Sarasota, FL 34236-1004 - +1 941 388 4441
- We were at the aquarium today and the visit was horrible. The dolphine exhibit was "closed" the manatee tank was so cloudy we could barely see them...and the place basically felt uncared for. I did some quick math and figure that it is about time for some of the hefty entrance fees to be ... more on TripAdvisor

Besides seeing the fish on display you should take the bay boat tour run by the Mote. It was a realy fun way to spend time on the water and see some of the actual sea life in Sara... more on Yahoo!

- We stayed in a condo in the 500 block of Beach Rd. about a 1/4 mile north of the public beach from June 5-10th, 2005.

The only negat... more on TripAdvisor
