St. Lucie County Aquarium - Fort Pierce, Florida

We‘ve never been at such an amazing educational aquarium ever! It’s definitely great for school kids ! You can learn so much about different kinds of ocean animals. It’s rather small, but that’s the good thing ! It’s not overwhelming or crowded. The employees are so helpful & always have time to explain things! Our girls ( 7 & 8 ) didn’t want to leave !

Stopped by for a quick visit with my wife, her sister, and her boyfriend.

I would agree with a previous reviewer saying it's a small quaint aquarium. We got to see some cool marine life and corals.

They have some endangered sea life, and you get to see their laboratory. It's a fun little exhibit that has some good teaching moments.

Also, when we went, there was a new batch of seahorse babies.

I will say due to the smaller space, it got easily crowded with the couple families that were there.

The bathrooms are outside behind the building, and are like the bathrooms you use in an outdoor park. Not a port-a-potty, but it smelled like urine, and is a public restroom.

So cute and quaint it's the perfect location for teaching, seeing, and hands on learning about some of the incredible wildlife that is among us, it's so cool how diverse and beautiful this planet is. So much to see and explore. Totally recommend for the family and especially for little ones. It was the perfect thing to visit for us during a rainy ? day.

Perfect for younger children, older children will get bored, easily. The aquarium is small, and some of the tanks are not well-maintained.
However, our 5 month-old loved it because there was plenty for him to look at. There are a couple fun activities for kids to do like there is a dark tank that they can find animals with a light and there is also a hands on tank where the kiddos can experience some sea animals.
The aquarium is free the first Tuesday of the month… So, that made it worth the trip.
The aquarium sits right on the water and it is a beautiful view!

Bellissima esperienza! Piccolo acquario con solo specie locali, con molte informazioni scientifiche ed interessanti. Il biglietto costa meno di 5$ ma quando siamo andati noi era ingresso libero. Abbiamo lasciato una donazione perché era palese quanto sia a scopo informativo e non di lucro. Assolutamente consigliato con i bambini. Personale gentilissimo che ci ha spiegato ad ogni postazione

Low cost tiny aquarium. Everything was well labeled. It's a great place to kill 20 minutes. That is a very educational place for kids. I think it was only $5 to enter

Nice smaller size easily managed. A fun guide explaining the exhibits. A touch tank. Really good for kids maybe age 4 and up. Free on the 1st Tuesday of the month.

Small but great aquarium for kids. Staff is SO friendly and kind! Awesome spot in the middle with books, coloring, and stuffed animals. We spent an hour here with our 2 year old.
