Mote Science Education Aquarium (Mote SEA)
Mote's current public aquarium at Nathan Benderson Park, with marine-life exhibits and overhead shark viewing.
Date-dependent, plan-ahead pricing — verify your date in official booking; advance timed tickets strongly recommended. Daily 9:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Do not go to the old City Island address for the aquarium; that campus is research-only except for advertised programs.
