This was a new trip for 2005 and met with great success. We alternate this with a trip to the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota.  We're going back in 2007. A signup list will be circulated in December and advance payment will be required beginning on December 14th.

We'll plan to meet at the Aquarium between 10:00 am.

Address: 701 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL 33602

Tel:  813-273-4000

The price of admission is normally $17.95 Adults/$14.95 Seniors (60+) and $12.95 Children (2-12) with a group of 15 we will pay $10.95 Adults/$8.95 Children, under 2 are free.  Parking is $5/car - we'll probably try to carpool and share the cost of gas & parking.

 
In 2005 the Aquarium provided a unique, behind the scenes tour so it might be possible for this visit.
