A nice visit for a few hours. Fun to see the marine life up close.
A little pricy but our family of 4 adults had a nice visit. Take a quick guided tour first if time allows, just to get the feel for the place, and a few tidbits of info you may not otherwise learn. After that explore on your own. This is an outside park, not air conditioned. Plenty of tanks for you to get your hands in the water to touch stingray, octopus, crab, and other little water creatures. Little kids will have a blast. See them feed the fish and shark, little alligators, manatees and more. Some exhibits have viewing windows down low for the little kids. You can add more in-depth adventures like feeding shark, and swimming in the big fish tanks, but it’s pretty pricy, in my opinion. You can also buy food for the creatures, cash only, so you can feed the alligators, turtles, fish, etc. as you walk around to the exhibits. It was a nice few hours. There is a little snack bar around back, but it wasn’t open when we were there. Snacks, ice cream, adult beverages, etc.

Toddler Heaven
We visited the aquarium twice on our visit to Marathon and our toddlers absolutely loved it! I recommend getting the feed pass, our kids loved feeding the turtles, tortoises and sting rays. They got to touch a number of animals like alligators, sting rays and starfish. They also have a really cute snack stand with a sandpit, cornhole and cocktails for mom and dad!
