Introduction
Built in 1934, the Key West Aquarium is one of the oldest attractions in the Florida Keys, preserved during the Great Depression as a Federal Emergency Relief Administration project. It showcases the rich marine life of the waters around the Keys, including sharks, rays, sea turtles, tropical fish, and endemic reef species. Daily shark feedings and sea turtle encounters are the most popular programs, letting visitors watch keepers interact with these animals up close. The aquarium actively participates in sea turtle rescue and coral conservation, serving as a window into the Keys' marine ecology. The building retains its 1930s character, matching the laid-back vibe of Old Town Key West, making it ideal for families and ocean lovers.
