Florida Aquarium Announces 40 Million Dollar Expansion
We love heading to the Florida Aquarium any day of the year. You can see my daughter when she was about two years old. She is the one in pink lying on the floor.
Well things are going to get even bigger and better at the Florida Aquarium.
Our friends at ABC Action News are covering the story.
This is going to be the biggest expansion since the aquarium first opened its doors in 1995.
According to the press release, the expansion will offer “innovative and immersive habitats and exhibits.”
One of the coolest things that came along with the announcement and will of course, be a part of the expansion, is the development of an outdoor sea lion habitat. They will be bringing California sea lions to our Sunshine State. That’s a first!
It’s going to be a multi-year project. It will kick off in January of 2023 and is expected to take until 2025 to be finished. In addition to the California sea lion exhibit, the expansion will also have a rotating “special exhibit” gallery.
What is your current favorite part of the Florida Aquarium? We love the sting ray touch tank.
