Get Ready for All the Feels
The Tide Pool is bringing the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest to Tampa Bay, with more than 200 marine animals to meet, including colorful sea stars, urchins, squat lobsters, and more. And when we say “meet,” we mean it. This touch habitat lets you reach down and feel some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures. Located on the Aquarium’s newly renovated second-floor mezzanine, The Tide Pool is one of the only cold-water touch habitats on Florida’s west coast.
