
We Welcome Groups of 25+ Guests
The Florida Aquarium is proud to offer programs to make your community day trip, corporate outing, association function or other group gathering a fun and unforgettable adventure. Come face to fin with some of the world’s apex predators, see eye-to- eye with sea turtles, feel a jelly bell and take in hundreds of fish species. More than just a must-see attraction, your group’s visit will support the Aquarium’s critical conservation work.
