Reviews
"Fun time and live music! Awesomeness!"
"I don't like seeing animals out of they're habitats for the sake of humans...but then, we've been doing this to all creatures for a very long time. Disappointing that we haven't evolved too."
"Small but very educational. The young lady manning the horshoe crab & urchin tank is friendly and knows her info. Oftentimes I am disappointed by the lack of info by those stationed in an area, but they had a wealth of knowledge as long as you ask the right questions. Thank you! I enjoyed learning about the horseshoe crab."
"Very cute place to bring young kids for a little marine science education at the end of the pier. There are touch tanks and small aquariums and things to touch. I definitely plan to bring my kids to the Mote Marine facility while on this vacation. The best part is this little area is free."
"What a cool place that is at the end of the Anna Maria pier! One great example of local tax dollars funding places like this!"
