Key West Aquarium

[newetocruise2012]

We are visiting Key West in July. I was wondering if the aquarium is easily accessible from the Carnival Magic port? Would anyone recommend the aquarium? I have a 6 year old & a 9year old.

The Key West Aquarium http://www.keywestaquarium.com/ is very close. Just look for the large red brick building with a red roof and oversized figures out front and it is just the other side of the Clinton Square bldg.

 

It is a small teaching type aquarium and I think your 6 and 9 year olds will love it.

It's at the bottom on Duval Street near the Westin Marina/Mallory Square area.

 

This is the red brick building bhopal21 mentioned to look out for:

 

This is the entrance to the Aquarium on the other side of the Clinton Square Building:

You will be docking at The Westin Hotel which is just to the left of the customs house (in the first picture) and the Aquarium is on the other side past Clinton Market.

 

And that is Front Street that runs in front of both.

There's a new exhibit there called Sting Ray City...

 

"Baby Boom at the Key West Aquarium

 

The stork has brought the Key West Aquarium 11 baby stingrays. The Aquarium has a new exhibit, Stingray Bay, where visitors can pet and feed the Aquarium’s eight baby cow nose rays. Cow nose rays can be found in the waters off the Florida Keys and are members of the eagle ray family. They have rhomboidal shaped bodies and wide set eyes. They are very docile and friendly. On February 15, one of our southern stingrays gave birth to a litter of three pups. The baby rays are now living with their cow nose cousins in Stingray Bay.

 

Now with all of these baby rays, we need to give them names. Later this month, we will kick off our "Name the Rays" contest on Facebook where not only will our stingrays get some great names, but we will have some great prizes to give away as well."
